Very few Japanese development companies have been able to match the level of critical success Platinum Games has achieved. Since they first formed after breaking away from Capcom in 2006, the company has produced six titles: MadWorld, Infinite Space, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Anarchy Reigns, and Metal…

Konami’s Japanese PR arm put up a few brand new Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailers yesterday. Chief among them were the cinematic trailer (that’s the one that sits above) and an extended gameplay trailer that focuses on weapons (find that one below). While the cinematic trailer…

It almost slipped past me, but we are smack dab in the middle of a good old fashioned genre rumble. Two classic companies have positioned their winter hack n’ slash games all primed up to compete with one another, and only time will tell who…

Konami continues to confuse us with more Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance screenshots. Watch as Metal Gear emo-kid Raiden leaps off missles, performs 3-point-landings and… watches crates fall. In one of the shots, it even looks like an enemy is clipping through the ubiquitous Metal Gear…

Over the weekend, a brand new trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Rising debuted during the Spike Video Game Awards show. You’ll see that full teaser above. One of the first things you’ll notice is probably the bombastic action and fighting style that operates totally outside of…

When this game’s debut trailer ran during E3 of 2010, the project was titled Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Now, with the trailer and assets (which you can see in the gallery at the base of this post) that came from the Spike Video Game Awards…
