Posted on June 28, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Two of Konami’s biggest games for 2012 and 2013 will be playable by the public for the first time at Germany’s GamesCom in August. Fans of Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid franchise will get their first taste of Raiden’s blade with a playable demo of next spring’s Metal Gear Solid Risisng: Revengeance. For those in attendance looking for something a little less blood-soaked and a little more macabre there’s always Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate for the Nintendo 3DS.

Gamescom 12 will run in Colonge Germany from August 15th through the 18th. While we won’t be at the show itself, if any big announcements are made we will be sure to bring them to you.

Solid Snake Infiltrates Vita On June 12th

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

We already knew that the Metal Gear Solid Collection would be making the jump to Vita next month but now we have a more specific window. Solid Snake will make his debut on Sony’s next generation portable on June 15th according to Konami.

The Vita version of Metal Gear Solid Collection will differ slightly from its console counterparts. For one it only includes Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 since Peace Walker can be purchased digital through the PSN already.  Konami has also implemented some touch based controls in both games, giving you the ability to zoom with a sniper rifle or peak around corners, for example.

Konami Set To Deploy Solid Snake Onto Vita This June

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

Solid Snake will be deployed on the PlayStation Vita for the first time with the release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection this June Konami has announced. The Vita version of the collection will include the re-mastered versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 that were released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 last November.

The ability to bring these two classics isn’t the only selling point for the Vita version of the collection. Players will be able to use their fingers to zoom and peak around corners. The game also supports the “transfaring” option allowing players with both the Vita and PS3 versions to transfer their saves between platforms.
