Re-Mastering Metal Gear Solid: A Wish List

The interweb is a-buzz this week with rumors of a remastered Metal Gear Solid pack featuring the first three games of the series, currently in the works for the PlayStation 3. Being a humongous fan of the series since its re-emergence on the original PlayStation, and having just had earnest discussions about a potential remastery, this news struck many delicious chords in my gamer-soul. I love re-playing classic games, but living in an HD world makes it painful to do so. Games also feels very different from when returning to them years later, and advances in controls and technology often render the old ways obsolete. With all this is mind, I decided to lay out what I, personally, would love to see from this remastery of a pack of masterful games.

More Details on Sony’s PSP2, Phone Abilities Nixed

Phone capabilities are out of the question for the new PSP2. More details leak on Sony’s advancement of the portable series.

Every Kratos Kill Ever: Ghost of Sparta

Ghost of Sparta marks the second outing of Kratos on the small screen, and despite its miniature status, it packs a wallop in terms of sheer quality, both in gameplay and storytelling. Timeline-wise, it's set between the first God of War and God of War II. Ares is dead, and Kratos is out looking for answers. His dreams haunt him, telling him he needs to find his long-lost brother Deimos. To do this, he returns to areas from his past, finding (and killing!) his mother and even brashly striding through the streets of Sparta as the new god of war. Spoilers, be warned!

Review: Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood!

Dooooooooooooooood. There, I got it out of the way. That’s honestly the only time you’ll see the famed Disgaea slang in this entire review, I promise (except for the title, mind you). There are plenty of other slang terms I’d love to use to describe Prinny 2’s unforgiving difficulty, but I’ll avoid doing so to keep your virgin eyes untainted. Prinny 2 is as ridiculous as its subtitle alludes, as the Prinnies find themselves entangled in a sinister panty-theft. Etna, current lord of the underworld has lost her coveted pair of underoos to a mysterious visitor obsessed with collecting rare items. Etna tasks the exploding penguin-esque creatures with her underwear recovery, lest they want to end up blowing to pieces. If you aren’t familiar with the humor of the Disgaea franchise, the barrage of Disgaea jokes aren’t going to have any effect on your boring self. However, if you’ve ever delved into the twisted world of Disgaea, you’ll know this is just another day in the life of a Prinny and what a day indeed.

PlayStation Store Update: December 21, 2025

Sony has a huge update to celebrate Christmas, it seems, with plenty of titles on sale, along with some goodies (and exclusive sales) for PlayStation Plus members. You can snag Valkyria Chronicles 2 for only $15.99, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for $9.99 (even less if you have PlayStation Plus), or Shank for $9.99, just to name a few. Some of these price drops are permanent, some are for this week only, but definitely a few good deals to be had. I know I may finally pick up Blue Toad Murder Files, as the complete set is now just $15.

If that isn't enough, you can try out the Mass Effect 2 demo, or get the full copy of Borderlands. Or if you're looking for a laugh, try Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, now available for the first time for PS3. This week also sees the release of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones and echochrome ii, not to mention more demos for Dead Space 2 and LBP2. Certainly plenty to keep you busy over the next week or so.

Hit the break for the full list of releases, updates, and price drops.
