This is the first time I even stuck my toe into these waters," Zimmer tells USA Today.

2008 was a good year for Konami — you could say it was solid. This year isn't so solid. Metal Gear Solid IV was released worldwide on June 12, 2008. Even with the steep drop off, Konami does expect some sales growth during this fiscal year. Konami projects 22.5% six-month sales slip [GameSpot]

Kojima, who I'd wager aligns himself with Team Jacob, is reportedly a "huge fan" of Twilight, according to the Anime News Network's translation of the release. He'll contribute his expert opinion as well as a signed copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, apparently, to the list o...
In video games, senior citizens are largely stereotyped NPCs. Rare is the kind of game like Metal Gear Solid 4, with a truly aged, playable protagonist. Can games create more roles for the elderly? Should they? Ah, to be OId and Fragging: Roles for the Elderly in Video Games [GameCritics, Oc...

There has to be a reason, no? Metal Gear Solid designer Hideo Kojima could have put the game on home consoles, but he chose portables. Here's at least one reason why: In an interview with Famitsu, Kojima told Assassin's Creed II developer Pierre and Pierre's beard:
But I don't lose my sense of enjoyment," he insisted. "The thing here is I love the games I work on. I love the Grand Theft Auto games. I love getting my hooks in and working on it." Writing Walkthroughs For Minor Profit When you get down to it," he says, "we're gonna play the video games anyway."
Responding to suggestions from Kotaku that Waypoint's gameplay could involve anything from a Halo character running through the Waypoint hub to an interactive Halo timeline filled with secrets, a la the PlayStation 3's Metal Gear Solid Database, Pace said, "My answer to that is that b...
To review, here are the previous 40/40 games: So no games in 2001, 2002, 2004 or 2007 got a 40/40, but three games in 2008 and three games in 2009 have? Either Famitsu thinks games are getting better or is giving out more perfect scores. Discuss!
Just like Superman! Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is bringing X-ray vision to the franchise, because nothing quite says stealth like peeking through clothes.
Is Metal Gear Solid English voice actor mainstay returning for upcoming PSP title, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker? Is he? In the latest Kojima Productions Report, the MGS PW voice cast has been announced. It is: And like that, David Hayter is back for more gravelly gravel gruffing. Haaaaaaa...
• BALLOON FIGHT (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1985: 18 years older than Falcon Henne): Of course, the first game that leaps to mind. Balloon Fight was a Joust-type setup that pit you against other balloon-harnessed foes in midair combat. Pop or be popped was the name of the game; a single...
Hideo Kojima might be making Metal Gear Solid games right now, but he's made other games in the past. Games like Zone of the Enders. But when will we get that game? Oh, and Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear Solid anymore. Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear Solid anymore. Kojima-...
Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has something up his sleeve. We believe it's his arm. But he does tell Japanese game magazine that he has a surprise in store for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. The game's script is as thick as Metal Gear Solid 4's. But there's something else Kojima has in st...
On his blog, Hideo Kojima found a tie-in, albeit a tenuous one, between his upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to President Obama yesterday. Here's what the eminent games designer had to say: ノーベル平和賞 [Kojima Productions via Go Nintendo]

Not like Mario Kart and F-Zero did with Parallax scrolling. Or Mario 64 with its use of 3D. Or Grand Theft Auto III with its living, breathing city. Those games re-wrote the book. You just couldn't do GTAIII on the PlayStation. Or Mario 64 on the SNES. They were true "next gen" games.

One last bit from Kotaku's Hideo Kojima interview of last week. The gentleman asking questions for Kotaku Japan asked Kojima about remaking the original Metal Gear. Too busy, the developer said. But... So, Kotaku, which non-Japanese studio would you like to see re-make the original Metal Gea...

Kojima Productions knows how to put together some informative literature, as you might be able to gather from perusing the TGS Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker promo book yourself. It's brief, but big—about 14" by 10" when folded. Plus, it's pretty too look at, with snazzy artwork from Metal...

