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.

New No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise Screenshots to Charge Your Katana With

With Mr. Touchdown's debut on an HD console - the PS3 - comes a batch of screenshots for his big day. No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise is a port of the first original game from the Wii, with high-def graphics and uses the PlayStation Move controller. There was an Xbox 360 port as well for Japanese and European gamers, but it seems like only the PS3 version is being localized for North American fans, unfortunately. Check out the gallery below for five new screenshots sent to us by Konami, as well as a batch of screenshots previously released to tide your katanas over for a while.

No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise Announced for the PS3 Thumbnail

No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise Announced for the PS3

Today Konami announced that No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise will be making its debut on the PlayStation 3 in 2011. The title that was exclusive to the Wii is now making its way exclusively on the PS3 in beautiful HD. Heroes’ Paradise will also feature PlayStation Move support, which I assume will control much like the Wii version. No More Heroes is one of the best franchises on the Wii featuring over-the-top violence and corny lines. The main characters name, Travis Touchdown, and the way he’s holding that Beam Katana should tell you all you need to know about the game.

Is this a true sequel to the fantastic Castlevania games of old? Did MercurySteam and Kojima Productions do the series justice?
