Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Won’t Be Playable At TGS

Sony Computer Entertainment mentioned at its pre-TGS conference recently that it will be showing a number of titles in playable form at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, including sure-to-be hits like Bloodborne and The Order: 1886. What it didn't initially specify was whether or not Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain would also bring a playable demo to the show floor. Today, Konami revealed via its official TGS site that though MGS V will indeed appear, it will be in the form of a new video and hands-off presentation. In other words, still no gameplay for show-goers.

Zelda Producer Aonuma Hints At Improved Quality For Zelda Wii U’s Cutscenes

Longtime producer for The Legend of Zelda series Eiji Aonuma has long expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming Nintendo and Koei Tecmo collaboration Hyrule Warriors. I don't think he ever expected the game to match Nintendo's own quality, though. That changes things.

The New 3DS’ Packaging Is Awesomely Colorful

AGHH, my eyes! What is that, a three-dimensional supernova of Japanese gaming awesomeness?? Alas, it's the packaging for the New 3DS! In case you didn't know, Nintendo's new 3DS is actually called "New 3DS," and is releasing in Japan on October 11th. No date has been announced for the west just yet, but its fair to assume we'll eventually have access.

Run SackBoy! Run! Announced For PS Vita And Mobile Devices

Endless runners are endless fun, no? Hey, don't be so negative; that Rayman one was actually pretty enjoyable. Sony revealed today via the PlayStation Blog that a LittleBigPlanet-themed runner called Run Sackboy! Run! is coming soon for mobile platforms, and you can bet there are plenty of bubbles to collect, levels to unlock, and gear to buy. Are microtransactions part of the equation? It's not yet clear. But it certainly sounds like a good fit.

Bungie Teases Destiny Reveal, Releases Dust Palace Trailer

Destiny is so close now I can almost taste it, but that doesn't mean there aren't more juicy morsels of info for Bungie to let loose before the game's release. In fact, a tweet from the game's official Twitter account yesterday suggests that something big is on its way, sooner rather than later.

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack Review

Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack is a cleverly-designed platformer rife with smart puzzles, fun blob gameplay, and humor. Its weaknesses -- that it ought to have more levels and that some players may find it unchallenging at times -- are minor, and if charm and fun factor are your main concerns, then don't hesitate to give it a try.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse Eyes-On Preview [E3 2014]

It’s hard to imagine a Dragon Ball Z game being more intense than the Budokai fighting series on PS2. Or at least, it was -- until I visited Namco Bandai’s booth at E3 this year. Within ten minutes of checking out the new Dragon Ball game, it became abundantly clear than my imagination deserved to be punished not only for lack of ingenuity, but for underestimating Dragon Ball Z in general. With this series, the creators are always raising the chaos ceiling and turning things up just one more notch, and I should know that. It’s a mistake I won’t make again.

Jet Car Stunts To Land On Consoles This Summer

I didn't play Jet Car Stunts when it came out on iPhone a few years back, but I saw people playing it, and it always looked interesting. If it became popular enough, I figured, it'd eventually find its way to other platforms, and would you look at that -- it's now slated to appear on both current and next-gen consoles.

Mugen Souls Z Review

Mugen Souls Z ticks every JRPG box, for better or worse. It's plot and characters are ridiculous to the extreme, and if you can deal with the mediocre combat, the rest of the experience is an entertaining ride. If you already suspect its quirks and general absurdity will annoy you, though, then there's a good chance you're not wrong.

The Next Ace Attorney Game Will Feature Phoenix Wright’s Ancestor

I suppose when a series gets as many entries as Ace Attorney seems to, changing-up the premise is a smart thing to try and do. As it turns out, Capcom plans to do exactly that, if leaked pages from the most recent Famitsu are to be believed.
