While I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the developers’ original intention, 007 Legends plays like an intricate love-letter to the golden age of gaming. With graphics that wouldn’t feel out of place in 2002’s Brosnan-inspired 007 Nightfire, some woeful combat that survives only on its charm and some trademark humour than would split the sides of...

A marmite franchise is made more palatable in a fresh bid to revitalise the Devil May Cry saga, but is the re-birth of one of gamings most iconic demon-hunters really a step in the right direction for both Capcom and Ninja Theory? I’m of the mindset that Devil May Cry was in desperate need of...
