MGS: Rising Not Rising Again Till E3 2010
See what I did there? That's joke quality people should be paying for to read. But in any case, in an interview with PS3center.net, Hideo Kojima revealed that we won't be hearing about Metal Gear Solid: Rising again until E3 2010. The reasoning: a desire to focus on Kojima Productions other titles--Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Metal Gear Arcade, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. And while that news kind of stinks, because we want any new info we can get our hands on in regards to Rising, it's also very much understandable. And we would be lying if we said we weren't looking forward to these other titles just as much. Ok, maybe not so much for Metal Gear Arcade, but Castlevania and Peace Walker? Hell Yes!
TMNT: Turtles in Time Eventually Coming to PSN
If you are a Playstation 3 owner and were looking forward to the release of TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, my advice to you is to go out and pick up a Xbox 360. We have ourselves another one of them "timed exclusives." Meaning--expect Turtles in Time to only be available on the Xbox Marketplace when first released, with a release on the Playstation Network coming some time far into the future. How far exactly? Well right now, it's far enough that there is no date even set. Ouch.
But if you take my advice and get yourself a Xbox 360, you can be playing TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled on July 22nd.
Ghostbusters for Xbox 360 is Region Free
Remember when it was announced that Ghostbusters: The Video Game would be exclusive to Sony systems in Europe for a limited time? Well, for those not willing to give in and pick up a Sony product in order to bust some ghosts, Atari has gone ahead and made the North American Xbox 360 version of Ghostbusters region free. Making it possible for you to import a copy of the North American version and play it on your European system, free of hassle. No mod chip required. It might cost a bit more to have the game shipped overseas, but you'll feel good inside because you will be directly responsible for sticking it to the man.
