While the recent entries in the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise have been good, improvements to the FIFA franchise have kinda left the once-premier soccer sim in its dust

But with Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, Konami are promising a "radical revamp". It's due this Fall on all the major Playstation platforms. That is: PS3, PSP and PS2. New features include improved defenders AI and reworked..

Konami's been gauging interest as to whether fans would like to see the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker make the jump to the Playstation 3, via PSN digital download

The jump would apparently bring online multiplayer to Peace Walker, perhaps allowing for the co-operative missions to be played across the 'net. The subject was approached during a Q&A session with journos. To be honest,..

Oh no

Consider our optimism at the announcement of a new Silent Hill game well and truly slashed. Rumours suggest that Vatra Games are to turn Konami's premium horror-franchise into a ten-a-penny first-person shooter. We just died a little inside. The report comes courtesy of GameRep, who claim that the studio's only listed release is an FPS due for release in Q1, 2011. Now, we know Vatra are..

Worried about the quality of a mainline Playstation Portable developed Metal Gear Solid game? Erm, don't

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker just nabbed a 40/40 in the Japanese gaming Bible Famitsu. That's a perfect score whichever way you look at it. The last game to score 40/40 in Famitsu was New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Metal Gear Solid 3 scored exactly one point less, hitting 39/40. Kojima's done it..

A podcast report released by Kojima Productions confirms that the development team behind Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker have now switched over to support the development of Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Presenter Sean Eyestone confirms: “Every once in a while we do this [move around] as one project finishes, then the next project starts up, so the key people have to relocate..

We love Kojima, but sometimes he's a bit melodramatic

Then we suppose the man that dreamt up the Metal Gear Solid franchise would need to be a little big melodramatic, wouldn't they? Yeah, ok then. It makes sense. Still, with Kojima's attentions seemingly already turned to his next project, the legendary developer has Tweeted about the consequences of messing it up: “The next project will..

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker may be bringing real-life products such as Doritos and Mountain Dew into video games, but manufacturer UNIQLO are planning on bringing video games into real-life

This set of exclusive Peace Walker themed shirts will be available from April 26th. However, if you head to the UNIQLO store on London's Oxford Street on June 19th, Hideo Kojima and <span>lead artist..

With Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker wrapped up and out of the way (sort of ), video games mastermind Hideo Kojima appears to have turned his attention to a new project

One featuring mechs. "I'm thinking about the casting for my next title," Kojima Tweeted, as translated by Andriasang. "The project plan still hasn't reached a detailed level, but everything is advancing..

There's a new Castlevania game coming out

It's called Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow. It would probably be pretty cool with the Playstation Move, but ultimately developers MercurySteam "decided against" using Sony's new motion controller. This information comes via a Tweet from producer David Cox: "No we aren’t using the Playstation Move in this game. We did look at it but decided..

Awesome

Konami's announced that they are set to bring an updated version of their Eighties arcade smash Rush'n Attack to the Playstation Network - with Rush'n Attack: Ex Patriot. Ex Patriot's got a 2.5D look to proceedings with a typically Eighties-esque cold war plot taking you through three different environments. The game's in development at Czech studio Vatra Games and is due out this Fall..

Here's a screenshot for Konami's upcoming SAW: The Video Game 2

It's most surprising not because it looks particularly unpleasant, but because we had no idea there was another game in the works. The first one had some clever ideas, so we're quite excited by the prospect of an improved version of that.</em>

The last Playstation 3 Silent Hill title, Homecoming, was a bit of a disappointment

But since, the PS2/PSP Silent Hill release, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, has corrected any wrong-doings. The franchise reboot focused on tension, thrills and psychology rather than Homecoming's action - something we hope will carry forward into the next Silent Hill. There are basically no details as of yet,..

Big games demand big attention, and in all honesty, there's nothing bigger on the PSP this year than Kojima Production's Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Hence, American retailer are going whole hog with a specially crafted bundle for the game. The "Big Boss" bundle - which will be sold exclusively at US retailer GameStop in addition to the previously announced "Spirited Green"..

We're getting the distinct impression that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker's going to be a rather large game

Well, it's going to have to be anyway. Up to this point we've seen about an hour's worth of footage from the game through continuous trailer releases from Kojima Productions. Here's another 8-minute epic from them. Talk about mindshare.

Mountain Dew's not the only product placement in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker; players will happen upon Doritos, Pepsi Nex, Axe Deodrant, Sony Walkman, Famitsu and Dengeki magazines and Uniqlo t-shirts

Well this is an odd one

We liked Uncharted 2: Among Thieves because it was the best game of 2009. The gameplay mechanics, stunning visuals and fabulous scripting, pacing and voice acting were all key components for its success. Many hail Uncharted 2 as one of the best games this generation - but for some reason, in an interview with PSM3 magazine, Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow's producer has felt..

Kojima Productions' released yet another video for their upcoming Playstation Portable title, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

This trailer details the game's pretty expansive cast. Man, the game looks amazing for a PSP title. Kojima announced this morning that Peace Walker would feature Monster Hunter crossover content.

Speaking during this morning's Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker conference (which resulted in the announcement of a Monster Hunter collaboration), Kojima made a prediction that console gaming as we know it will be "phased out in the near future"

The Kojima Productions man predicted that console gamers should have their fix "on the go" in the future, perhaps a reaction to the current gaming..

We told you this morning about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker's crossover content with Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise

The results look a bit like this, thanks to screens released by Famitsu. Yeah - we know, it looks awesome.</em>
