The collection is a packaged set which includes: Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Special Edition.

Debuting in 2001, the series has picked up a massive following in the gaming community and the first title in the series picked up a meta-rating of 94.
Not only has the series been enhanced for high definition, it has also had a number of achievements and trophies added to it to further challenge players and to add another layer of replay to the game. Be sure to check your local retailers for price listings.
Entering a new month means some April showers of awesomeness with Xbox Live News with Pipper! I have failed to mention to all of our readers that I have done some sport fighting alongside my career in gaming. While not immersed into a console I was occasionally wrestling to prove my worth on the mat (take that however you want to). A sweaty victory is a victory none-the-less. The reason I bring this up is because we have a few sales including “King of Fighters” franchise. Let’s see what Xbox has in store for us.
Deals Of The Week
With SNK providing a handful of fighting classics, Activision is making price cuts all around World at War and giving the Germans more to be happy about. Then again I am about 85% disgruntled German, so I probably don’t qualify. Oh, wait – that’s regional not heritage…

A few games will be made available for On-Demand downloads: FIFA 12, Game Party: In Motion, Kinectimals, Air Conflicts Secret Wars, and Jurassic Park The Game. Let’s see if we can make a fun phrase by conjoining words from these titles. Nothing like an air bound animal secretly playing footy with a T-Rex kind of party.
Okay, enough messing around. There are few Xbox Live Arcade titles to keep you busy as well as a plethora of sales on Activision titles. Get out there and try something new and tell us here at Capsule what you liked and didn’t. Thank you once again for reading, and always remember “Play Hard or Don’t Play at All!”
Are you excited for EA’s upcoming MMO, The Secret World? Well good news, you can now pre-order the title and get some extra meat to chew on as well. As part of the pre-order campaign, those who pre-order the title will recieve access to all Beta Weekends for the game. beginning May 11th, 2012.
Players can pre-order EA’s not so secret MMO, The Secret World at the game’s official website here. The game itself is said to be attempting to revolutionize what has become a rather stagnant genre, MMOs. Whether or not it succeeds in doing so remains to be seen.
Will you be pre-ordering The Secret World for the PC? Let us know in the comments section below.
I still have memories of the first time I tried out Steel Battalion for the original Xbox. Yes, the gameplay was not quite perfect, but that wasn’t the point as you got to use that huge controller and feel like a bad-ass pilot. That’s all that really mattered.
Since announcing Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor a good while ago, Capcom have yet to come forth and explain how well the Kinect will play the part as the controller this time around, until today, that is. A new video has surfaced online that shows this new beast in action and from shifting gears to blasting away at enemies in your VT, this is the first game for the Kinect that actually deserves the catchphrase “You are the Controller”.
Check out the tutorial for yourself and learn a bit more on how this baby handles, and stay tuned as I’m sure even more footage for Heavy Armor will be releasing as we get closer to the June launch for the game.
EA have announced that players can now rent their own server in Battlefield 3’s online multiplayer mode. The advantages of which really comes down to having power over an entire server (insert evil laugh here). EA has also released a trailer to coincide with the new addition to the game which can be seen below.
The trailer explains how a player can rent their own server, what doing so allows them to do and just generally enticing them with the promise of unprecedented levels of power.
What do you think about being able to rent your own server in Battlefield 3? Will you rent one? Let us know in the comments section below.
Best known for their battery cases for the iPhone, mophie just pushed out their latest case for the new iPad. The mophie workbook folio is compatible with the new iPad and the iPad 2. It’s held close by magnets and will wake your iPad when opened. Although mathematically incorrect, the case is advertised as having infinite viewing angles. What this actually means is that unlike the two viewing angles provided by the Apple Smart Cover, the mophie workbook folio can be angled exactly the way you want it. The case is constructed with faux leather, making it easy to clean. Mophie has confirmed that this leather is %100 animal free which will be great news to our vegan readers. Each case comes with four different coloured straps to keep your workbook folio closed while matching your outfit. The mophie workbook folio is available in black, white, gray, brown, and purple and will set you back $49.95.
Incipio is continuing to expand their case line for the new iPad with the Incipio Hive Honeycomb dermaSHOT Silicone Case. Everyone probably knows some one with one of those gross silicone cases that has months of pocket lint, hair, and god knows what stuck to the case. Thankfully the Hive case is made out of the special dermaSHOT silicone material that is anti-static and won’t get sticky over time. The case is constructed with a honeycomb design that helps absorb impacts and provides a great gripping surface for holding your iPad. As a bonus, the Hive case comes with a cleaning cloth, applicator card, and two screen shields, in clear and matte finishes. All of this is available for $39.99 on Incipio’s website.
Case-Mate has released their latest addition to the Colorblock series of accessories. The Colorblock case for the new iPad is available in lipstick pink with marine blue accents and marine blue with emerald green accents. These cases are made from real leather and are extremely thin, using magnets to keep the case closed. The iPad itself is secured into place with Velcro fasteners and the case leaves all ports and buttons accessible. Before you miss your Apple Smart Cover, the Colorblock case folds into a stand for your viewing and typing pleasure. The Colorblock case is available now at Case-Mate’s website for $90.00.
In a recent interview, lead writer Matt Turner talked about how Desmond will fit into the storyline of Assassin’s Creed 3.
“All I can say about Desmond’s story is you’re going to experience more Desmond than you’ve ever had before,” he said. “We’re spending more time on the present than we have in past games.”
Desmond will represent “a big part of our story,” he continued.
Is more Desmond a good idea or bad? Sound off in the comments below!
