Capcom has announced that the mobile version will be doing its bloodsucking next year. The mobile version features Dante taking on a series of missions based on the Devil May Cry 2 console game.

iplay.gifThere is a different kind of blood to be hand, this time it isn’t so much spilt but rather used to save in I-play’s ER Rush. OK, it doesn’t have the plot twists and soapy drama of Gray’s Anatomy, but it is better than a trip to the ER! Set to launch on major North American carrier decks this month, the game lets you play out as a junior ER doctor, who is charged with saving lives during a rush. You need to race against the clock to mend broken limbs, treat rashes and discharge patients as possible. Fortunately you don’t need to worry about turning down insurance claims! You do need to beat the clock while facing some weird patients including werewolves and vampires. That seems to be a trend with the current gaming news!
