If your one of the unlucky gamers who missed out on any of these three great games, well, your luck is about to turn around. Capcom is repackaging three of their Xbox 360 platinum hits into one huge, cheap-ass bundle. Exciting, I know.

You’ll be getting Dead Rising, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition and Devil May Cry 4 all in one box! And the best thing about the package is that it’s dirt cheap. Yep, just $39.99 for all three games. Now at about $13.33 for each game, you can’t beat that.

Capcom is calling it the Platinum Hits Triple Pack, set to hit the Xbox 360 in September. If you missed any of the games, now is your chance to get all three in a great deal. Thanks Capcom!

Alright, the Devil may not be crying, but Capcom sure is. Capcom, which has produced the emo-kid wunderkind Devil May Cry series, is currently trying to repel all brigands and cutthroats as their most recent installment in the series is getting pirated.

Christian Svensson, Capcom’s senior director of strategic planning and research posted on the industry giant’s forum lamenting Devil May Cry 4’s abysmal PC sales.

“It’s such a good version and it really deserves better sales,” Svensson wrote. “I know it’s getting pirated to hell and back – it was up on torrents literally the day it shipped.”

Despite rampant pirating of the title, Svensson is adamant to continue digital distribution of future titles, including the forthcoming Bionic Commando.

“I certainly have pushed for digital distribution on (Devil May Cry 4) – globally, I’m responsible for all DD deals,” Svensson wrote. “I have a presentation I’m making shortly that I’m hoping will make that approach something we do with all our PC content, even those developed in Japan, but no promises. It might not happen.”

In the end Devil May Cry 4 brings the series to more gamers than ever before, using perfect artistry and impressive graphics to create the canvas for an addictive and challenging experience that is only marred by some unfortunate flaws. Read more…
