Ohhhh the rumours will just never cease, will they? If it’s not the 360 getting Blu-ray that’s setting the rumoursphere aflame, it’s the 360 getting MGS4. Today is no different, with some bloke on Twitter setting everything alight…or not.
See what I mean over the jump.

The ending of Metal Gear Solid 4 was something else; the ending to, um, end all endings. It was filled with strand-tying revelation after revelation, filling in all the plot holes left open by the games before, and throwing in a few surprises too. The thing is, the ending itself was a little on the “a [...]

One of the most ambitious, incredibly hyped, and largely delivered games of 2008 had to be Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid 4.  The game was both a showpiece for the Playstation 3, one of the last large-scale AAA system exclusives, and the end of the Solid Snake saga.  The only thing people really seem to [...]

I don’t know what it is, but I seem to have been lumped with all sorts of Top 100 Gaming Moments of 2008 articles that have to do with complaining about things. I’ve complained about Cliffy B (twice), the lack of PS3 Trophies at their inception and Sony’s handling of the LittleBigPlanet moderation. Now I get [...]

Konami’s Japanese website is currently hosting a the above teaser image leaving people to wonder exactly what they’re hinting at.  Should we be expecting a expansion to MGS4?  Is this finally the confirmation 360 owners have been waiting for that MGS4 is coming to their system?  SarcasticGamer.com did some digging and we found other teaser [...]

I thought I would’ve had time to finish Gears 2 by now but the real world has repeatedly tag-teamed me into submission.  I’m two chapters from finishing the last act; I can almost smell the champagne at the finish line of what’s turned out to be a really enjoyable game.  But… as with virtually every [...]

Poor old Hideo Kojima. When he’s not creating overly-philosophical and preachy storylines in Metal Gear Solid, he’s being harassed about whether the latest game in the series will ever make it to the Xbox 360.
Well, he’s finally come clean.  He wants you to know that it IS NOT coming to the 360.
Get over it already.  [...]

See, I always knew Hideo Kojima was onto something when the original Metal Gear Solid included a special, unlockable item called stealth camouflage in its inventory of gadgets and gizmos. In MGS, and its three sequels, the Stealth item instantly made Snake (or, eurgh, Raiden) completely invisible by, according to the item window, bending light [...]

Not much of a newspost, but I had to put this up after spotting it elsewhere. In a promotion for the new Metal Gear Acid Mobile game for cellphones, Konami created a viral video with the tagline “Save The World With Your Fingers” and ran with it, re-enacting the opening scenes of Metal Gear Solid [...]

Oh man, I’ve reached that terminal stage with Metal Gear Online where I realize there’s something disappointing coming up. It’s happened before with other games: Burnout Paradise had far too many Freeburn Challenges to bother slogging through, Resistance was lame once you’d figured out how to use Hedgehog grenades and if you were in a [...]

I realize that even though Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of the best games of all time, some people won’t like it. No one will ever make a game that makes everyone happy. I understand that. What I don’t understand why people dislike the game. How can those that are mesmerized by the games’ [...]
