Trailers: Check out MGS: Peace Walker on the PS3

Somebody must have missed the memo on this being part of an “HD” collection. But I suppose I can forgive these PSP graphics considering the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection packs in MGS2, MGS3, and Peace Walker all for a cool $40. What I can’t forgive is the inexplicable absence of the original Metal Gear Solid. What’s up wit dat, dawg?

Reactions: Silent Hill takes cues from film, realizes rain is dramatic

So dramatic, in fact, that the eighth entry in the revered series has officially been dubbed Silent Hill: Downpour. Developer Vatra Games hasn’t revealed many details on protagonist Murphy Pendleton’s story, but I’ll speculate that involves fighting off the nightmarish boredom of a rainy day. That’s scary, right?

Reactions: MGS: Rising delayed to 2012?

You get to keep your spine for a little while longer.

Originally revealed at E3 2009 and expected to ship in 2011, Kotaku is reporting that Metal Gear Solid: Rising won’t be seeing store shelves until 2012. That’s rather disappointing, but at the same time, I feel like if they get the sword fighting mechanics in this game right (and they looked damn right the last time we saw it), it could revolutionize sword-based action games as meaningfully as the original MGS did for stealth-action games.

Trailers: Extended look at Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

I haven’t really been following this game too closely since Castlevania never met that much to me, but I’m sure some people out there are greatly invested in this. I have to say, it doesn’t look half bad. Those Titan fights at the end, while blatantly ripping off Shadow of the Colossus, still look pretty fun. It’ll be interesting to see if a 3D Castlevania experience can finally satisfy fans.

E3 2010: Raiden goes all Iron Chef in Metal Gear Solid: Rising

And I love it! I just hope they can find interesting ways to keep the core gameplay from getting dull. And hopefully the story is as fleshed out as a true Metal Gear Solid game.

Trailers: Peace Walker walks the TGS showfloor

When they first announced this little PSP game and said that it was going to be a Metal Gear Solid experience on par with its console brethren, I honestly didn’t take it seriously. But if this trailer is any indication, then Peace Walker will be a shining addition to the MGS franchise. I guess I just don’t understand why they’re putting such a full-fledged, story-driven game on a portable. But hey, the gameplay looks fun, and that’s all that matters.

E3 09: Hideo Kojima Announces New Metal Gear Solid for Xbox 360

Hideo Kojima popped up out of nowhere at the Microsoft Press Conference today to announce a new Metal Gear Solid game that’s “in development” for the Xbox 360. It’s called “Metal Gear Rising” and will apparently star everybody’s favorite Metal Gear Solid character, Raiden. The short teaser for the game showed what was basically the same image seen on the Kojima Production’s teaser site along with pictures of Raiden. I remain skeptical whether a good Metal Gear game can be made that doesn’t star Snake, but the teaser did include the words “lightning bolt action”, so it can’t be all bad, right?
