Kojima Disappointed With Metal Gear Solid 4

Looks like Kojima Jr. isn't the only one disappointed with Metal Gear Solid. The latest issue of the UK's Edge magazine contains an interview with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, who expresses disappointment with the latest game in the series, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It isn't so much the gameplay itself as it is the graphics.

"Game-wise, it's pretty close to the original vision: you sneak into the battlefield and can choose whether to do a stealth game or interfere with the battle more directly. But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction.
Now Kojima is a well-known perfectionist, but it is a bit disturbing to see him voice his dissatisfaction with what is supposed to be the masterpiece of the franchise. So where does he lay the blame for not fully realizing his vision?

Rock Band World Tour Offline Only

One of Rock Band's most attractive features, the ability to play Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead Or Alive" alongside other virtual musicians over the internet in the fake band of your own design, may be more limited than originally thought. The deep adventure mode-style Band World Tour feature, one that allows for the formation of a band that tours dozens of venues for cash and in-game prizes, will be a strictly offline affair. According to a posting on the official Rock Band forums, uncovered by the team at Shacknews, was cut due to time restrictions. More »

WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Pre-Orders Spawn

Kotaku reader Ian lets us know that Gamestop and EBgames have begun soliciting pre-orders for the next World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. The specialty retailer has provided the date of November 3, 2008 and applied a price of $39.99. However! The company is extremely candid—and, dare I say witty?—in its explanation of the expansion's price and date estimates. More »

Clip: Sonic and the Secret Rings

At this point I completely refuse to get excited about anything involving Sonic the Hedgehog, no matter how much guitar-heavy music you put behind it. This here's some gameplay footage from Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii.

There's this tiny part of me who felt a little stir watching that, which I am going to have taken out back and shot later to avoid disappointment. The mini-games look interesting, but I've got plenty of those on the Wii. It's going to get to the point where Wii games lose a review score point for not including random mini-games. The Secret Rings should be hitting towards the end of this month. Michael Fahey More »

Good News? Diablo Trilogy Announced

Bad news? It's a bunch of books. You know, Blizzard, I play games so I can avoid the crushing boredom of looking at black ink on paper, not so I can pretend to be literate. When I want to read something, it better be a game FAQ or an instruction manual. More »
