Here's the chronological order of how the series plays out with a quick synopsis.
1. Devil May Cry 3
The setting takes place at an enchanted tower named Temen-ni-gru where Dante must go to stop his brother Virgil and a supernatural scholar named Arkham from obtaining the power of Sparda, the father of Dante and Virgil who was a legendary demon hunter himself.
2. Devil May Cry 1
Set in Mallet Town, the story is set in Mallet Town where Dante and a woman named Trish must stop the evil Demon Emperor Mundus from returning to the world.
3. Devil May Cry 4
Controlling Nero (new to the series) for the most part (with a few levels of Dante as playable), players must stop the Order of the Sword and their leader Sanctus, from completing a Frankenstein of sorts called "the Savior" as they set to create "Judgment Day" on their own with merging demons into the Savior and then opening all Hellgates to kill the rest.
4. Devil May Cry 2
In Vie de Marli, the story centers on Dante and Lucia in their fight to stop a businessman named Arius from raising the demon Argosax and achieving supreme power.
Now let's move onto the reception each game received from critics and the fans of the series.
Devil May Cry 1:
Selling over two-and-a-half million copies, Devil May Cry 1 is still the best game in the series to date. Reviews from video game news Web sites typically praised the title's gameplay innovations, action, visuals, camera control, and gothic ambience. While the critics did have problems with the high difficulty level, complex control scheme, short and underdeveloped storyline, and somewhat "jaggie" graphics, the average score the title was a 92%.
Devil May Cry 2:
Selling 1.6 million copies, Devil May Cry 2 is the game that many want to forget about. Many of the fans were disappointed in this sequel due to the lowered difficulty level, shoddy weapon selection along with being overall weaker than the original, environments that lacked detail, boss battles that didn't require any form of strategy, plus it also changed Dante considerably as the developers removed his laid-back personality that trash-talked at every instance against his opposition. Gamespot named Devil May Cry 2 it's "Most Disappointing Game" in 2003. The average score for DMC2 turned out to be a 72% decisively lower than the original's overall. DMC2 was disappointing to say the least, you may want to forget that this game ever exists if you are a DMC fans.
Devil May Cry 3:
Set before Devil May Cry 1, this prequel sold 1.9 million copies and was gladly welcomed by Devil May Cry fans and critics. The new combat engine of Devil May Cry 3 helped prove worthy to the series as many praised the developers for not falling into the pratfalls of the second with a great storyline, over-the-top gameplay, impressive customization and good work with controls and the camera. Though, many took a disliking for the increased difficulty but it didn't stop many from still delivering a high score and much praise for the game. Capcom would later re-release the game with a Special Edition that would fix the difficulty and allow players to play as Virgil, Dante's brother. For the score, it ended up scoring around a 84%, a big relief to Capcom and its fans for bringing the series back to life.
Devil May Cry 4
For the first time, the game was released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 simultaneously to where it would sell two million copies together in the first month alone. While critics didn't take a liking to the hard-rock soundtrack the screams in the gamer's face, they did fall in love in the superb voice-acting though many will agree that the one-liners fail to find their humor. But for the action-oriented gameplay, fans and critics agree that Devil May Cry 4 is a great refinement of the series introducing a new lead character who possesses fine abilities to take advantage of. Sadly, the backtracking through the levels and fighting three of the same bosses three times in the game are two faults the game has. Being a little too repetitive for many gamer's taste -- along with this critic himself -- Devil May Cry 4 is a worthy entry but doesn't feel as nearly complete as DMC3 or DMC1. Standing at a 83% at Gamerankings.com, Devil May Cry 4 at least hits for par rather than bogeying like Devil May Cry 2.
As it stands:
DMC1 - 92%
DMC3 - 84%
DMC4 - 83%
DMC2 - 72%
Stay tuned for my review of Devil May Cry 4 later this week.
Move over Resistance 2, there's a new sheriff in town -- well, at least for the Xbox 360 there is.
THQ and Kaos Studios' own Frontlines: Fuels of War will now be supporting 50 players on Xbox Live for the Xbox 360.
Though, this is still light compared to the PC version which supports 64 players.
The information comes from a developer of Kaos at their community forums
"Frontlines will in fact have some servers set to 50 players on the xbox. We have been testing for some time now and its on heck of an experience."
Frontlines: Fuels of War is scheduled to be released on February 22 for the Xbox 360 and PC. The PS3 version was canned last month due to undisclosed reasons (rumor has it was because of financial reasons).

