The first Face-Off of 2013 is based on a title that has divided its fanbase since its initial reveal at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show; Capcom's reboot of the Devil May Cry series, DmC, features a dramatic change in Dante's appearance, with the character ditching his iconic flash of white hair in favour of a darker emo-styled look, while taking on an even more blasé attitude. Perhaps more controversial than the rebooted storyline is the fact that Capcom enlists UK developer Ninja Theory for the new game, choosing a 30 frames-per-second update over the smooth 60FPS presentation of past titles. Series die-hards are concerned that the shift in developer combined with the decimated frame-rate will conspire to dilute the fast-paced action the series is known for in favour of something more palatable to mainstream tastes. Thankfully, this isn't the case, with Ninja Theory blending enjoyable melee and gun-based combat with an entertaining narrative and some stunning graphics.
