Devil May Cry is an action game developed and published by Capcom, released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2. Although it is the first game in the Devil May Cry series, the events in the game are second in the series storyline's chronological order, taking place after Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and before Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 4. Set in modern times on the fictional Mallet Island, the story centers on the characters Dante and Trish and their quest to confront the demon lord Mundus. The story is told primarily through a mixture of cutscenes, which use the game's engine and several pre-rendered full motion videos. Devil May Cry received prominent coverage in the video game media, high overall scores from professional reviewers, and has sold more than two million copies. (more...)

___________________________ Wikiquote quote of the day:

I never started to plow in my life

That some one did not stop in the road And take me away to a dance or picnic.

I ended up with forty acres; I ended up with a broken fiddle — And a broken laugh, and a thousand memories,

And not a single regret. --Edgar Lee Masters http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edgar_Lee_Masters
