amers have known about the existence of Devil May Cry 4 since E3 2005, but now Game Informer is blowing the lid off of this amazing heavy hitter in the PlayStation 3's 2007 lineup. Created by famed producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Devil May Cry 4 features new weapons, bigger bosses, and the introduction of Nero - a brand new lead character.
