Welcome to Retro Runback! A look back at games from believe it or not… 25 years ago. A new special series with Console Creatures' retro game coverage.

In 2001, the world was introduced to incredible PC games, and while we got our hands on the GameCube and Game Boy Advance for the first time, it was also another year of the PS2, the now-beloved Dreamcast, and the first-ever Xbox.

We're beginning this new series with a game that launched a massive franchise on the PlayStation 2, from one of the most renowned and recognized developers and publishers in gaming: Capcom.Let’s explore 2001’s Devil May Cry.
