Retro Review: Life Force (NES)
30 Lives, Excessive Force Release Date: August 1988 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami There is a term I bring up whenever I hear someone raised on Xbox and PlayStation complain about the difficulty of a game nowadays. My daughter is one who has complained as such. My response to her is the same as it is to anyone who never played a game on a system older than the Nintendo 64. There are three kin...[Read More]
Retro Review: Castlevania Bloodlines (GEN)
Release Date: March 17, 1994 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami Sorry for not posting anything recently. You know, life and such. I touched on this subject once before with my review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist for the Genesis, but it’s worth repeating again. Nintendo revived the video game market in the mid-to-late 80s. But while the NES was getting all the love from co...[Read More]
Retro Review: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Saturn)
Release Date: June 25, 1998 Developer: Konami Computer Entertainment Publisher: Konami For my first Halloween Retro Review, I decided ahead of time that I would look at a Castlevania game.

Metal Gear Survive Makes Me Wanna Lose It
Less than forty-eight hours ago, I wrote up an article stating that Konami had announced a brand new Metal Gear game sans Kojima-san. It’s called Metal Gear Survive and, based on the trailer, it’s a radical departure from the main canon. I noted as such on the article but did not pursue the thought further. It was past midnight, I was sleep-deprived, and I just wanted to get the article written up...[Read More]
Metal Gear Survive Teased by Konami
Wait…Konami was serious? Konami has announced Metal Gear Survive, the first game in the Metal Gear universe since Hideo Kojima was unceremoniously shoved out of the picture.

Konami is describing Metal Gear Survive as a...[Read More]
Dell Lists Metal Gear Solid V Definitive Edition on Website – I Think
Last month, Amazon listed then delisted Metal Gear Solid Definitive EX on its storefront. Dell currently has a similar listing on its online store for Metal Gear Solid V Definitive Edition, but the entry is suspect – even funny.
