Download the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo!

How’s your Japanese? You just brushed up on it? Good! IGN just decided to make the TGS demo to “Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker” available to their readers. And our readers. Ah, good old hyperlinks. Don’t tell them I sent you, though.
They also have an FAQ going, should your japanese be not up to stuff, or, like mine, non existant. Mushi-mushi!

Kojima explains Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Co-Op Gameplay [Comments Off]

MGS: Peace Walker (PSP)

From the trailer itself, it’s very apparent that the PSP destined “Peace Walker” grounds entirely in CO-OP infiltration mode. It states it at every opportunity. Two Snakes using military style shoulder signalling infiltrate an enemy encampment. By just including a second party in the infiltration mode, Kojima has opened wide a large array of tactical and sneaky scenarios to enact with your buddy.

What’s that you say? Your box was spotted? You now have a partner to set off a distraction so that your inevitable spotting doesn’t occur. Two or more guards in a small area? Tranquilize one while the others are turned, knock on two walls with your partner doing the same somewhere else to separate the remaining sentries and take them out silently. How’s that for Tacticle Espionage?

The trailer also shows off a partner mechanic that would make “Army of Two” creators facepalm in the most cranium massaging way. During the Military style shoulder signalling mode, the leader can stand up turning both players into an assault stance. The first player then leads while shooting and the second Snake automatically follows with the task of keeping their six covered.

Now take everything I said and multiply it by two. I’ll be here waiting while you do the math. Done? Four Snakes in one setting, all “co-operating” towards one goal. Without a doubt, “Peace Walker”, as a portable game, will raise the bar in Co-op.

Gamers lucky enough to attend TGS will be able to go hands on with the game. There will be plenty of PSPs running the game on-site, but you will also be able to download the demo to your own PSP. Jealous!

Metal Gear Solid Rising, the next entry into the immensely popular Metal Gear series is coming to Xbox 360, as announced at Microsoft’s E3 press conference by Hideo Kojima.

It seems to star a new unknown character in the likeness of Raiden (except for the eye-color, which is decidedly emphasized as not blue) and the genre appears to be “Lightning Bolt Action”. More on this as it develops.

Silent Hill coming to the Wii? [Comments Off]

this item has no tags

The original for Silent Hill was an amazing game — not just judged by it’s own merits, but it also spawned the inarguably best sequel (and game) ever. Now, that was quite some time ago, and PlayStation games have not aged quite as well as one would hope!
Well, people who would like to (re-)experience the start of this tragic series are in for quite a treat, as Climax, the studio responsible for Silent Hill Homecoming is rumored to be porting Harry Mason’s Story to the Wii and the PSP.
Officially, this game has not been announced yet, but Silent Hill has just been rated by the BBFC, receiving a “15+” rating, which gives this rumor a little bit of extra validity.
