February 29, 2008 - With all the videogames released each and every month, it can be a difficult task to decide on which title to spend your hard-earned money. Granted, you could always go by our review scores alone and weed through the long list of names to find something that scored high or low, but what if you had somewhere else to turn?
Rather than wait until the end of the year for our big award blowout, we've created this monthly tribute to the weeks that were. The entire PlayStation Team has come together so that we can tell our readers what we thought was the very best game for each system last month... and why. Though some of us often chime in with our comments at the end of reviews, for the most part, the reviews on IGN are primarily written by one editor. In this feature we had every editor on the channel vote for a single title. What better way to represent a team is there than to speak your collective minds?
How does it work? It's simple. Any game released in the past month is eligible for the award and is taken through a battery of tests by every editor on that particular channel. After we've finished evaluating each game we put our heads together and decide on a single "best of" winner that's worthy of the title "IGN Game of the Month." Pretty straightforward, don't you think?
Now that we have the guidelines out of the way, let's move on, and congratulate this month's winner.

DEVIL MAY CRY 4
Why We Picked It: Capcom's premiere action franchise has done it again with Devil May Cry 4, delivering one hell of a fantastic ride the whole way through. The series makes a stellar jump from the PlayStation 2 to the PlayStation 3 with killer visuals, intricately-detailed environments and a seemingly never-ending onslaught of enemies. Dante may have taken something of a back seat this time out, but newcomer Nero has some pretty slick tricks up his sleeve that help to keep things fresh. If you're a fan of action games, don't miss this one.
