Devil May Cry: HD Collection

Devil May Cry (デビル メイ クライ) is a series of five action hack and slash video games set in the modern day. The series wasdeveloped by Capcom and created by Hideki Kamiya. Originally intended to be a sequel in Capcom's Resident Evil series, Devil May Crywas such a radical departure from the series' style that it was developed into a new property entirely. The series centers on the main character Dante's goal of avenging his mother's murder by exterminating demons. The gameplay consists of heavy combat scenes in which the player must attempt to extend long chains of attacks while avoiding damage in order to exhibit stylized combat; this element along with time and the amount of items collected and used are taken under consideration when grading the player's performance.
The series has been a success with the first three games selling multiple million copies and being awarded the "Platinum Title" award by Capcom. The success of the video game series has led to the creation of comic books, novelizations, an anime series, guides, collectibles, publications, and a variety of action figures.

Sine Mora

Sine Mora is a shoot 'em up video game developed by Digital Reality and Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Microsoft Studios. It will be released March 21, 2012 for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade. The game is a 2.5D shooter. Gameplay is restricted to two axes while the environment is rendered in 3D.

"Sine Mora, roughly translated from Latin, means “without delay.” It’s a stark warning as to what you’re getting into, with this frenetic shoot-’em-up brought to us via Grasshopper Manufacture. It’s quite a departure from the developer’s typically raunchy style — Killer7, Flower, Sun, and Rain, and No More Heroes to name a few." - Brittany Vincent-
