Award-winning composer and Blizzard dev Jason Hayes has gathered an army of prolific musicians, from session stalwarts to symphony stars to the pianist from freaking Toto, just to do video game music covers under the name Critical Hit. Here’s the first one. It’s pretty amazing. Not to discount the work of the thousands of video…

You’re Not Ready for MGSV. You Need Ground Zeroes to Prepare

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be divided into 2 parts: The prologue, Ground Zeroes, which takes place in 1975, and the main game, which takes place in 1984. Sound confusing? It’s actually done that way to make it less so. In a one-on-one interview with Weekly Famitsu, Kojima talked about the reasons…

Metal Gear Solid Glitches Take Snake To Nightmaretown

Colonel! These nanomachines have me tripping! Heh, this Metal Gear Solid compilation of corruptions and glitches by Vinnie from Vinesauce had me rolling while watching—even though, yes, some of ’em could be something out of a nightmare. Seems like it would be hard to go stealth while playing this way, too…but then again, Snake seems…

Raiden Is One Of The Best Video Game Action Figures I’ve Ever Seen

Out soon will be this Metal Gear Solid Rising Revengence figure of the game’s star, Raiden. Look at a single image and you might not think it’s that great. Look at more and you’ll see why he’s so amazing. He’s a Revoltech figure, famous for their articulation, meaning you can set him in just about…

We Don’t Need A Metal Gear Movie. We’ve Already Got A Real Snake.

When the Metal Gear movie is done – if it’s ever done – it’ll be 17 hours long, 16 of which will be people talking about something you don’t quite understand. What a drag. So let’s watch this much shorter Metal Gear movie, made by one of the world’s best cosplayers, instead. The man in…

Watch the New Metal Gear Solid V Demo for Yourself

Kotaku‘s impressions of the MGSV side ops demo sounded pretty darn cool. But nothing can beat eyes-on impressions with your own eyes. Nothing. The side ops demo is a little over twelve minutes and shows off MGSV‘s tagging function. It’s a bit like the system used in Far Cry 3, but minus the tigers. MGSV…

Metal Gear Solid V Cosplay Kept Ya Waiting, Huh?

Metal Gear Solid V isn’t out yet. Heck, there wasn’t even a playable demo at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Until we get our hands on it, all we can do is wait. Good thing there are talented cosplayers to help pass the time. At this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Metal Gear cosplay queen Omi…

The Metal Gear Solid Side Mission Demo Ended With A Badass Car Jump

If nothing else, Hideo Kojima knows how to work a crowd. So it’s only natural that he’d have something extra planned for the public day live performance of Tokyo Game Show 2013. In addition to the12-minute Ground Zeroes demo, Kojima also treated spectators to a brief side mission demo. Made specifically for the limited time…

One of Metal Gear Solid‘s Most Iconic Tropes Was Almost Axed

Looking at its gameplay, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and its prologue, Ground Zeroes capture the spirit of the Metal Gear series despite worries arising from director Hideo Kojima’s announcement that the game would be open world. However, a staple of the series—the exclamation point—was almost not included in Metal Gear Solid 5…

Kojima: Waterboarding, Torture “Needs to Be Done” In Games Like MGS

While Metal Gear Solid is a franchise that has included torture in the past, not only are more and more games including it recently—GTA and Splinter Cell, for example—it’s still a sensitive subject that’s hard to pull off tastefully. So naturally, it’s always a thing that people like to discuss—particularly, how to handle it properly,…

Metal Gear Solid V Made Even More Erotic Thanks to Sexy Fan Art

For some reason, Metal Gear Solid V is erotic. Or sexy. Or something. But honestly, the game isn’t sexy enough. Until now. Kept you waiting, huh? DeviantArtist ZombieSandwich (aka Anne Pogoda) whipped up this “Big Quiet Boss XD,” adding that she’s “truthfully a big fan of this game” and created this “as a parody.” There…

Three Theories As To Why Metal Gear Solid V’s Sniper Is So, Um, Sexy

Metal Gear Solid has never been a franchise that’s lacked fan service when it comes to depicting attractive characters, but that doesn’t mean the characters don’t have a reason for looking the way they do. Last week, Hideo Kojima tweeted that he was making some of the characters in Metal Gear Solid V more eroticas…

There’s a Reason for Metal Gear‘s Sexy Sniper. What It Is, Who Knows.

First, Hideo Kojima wanted the mute female sniper of Metal Gear Solid V to appear “erotic.” That was either a poor choice of words, or poor translation, but he evidently wanted the art director to sex her up to encourage cosplay. Or figurine sales. Well, now Kojima is Tweeting, and says we have it all…

Don’t Be Surprised If Metal Gear Solid V Seems More, Uh, Erotic

Hideo Kojima isn’t letting the designs of Metal Gear Solid characters happen willy-nilly, you know. There is purpose behind their design…and that purpose is to be, um, erotic? Erotic is good for cosplay and sells figurines, apparently. Straight from the man’s Twitter feed—note that “Yoji” refers to Metal Gear Solid V’s art director, Yoji Shinkawa.…

Happy 15th Birthday, Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid turns 15 today. To celebrate, Konami wants you to buy it on PSN. Which I suppose is a decent way to celebrate. I’m sure you’ve got favorite moments and memories surrounding the iconic stealth-action series, so please do share them here: cardboard boxes, pornographic mags, shaky sniper rifles, whatever.
