Back in 2001, when the original Devil May Cry first exploded on to the shelves in a shower of demon blood and silver bullets, I thought I'd never see anything cooler.ĭante's debut was a hack'n'slash adventure with a difference. Isn't that every teenage boy's notion of cool personified? Perhaps not, no, but it was definitely mine. Oh, and his name's Dante, as in the guy with the Inferno.

By which I mean, he's actually half-human, half-demon, wears a red trenchcoat open over a rippling six-pack, and has a tendency to flip out and transform into a monster. T he hero of the Devil May Cry games is a teenage boy's idea of the coolest human being imaginable.
