These were removed from the Beowulf article. They also need references. -Classicfilms 17:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

A character loosely based on Beowulf, sharing the same name, is also a playable character in the Playstation 1 game "Final Fantasy Tactics" and the remake PlayStation Portable (psp) game "Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War". This is ironic, as the character is in love with a dragon, and the legendary Beowulf was mortally wounded by one.

Beowulf appears in Spartan: Total Warrior as a Danish warrior.

Another unsourced game. Restore to the main article if provide a reference. -Classicfilms 18:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Beowulf is the name of a major enemy in Capcom's Devil May Cry 3, as well as the name of a pair of gauntlets and boots, usable by the main character Dante upon finding them some time after defeating Beowulf.

[edit] List of games restored after sources added

• Re-added the Final Fantasy Tactics Beowulf entry with references. Peaceoutside (talk) 18:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

• The Fire Emblem one is hard to provided a solid link for (as none talk about him exclusivity), so the best I can do is this faq from gamefaqs [1] (ctrl "Name  : Beowulf") —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.152.16.154 (talk) 05:29, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Found one that might pass sorceing guidelines, a profile on the official site for the game [2] (last one) --70.152.16.154 03:35, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

These seem fine to me. Why don't you add this game to the main article and offer both references. Thanks for checking. -Classicfilms 17:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
