Tweet Over the weekend GametrailersTV premiered the first work-in-progress Resistance 2 gameplay. To watch meant filtering through the entire show and as much as we love Geoff Keighley, we wanted to get to the good stuff.  Thankfully, now we can.

Tweet Ever thought a tank on legs would look stupid and too far fetched to be made real?  Yes, we’ve seen legged robots that are able to keep themselves upright, but give them a poke or a sharp incline and they are far from agile.  However, the days of Metal Gear are closing in on [...]

Tweet Yes, I’m British. I spell “rumour” with two u’s. What U going to do about it? Well hopefully you’ll have no time to do anything, because either you’ll be embedded in Snake’s final mission on the Playstation 3, or engrossed in one of Snake’s first on the Xbox 360.

Tweet Among other goodies, Ubidays in Paris has resulted in a long awaited revelation: the sequel to Beyond Good and Evil is real.

Tweet “Huh? Say that again…” There was always hope Heavenly Sword would give birth to a sequel that was “bigger and better than ever before.” At least that’s what we thought when we received a batch of new concept art from Ninja Theory. Not only were our hopes dashed, but they’ve now been pummeled into [...]

Tweet Want to know how much grown women love Wiis? Want to learn how much Americans like to keep fit? Want to see the reactions of ladies when they get free stuff? Want to know where all the Wiis and Wii fit have gone!? Ellen shows us how in a disturbing, yet hilarious giveaway.

Tweet Hideo’s coming to good ole’ Blighty! Naturally not for a holiday, but to please all the Snake fans. On Monday 2nd June, Metal gear fanatics will be able to meet Hideo Kojima and series’ artist Yoji Shinkawa at HMV’s Oxford Street store in London’s West End.

Tweet After reporting on the native rendering resolution of the Haze demo, some questioned my reasoning that the final game would sport the same resolution.
