Every right-minded, patriotic and God-fearing American citizen surely harbor a deep-seated desire to kick that slimy purveyor of misinformation Bill O'Reilly in the butt. And as it happens, DmC Devil May Cry gives the player a great opportunity to get some target practice on a fictional version of said propagandist called Bob Barbas (his nefarious Raptor News Network being the obvious parallell to Fox News).

Titles such as Grand Theft Auto 4 might present satire with a little more subtlety than this, but it's always refreshing to see a game with such a seemingly far-fetched premise (i.e. some version of the war between heaven and hell) transcend its source material and be about something more than fantastical creatures duking it out in style. Also, conceptually inventive levels such as this one nicely showcases Ninja Theory's excellent art direction (on a side note, the Barbas boss fight looks pretty awesome in stereoscopic 3D).