On day one of the Tokyo Game Show's public days, the cosplayers came out in full force, repping multiple Final Fantasys, The King of Fighters, Metal Gear Solid and various Nintendo games. Even a few non-traditional cosplay franchises, like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, Skies of Arcadeia a...

I may have rolled my eyes when Konami's Hideo Kojima started telling the press this past summer that the 2010 PSP game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was going to be a significant enough Metal Gear game to be considered the successor to the PlayStation 3's Metal Gear Solid 4.
Final Fantasy XIII, on the other hand, is sitting pretty a 90%. Other notable games listed are: Okamiden: 25% Lost Planet 2: 70% Yakuza 4: 65% The Last Guardian: ? Crackdown 2: ? Alan Wake: ? Halo Reach: ? Final Fantasy XIV: 50% Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker: 50% God of War III: 60%

Game designer Hideo Kojima and his Kojima Productions team are hard at work on PSP title Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. Due out in 2010, Peace Walker takes place 10 years after Metal Gear Solid 3, chronicling the rise of Outer Heaven in Costa Rica. The game is not a side story or spin-off, but a f...
Characters include two versions of Old Snake, Raiden, Liquid Ocelot, Otacon and the exclamation mark. Voice samples include Old Snake saying "This is Snake. Can you hear me?" The exclamation mark, of course, makes the MGS exclamation mark noise — something to annoy your friends with! End...
In the grand scheme of violence in video games, it's not graphic. It's actually similar to what happens to Snake in the first Metal Gear Solid when Revolver Ocelot has him strapped spread-eagle style and shocks him (as the player, you press buttons to Resist or Submit — Submitting kills Mer...
Because it looks like Konami will be offering demo kiosks for attendees as well as making the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo downloadable. A perfect time killer, should Konami offer a theater demonstration or behind closed doors trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Not saying they a...
There's a device in the Metal Gear Solid stealth series in which Snake can sneak past guards by simply covering himself in a cardboard box. This isn't just a game convention. It apparently really works. In France, at least.

Europe's budget line for PlayStation 3 games, the Platinum range, last week expanded by four titles, each going for £20 (€30). Strangely, they all seem to be using the old box format and old PS3 logo. Before you say anything, yes, we know Metal Gear Solid 4 has been out in select PAL territorie...

We're hoping to be given more details on Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid: Rising and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, but hoping a little harder to heard more about Castlevania: Lord of Shadows. But Konami has more than just Metal Gear in its E3 lineup, so brace for lots of talking about...

Lots of games came out last year in Japan. Lots of games means lots of games for Japanese magazine Famitsu to review. Here are the best PS3 games of 2008 according to Famitsu. Games are rated by four Famitsu critics on a scale of 1-10. Those scores are then tallied.

What did you gain from the Kojima Productions experience? How did you change? Is there something that you wish you could've done at Kojima Productions, but didn't? This is a big loss for Kojima and his team. And a big gain for whomever hires him! Funny, that.

For Metal Solid 4, Sony has system seller expectations! Many current PS3 owners are already planning on purchasing MGS4, but Sony is also hoping that the PS3 exclusive will move consoles. No doubt it will, but how many? Obviously, we won't know that until the post-launch retail data comes...
• Metal Gear Solid 4 is, in most senses, the biggest Metal Gear yet. But the best? Maybe not. If the super-slick thriller of the first Metal Gear Solid remains Kojima's masterpiece, then this operatic monster is his magnum opus. Metal Gear Solid 4 Review [Eurogamer]

Calling down the thunder of Final Fantasy XI, Metal Gear Solid 4, what-have-you, that's well and good. I'm sure those will be greatly impactful to the final health of the PlayStation 3.

Oh, but sell they did, and when games sell, you make more of them. "But I have kept making Metal Gear games", he says. "When I look back, while it looks like the same game, I've been adding new features and using new technology each time, so it's never felt like I've been making the same game."
