Can't Be At Gamescom 2014 Or The Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Gamescom Preview? We Have You Covered With The Live Stream Below It's been a fun start to Gamescom here and it is time to keep the ball rolling with the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain preview from Kojima Productions and Konami. We had a nice little tease at things during the Sony Press Event but that was all new stuff with just the cardboard box. There has to be more doesn't there? Read More...

A screenshot from the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain looked real enough to be used for real news This news report has since been updated but it feels more like a PR spin than truly admitting that they screwed up and used an image from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain to shock people into believing their propaganda or at least listen to what they were saying. "News" outlet RT and show SophieCo were recently covering a story on children soldiers and were speaking to a former child soldier when the camera panned by and showed a scene from the next Kojima game. Like I said, it has since been updated to state that they knew it was from a video game but I have a feeling that is just to save face as something like this could ruin what the discussion was actually about.

Early on the 19th of June, Konami and Hideo Kojima showed off the closed doors demo for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Good news for all of you who didn't want to take the time to read through my Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain impressions from E3. It looks like Konami and Kojima wanted to cater to all of you who don't have the time to read through some heartfelt words letting you know what I saw for the game. They have just released the 30+ minute demo that was shown at E3 that many never had a chance to even see. Good news for you but bad for me as my words are falling on blind eyes now. Read More...

While at E3 I got to see Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in a more intimate setting than just the trailer. Here's my take on it All of the teases and short shows of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain can all be put aside now as we were given a new and nice look at the game and features that have yet to be announced or shown in a public form. It also kind of puts the whole demo thing for Ground Zeroes to the side as with what was shown here at E3 was considerably more and with a demo you should get all of the game's mechanics and features. Yes the core running, stealth, and shooting are all the same but here is what we didn't get to play before but will once The Phantom Pain launches. Read More...

Hideo Kojima gives us a minute and a half tease of what we will be seeing for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain out of E3 next week There has been no shortage of teases that we would be getting a small look at Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain before E3. Those have only been followed by the news of how big and "hard to watch" the actual gameplay footage at E3 will actually be. As a man of his word, Hideo Kojima has given us just that with the following teaser video showing nothing but gameplay for The Phantom Pain. The biggest thing to take away here is that we will be back to hiding in cardboard boxes again. Read More...

An interview question gets Hideo Kojima talking about remakes of the early Metal Gear franchise. In a recent interview on Twitch Hideo Kojima talked for a whole hour. Some stuff we already knew but a fan question made the future seem even brighter. While it would probably be very far off into the future it still makes my heart beat with glee. The only hope we have is that Kojima said he would like to remake the first two Metal Gear games. He also said when asked about DLC for Ground Zeroes that it would only push The Phantom Pain back further. Read More...

We Sit Down And Review Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Is it just an expensive demo or a real fun game? Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes has been labeled as one large demo and prologue to The Phantom Pain. In fact there have been gameplay sessions of the game that show it can be completed in a little over seven minutes. The game is also not the same price as a normal retail title but it is still $30 but is it worth the price of admission to Metal Gear Solid V? Let's dig in and see if you should drop the cash and time. Read More...

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes was always claimed to be short. But ten minutes short? Check it out. There has been no big secret that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a short game. The length lent itself to the lower price for the game as well as the lack of a platinum trophy in the end game. That said, would you believe that it can be beaten in about ten minutes? Yes, I said ten minutes. Read More...

We Sit Down And Review Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2. This is the supposed finale to this iteration of the franchise but does it end on a high note? It is been a long time coming but I finally got to play Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2 in all of its glory and non-demo version. I've been a bit worried about the visuals of the game as well as the controls since I first laid hands on the first build. You can imagine that I wanted to put this to the test and see if this would be the way that Mercury Steam wanted to end the Lords of Shadow story. Let's bite into this review already and see if the franchise has been bled dry or if there is still a bit of immortality left. Read More...

We have a plethora of new screens for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Look it's Psycho Mantis! We are quickly coming up on the launch of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes so it's good that we are getting a few new screen shots to help tide us over until that date. Most of them look lifted from gameplay videos that we have seen before or just title screens so…wait a hot minute…is that Psycho Mantis? Holy crap it is and in his PS1 low res glory. Maybe it is worth a deeper look at all of these new screens just to see what else we have going on here. Read More...

Konami tried to 'leak' information about Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, but can they really 'leak' the information? Usually when you hear about video game news leaking it is due to someone who pirated or downloaded something about the game that the PR reps, publishers, or developers didn't want in the wild yet. That is not the case this time with Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. At least if the PR email that I was sent as anything to say about it. Read More...

A new video from Konami showcases the graphical differences between the console platform versions of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Which is the best? Since we are still in the middle of a 'console war' as well as transitions in said 'war' wouldn't it be nice to see how Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes looks on all of them before you buy it. You know, so you can make an informed decision and what not before you finalize your purchase and all that jazz. It would be nice so you can play into the ever changing 'console war' and not to mention find which version of MGSV: Ground Zeroes will look the best. Read More...

Given current trends and statements, Metal Gear Solid V could easily be making the move over to the PC. While it is purely speculation at the moment, I believe Metal Gear Solid V will come to the PC. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has already been ported to the PC early in January, so to me it makes perfect since for all future Metal Gear games to be released on PC at some point in time. In interviews it has been stated Hideo Kojima really wants to push Metal Gear’s graphical boundaries to the limits of modern hardware. Considering when consoles are released they are somewhat on par with medium end gaming rigs available around the same price points but for the gap between quality further as years go by.

Here is a nice video clip showcasing what looks to be the entire boss fight for the Toy Maker in Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2. Spoiler alert if you can't understand that. So the title is a bit of a misnomer but none the less we have a nice new video for Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2. It features a character that was first introduced in Castlevania Lords Of Shadow — Mirror Of Fate; the Toy Maker. Don't fear if you still have no clue who that is by the way. The below video seems to pretty much give you what you need to know for CLoS2 as well as the entire boss fight from the looks of it. Read More...

The latest Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2 trailer gives a full montage of all the voice actors and major characters we will see in the game. Who doesn't like a good montage? Just in case we've all missed out on who will be in Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2, both character and voice-wise, we have been given a new trailer for the game defining just that. There are also a couple of in-game shots of the game's environments and gameplay but who cares about that? Am I right? Read More...