Here it is ladies and gentleman: The movie was not all that I had expected. I was hoping for more of a plot and alot of action. It delivered on the action, not so much on the plot.
The film has a lot of great action scenes and all things considered, it was a pretty good movie. Rachel Bilson=Gorgeous! Which is pretty much the best part of the film. Well, except for the concept of being able to jump from place to place in milliseconds, but we all know that isnt real. But Rachel is, so we can dream about here ;-)
Anyways:
3 out of 5
PLOT PLEASE?!
Little did Jocelyn know, her husband would be quickly taken by the game. They had their first discussion over his growing obsession with the game in May of 2005, only 5 months later. It was only 4 months later that Jocelyn would move from their home of 6 years because she had been replaced by a fantasy world.
According to Jocelyn, World of Warcraft was the main reason for their separation. A recorded confession to her husband is as follows: "I'm real, and you're giving me up for a fantasy land. You're destroying your life, your six-year marriage, and you're giving it up for something that isn't even real."
Despite their differences, the couple has remained friends since the separation, and Peter has even agreed to cutting his time spent on the game. Jocelyn, herself, was a gamer; in fact, she worked for Blizzard Entertainment on a project prior to WoW. She claims that all MMORPGs are built the same as a drug. They make the game never ending so you must continue playing to maintain your status in the fantasy realm, which keeps almost every player crawling to them for more.
In the interview with Yahoo! Games, Jocelyn was asked if she would consider marrying another Warcraft player, to which she laughed. "That's actually one of my primary criteria now -- I don't want to marry someone who is a gamer."

USA Network has bought TV rights to Paramount and Lucasfilm's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, reports Variety.
USA is buying not only the latest sequel but the first three installments in the series as part of an overall deal that could cost the network $40 million, depending on the box office racked up by "Crystal Skull" in U.S. theaters. (USA's license fee is directly tied to the movie's domestic theatrical revenues.)
Paramount won't be releasing "Crystal Skull" until May 22, but the deal calls for USA to get its first runs of the previous three -- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), "Temple of Doom" (1984) and "Last Crusade" (1989) -- in May as a marathon promotional vehicle for the fourth film.
One reason USA was able to outbid its two main rivals, TNT and FX, for the "Indiana Jones" package is that all four movies are likely to play on both USA and its sister net SCI FI Channel, with maybe even a run or two on its Bravo sibling.
USA takes title to "Crystal Skull" in 2011, and during the course of the movie's multiyear license term, Paramount will get the right to sell a few runs to a broadcast network in a carve-out following USA's premiere group of runs.

After going 2-0 last weekend, I'll try and finish the playoffs (not counting the wild card, because I didn't start picking until the divisional round) 5-2
To be perfectly honest, this is going to be a close game between the Pats and the G-Men. But if I have to pick one winner, it has to be the team of destiny.
And no I'm not talking about the second Manning to win the title the year after the first Manning did it.
While Eli has done a great job managing the game, not forcing turnovers and having a fairly decent passing rating. The game is too intense for someone like Eli Manning to just "manage the game."
The Pats will force Eli to beat them, and since the Patriots are playing for more than just an undefeated record, perfect season, their fourth title in seven years, and football immortality. They are playing for respect.
They've been disrespected since the start of the season with Spygate, since Don Shula opened his mouth about the running up the score. Etc., Etc., Etc.. There's one philosophy that I stand by and one that the Patriots stand by in reference to the running up the score. "Stop bitchin' and do something about it."
While their first meeting posed a threat to their perfect regular season, the G-Men will try to destroy hopes of a mark that can only be tied (so long as they keep the number of games played in a regular season/post season).
It won't be easy, but the fire power is too much for the Giants.
