The Games with Gold offer for March 2019 was highly anticipated but received a rather lackluster welcome; this reception was due to Xbox’s decision to announce the new month’s titles the day before their official release. On the last day of February 2019, Xbox’s Major Nelson and the Xbox team announced the Games with Gold titles for Xbox Live Gold members for the month of March ...[Read More]
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was easily one of my favorite games of 2013. I had the pleasure of reviewing it on the Xbox 360 platform, and found myself, for the first time, truly loving a Metal Gear game. A lot of this may have been due to Platinum Games having their hands in on the game’s development, of course. If you’ve been paying any attention, I often praise Platinum Games to a...[Read More]
If you’re a proud owner of the game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance we have some news for you. Today Konami has announced DLC packs for the game. The first we already know about since it’s the VR Mission DLC for PS3. What is the rest? Good question!
When someone says that a game is not worth $59.99 solely because of its length, I always throw Vanquish out as an example of an incredibly high quality, yet short, experience that is unequivocally worth full retail pricing. If a game is both short and underwhelming, then I can understand the argument, but simply discounting a game based on length will always result in an impassioned argument of...[Read More]
I know this is a little late (what’s two weeks between friends?), but here it is anyway. If you haven’t read our PAX Prime coverage of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, then what the hell are you waiting for?! Get on it, and get excited about this game. You know what’ll help you get even more excited? Limited Edition details. Announced two weeks ago, the Metal Gear Rising: Revengea...[Read More]
As I’ve said before, I’ve never been a huge fan (or really, any kind of fan at all) of the Metal Gear franchise of games. I find the forced stealth gameplay through extreme punishment for derivation from that gameplay to be contrary to my enjoyment of the experience. I appreciate all that it has accomplished and what it means for its fans, but it’s not a game/series that I can si...[Read More]
Developed by Kojima Productions and Platinum Games, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will bring a new action gameplay style to the Metal Gear franchise.

I’m not a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid series. I can appreciate it for what it is, but the gameplay itself is just not my preferred style. I never thought I’d find myself excited for a Metal Gear game, to be honest. Then I heard that Platinum Games was helming the next Metal Gear, titled Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and a spark of interest lit within me. Platinum Games is curren...[Read More]
See, because it’s revenge…and vengeance…Revengeance. Ok, so ignore the fact that “revenge” and “vengeance” are synonyms with nearly identical definitions. Think of it as just a really badass sounding name, and when you think of it that way, you’ll realize that it doesn’t HAVE to make sense, it just HAS to sound badass. Which it does. Regardless...[Read More]
The original idea for this episode of the Marooners’ Talk podcast was to really get into our anticipated titles for the rest of calendar year 2012. While we eventually got around to that, I believe our first 30-45 minutes focused on Internet providers, Doctor Who, used games, and various other topics. Come to think of it, the last 15 minutes kind of got off topic, too, so you’ve got ab...[Read More]
