I'm sure there's some semblance of a story in there, but sometimes you just feel the need to crush some demon skulls! Here's a link to the Google Play Store where you can grab it for just $2.99. It seems to have garnered quite a bit of praise, but we trust our members' tastes, so please let us know if it's worth a look in the thread! The music in the trailer is certainly epic!

Am I the only one who looks at this and sees Devil May Cry 3 written all over the design?

Looks like a pretty decent game. May have to check it out.

I do, actually. Along with Red Dead Redemption.

Edit: it does look pretty intriguing, though. Looks like I would enjoy playing that. Imagine if it was a major platform game like xbox 360 or the PS3 (or the upcoming PS4 and xbox "720").

Agreed on the RDR front. If it were a console release I'd probably be all over it. As a mobile release though...not sure how responsive the touch controls will be to rapidly-paced input commands.
