A new Metal Gear game entitled Metal Gear Rising was just announced for the XBOX 360

Most interesting part of this - the word "exclusive" was not mentioned at all. Expect Hideo Kojima to show up at Sony's E3 conference tomorrow.

The Kojima Productions website is still updating

But it's E3 this week, and it's unlikely to update many more times. We're going to hear something folks. Kojima is going to make an announcement of some kind. And that means we get to stop posting about these ridiculous countdowns. Today's post may be the last, it may be the penultimate, but either way - the clouds have parted. The sun is shining at..

Kojima has an announcement coming

He's probably running one of the most closely followed "viral marketing hype super-duper" campaigns (they taught us about these in Business Studies!) ever. The weather in the main teaser is worsening. An image of Raiden keeps popping up - but is it Raiden? It kinda looks like Sunny. And now just to top it all off, a NEW Flash video has been spotted with..

Another day, the end of another countdown over on Kojima's now infamous webpage

There's one thing to be said for Kojima Productions - they know how to create hype. The latest update sports, well, another countdown, but this time placed upon the face of Big Boss. He's looking somewhat older than he did in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater we'd like to mention. Rather confusing matters slightly, a..

Here's your first image of Kojima's next game

In typical style, it's blacked out, and raises more questions than it answers. There's nothing much else for us to say, aside from the fact it was printed in an, ahem, Playstation magazine. So that's Famitsu's Playstation mag and a British Playstation mag talking about Kojima now. Ahem. Oh God! We can't bare the tension.

So, there you have

There's another Metal Gear game on the way. And it's coming to a Playstation platform; be it PS3 or PSP. A listing on the 7-Eleven product database confirms that the May 30th issue of Famitsu PS3+PSP will feature details on the "Next Metal Gear". Presumably playing into the Kojima's countdown shenanigans, we're going to call Metal Gear: Raiden right here, right now..

Zombie Apocalypse is Konami's latest nod to the argument that video games are relying on the old fashioned zombie a little too much

Once a rarity in video games, the Resident Evil effect has since decided that virtually every game is worthy of their own seperate zombie section. Cue Konami's take on the zombie in Zombie Apocalypse, a PSN shooter akin to Smash TV.  The downloadable title includes..

Remember that Kojima announcement that was supposed to happen today? Well, it was a countdown

Five different countdowns to be precise. The last of which leads to an announcement on June 1st. Which incidentally is Microsoft's E3 conference - possible coincedence? We're not sure; let's face it, it wouldn't be the first time Sony literally allowed their closest rival to snatch away the exclusivity of..

Hey, Hideo Kojima is about to make an announcement

He's even put an advert in Japanese Bible Famitsu announcing an... announcement. Naturally the Internet had gone crazy claiming to see pictures of Wii Remotes, XBOX controllers and Solid Snake in the clouds. Us? We don't want to speculate. We really hope it's a new Metal Gear or Zone Of The Enders on the PS3 but - to be honest it really could be..

What better way to spend your time in Metal Gear Online than racing

The race mission will have two teams running through checkpoints after tracking down their frog and duck KEROTAN and GA-KO items (seriously!). Presumably the match is won by the team who passes through enough checkpoints mascot in hand. It's a pretty novel mode for a shooter. The Patriot perk will also be offered to the week's best..

When we play World War II games we often think: "hey this is a bit weird, glamorising a war that many people died in"

It's hardly man-kinds finest hour is it? While shooters are indefinitely fun, we can't help but feel mimicking real-life scenarios with recharging health bars and respawn points is a bit... Dumb. Alas, Konami's recently announced Six Days In Fallujah was one such game that sparked..

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has been labelled ‘Most Valuable Person’ during the 2008 Famitsu Awards in Tokyo today

According to a snippet from Developmag, the award honours "the person who has contributed to the growth of the games industry, not limited to developers". In other words Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots was really, really bloody good. Old Snake took the award..

A quick heads up for our Japanese readers, if you haven't played MGS4: GOTP yet, you can now get the priveledge for much cheaper

¥3,990 to be precise. What's stopping you Japanese gamers. Pick up this fine piece of game now.

The last Zone Of The Enders game came six years ago and has developed quite a cult following ever since

Always living in the shadow of Hideo Kojima's "other" franchise, Metal Gear Solid, Kojima wants to know if fans are ready for more Z.O.E. While nothing is guaranteed yet, fan reaction has been through the roof for a new Z.O.E., something we're sure Kojima-san has been keeping his eye..

Hideo Kojima sure can't shut up about Western games/developers

We reckon he's spent a bit too much time reaching prestige mode in CoD4. And naturally as someone so obsessed with Western games, Kojima wants to produce one."I'm not sure when this will happen, but yes, I'm very interested," adding, "There are many development companies outside of Japan working with Konami, and I believe..

Did anyone really belive that Metal Gear Solid 4 was going to be series mastermind Kojima's last? We didn't

It seems we were right to doubt him too. Snake may be gone, but Raiden lives, and while there is a subprotagonist, there are always sequels to be made. Cue: Kojima's "Mission: The Next MGS" and a tiny picture of Raiden in the corner. Announcement will be made at E3. We're most..

Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind the Metal Gear Solid series, has made an announcement regarding his next video game

That announcement is: to be announced at E3. That's right, Hideo Kojima has announced an announcement. There are few egos that could pull off such a stunt but, well, Hideo just about gets away with it. He also talked a little about himself, claiming he's not the big "action..

Noby Noby Boy might be getting offline multiplayer

According to the official website anyway. The teaser image, which shows BOY declaring "I want to play Multi-BOY" could mean anything, after all, we were at loss describing the game for our review. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Another game given away by a job description page

Konami are looking for people to help with "new developments" in the Metal Gear series, specifically for home consoles. Are you ready for a new Metal Gear game, readers?
