Devil May Cry 3, Advance Combat Advance, MVP Baseball and more!

On tonight's episode of X-Play, we take a look at Capcom's Devil May Cry 2. It may have suffered from a sophomore slump, you knew the company--and the franchise--would come back in a big way. After all, Dante never backs down from a challenge. The saying proves true: Three really is the magic number--as long as you're hardcore enough to stick with it. The Ace Combat series is known for engaging gamers in arcade-style aerial combat, deploying plot and characters along with its more traditional munitions like cluster bombs and air-to-air missiles. One might say that Ace Combat Advance strips the series down to its basic elements. Unfortunately, they didn’t know when to quit. X-Play to tower: we can’t take it. We’re going down. As bizarrely compelling as the film, though way murkier from both a story and visual standpoint, Constantine is an action game that’s well ahead of its time. Oops, no, wait, we meant its way behind it’s time. If you can get beyond the archaic controls and the jittery camera, you might very well say, "What the hell?," and enjoy this run-of-the-mill action adventure. Based on the film that’s based on the Hellblazer graphic novels, there’s so much basing, it can’t be so bad! Or can it? We're used to baseball franchises that reinvent or revamp themselves every year, both in the real world and in the video game space. But Electronic Arts is bucking the trend in 2005, with what many believe to be its baseball swan song. MVP Baseball 2005 doesn't reinvent the game, instead retaining most of last year's features and adding a handful of welcome improvements. Are the new features enough justification to spend 30 bucks for the upgrade? Tune in tonight!
