Why the Xbox 360 Won’t Get the Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection

Remember when Metal Gear Solid 4 was launched? And how it was such a big deal that the game wasn’t coming to the Xbox 360? Remember that? On his online radio show, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima talked about why there wasn’t an Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection. “I’m sorry…

Meet The New King Of Metal Gear Cosplay

I’ve seen some fantastic Metal Gear cosplay in my time, but boy, I’ve never seen something that, from head to toe, looks this good. Like, look at the wear and tear on his shirt. The facial expression. The make-up. The hair. It is Snake, incarnate. It’s so good, in fact, you should check out the…

Might David Hayter, the longtime voice of Solid Snake said to be excluded from Metal Gear Solid 5, still make an appearance? Reader and longtime MGS fan Di Viexi pieces together a recent Tweet and a YouTube video to say … maybe … Check back on June 11.

There Might Be a New Metal Gear Solid Collection

Yesterday, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima tweeted out this picture. He wrote that he was in the process of checking whatever was in it. He didn’t say what. However, the Korean Game Rating Board might have. As of yesterday, the Korean Game Rating Board posted an entry on something called “Metal Gear Solid The Legacy…

A Moving Tribute To Metal Gear Solid 3’s Ridiculous Ladder Climb

You may previously have thought this was the most boring thing in Metal Gear history. A ladder that seemingly goes on forever. A test of your patience and nerves. It’s not. You just needed to see the ordeal in a new light. Like James Howell here, who writes in addition to the video above: This…

Show Us What You Love and Hate About Solid Snake’s Character Design

There are times when an expressive character design works the best. That’s how I’ve always felt about the art of the Metal Gear series — it’s emotional, dramatic and implies so much about its characters simply by how it’s drawn. Of course, you might disagree with me. Using our image annotation system, show us what…

The Most Amazing Video Game Continue Screens

The continue countdown screen was introduced to arcades in the 80s. It was a simple and effective way of getting players to fork over more money. When you fail, the screen comes up for a limited time with a countdown to insert additional coins or press a button. Most of these games’ continue screens were…

The Darkest Cyberpunk Worlds In Japanese Video Games

Cyberpunk was a big deal in the 80s and in the 90s. Writers like Philip K. Dick and William Gibson, movies like Blade Runner, and anime such as Akira heavily influenced video games. The result was games with a dark, dystopian future, high technology and low life. We’ve gathered Japanese games from this era to…

Now that the people at GameFront have created a Metal Gear timeline (1944-2018), that series’ storyline makes so much more sense. See for yourself

“It’s been fifteen years, nine games, and an enormous blast to undertake. If it were my choice, I would do this role forever. To hear anyone else’s voice coming from Snake’s battered throat, makes me a little ill, to be honest.” – David Hayter, talking movingly today in a must-read Twitter message about not playing…

Hideo Kojima Excluded David Hayter from the New Metal Gear To Freshen Things Up

Yesterday, news broke that David Hayter—the man who’s been the voice of Solid Snake in all the English language releases of the storied Metal Gear Solid games—wouldn’t be coming back to reprise the role. Worse still, Hayter said that he wasn’t even asked to return. Last night, during a televised interview on GameTrailers, Metal Gear…

Hideo Kojima once again says Metal Gear Solid V will be his last Metal Gear. Haven’t heard that one before! More on GTTV

This Man Claims To Be Behind The Phantom Pain. He’s Not Kojima.

When The Phantom Pain was announced, one thought was on everyone’s mind: it’s gotta be Metal Gear related, and “Joakim Mogren,” the CEO at Moby Dick studios, is really just Kojima. Evidence seemed to point that way, anyway. So who is this dude? The picture comes from a tweet from Geoff Keighley. Here is the…

If You’re Going to Deface Your School Books, Do It Well. Like This.

Doodling in your text books is bad! I do not recommend it. At all. However, let’s say you have to doodle in your text—like, if you don’t, you get in trouble. Then, by all means, please deface the book in the most entertaining way possible. Above, you can see Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen getting the…

The Coolest Mecha In Japanese Video Games

Besides mecha anime, video games also feature some of the most awesomely-designed armoured fighting vehicles. Japanese games—mostly shooters—tend to dominate this field (sorry MechWarrior), so narrowing down our selection to Japenese mecha was an obvious decision from the beginning. Deus (Xenogears) Federation Assault Suit (Cybernator) GEKKO (Metal Gear series) The First Boss in Assault Suit…
