On the precipice of a full-scale "Devil May Cry" reboot, Capcom has given in to another popular trend by rereleasing the series' three Playstation 2 entrants in high definition.

Or rather, it kind of does that, if you don't count the parts of "Devil May Cry" and "Devil May Cry 2" that remain in slightly blurry fullscreen. The standard-definition content is relegated to menus and cutscenes, and all gameplay in all three games is presented in widescreen with aged but HD-friendly graphics. But the strange first impression this oversight gives is an unintentional sign of things to come if you fully plunder "Devil May Cry HD Collection's" depths.

From Wikipedia:
Norman Thomas "Turkey" Stearnes (May 8, 1901 – September 4, 1979) was an African American center fielder in the Negro leagues. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Stearnes acquired his nickname at an early age from his unusual running style. He began his career in professional baseball in 1921 with the Montgomery Grey Sox, then played for the Detroit Stars, beginning in 1923. In 1931, the Stars failed to pay Stearnes his salary because of the Great Depression, so he moved from team to team for the remainder of his career, retiring in 1942 as a member of the Kansas City Monarchs.
