Konami hasn’t set a North American release for the Metal Gear Solid HD Edition for the PlayStation Vita yet, but that won’t stop me from posting this Japanese trailer for the game. Because who doesn’t like seeing MGS clips coupled with flashy animations and a Japanese voice over.
One of my favorite Battlefield 1942 maps has been ported to Battlefield 3—complete with a forklift?
Trine 2 is now available for PC and Mac and will be available for console platforms later this month.
PETA added another item to their list of “WTF moments” by setting their sights on Mario and his Tanooki suit.
According to PETA, Mario promotes the wearing of fur by donning his iconic Tanooki suit. On their site, PETA claims that “Tanooki may be just a ‘suit’ in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By wearing Tanooki, Mario is sending the message that it’s OK to wear fur.” Continue Reading

In an interview with Weekly Play News, video game mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto said he plays games for up to ten hours a day.
Miyamoto plays the games at Nintendo headquarters as a part of his job. While he plays them he is constantly writing down his opinions about the game to give to the director. Recently Miyamoto has been working on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, playing it for up to ten hours a day and only stopping for meetings.
Miyamoto said he sometimes plays up to seven games at a time, though he usually focuses on three games a year.
I’m pretty sure most people who read this will immediately be jealous of his job. I guess it’s just one of the perks of being one of the best game developers ever, eh?

Find out what life used to be like in Constantinople.
And don’t forget. The city is called Istanbul now, not Constantinople. I don’t really know why they changed the name, but I am pretty sure it had to do with people just liking it better that way.
In an interview on Wired.com, Skyrim director Todd Howard talked about the game’s Radiant quest system.
The Radiant quests system creates an unlimited number of quests based on your current progression in the game. The player may be sent to kill a monster in an unexplored area of the world or be asked to collect a rare plant. These quests are randomly generated and the player will never run out. The new questing system will also allow players to obtain unlimited quests from each of the game’s factions. After you complete the core quests for a specific faction, random quests will be generated indefinitely.
This system gives players a chance to explore the massive world of Skyrim with an objective. “The world is probably the one thing that sets [Skyrim] apart from other games,” said Howard, “It feels really real for what it is… It’s just fun to explore.”
So if you were worried about running out of things to do in Skyrim, you should feel a lot better. Because, you know, you can play the game forever.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will hit shelves November 11, 2011.
