This Excellent Naked Snake Cosplay From 'Metal Gear Solid 3' Won't Stay Hidden For Long

Posted 5/14/13 11:15 am EST by Charles Webb in Cosplay

A little late to the party but this expertly-crafted cosplay is by DeviantArt user Rick Boer aka *RBF Productions.

Boer, a teacher and biology student based in the Netherlands, wanted to pay homage to Naked Snake, the sneaky hero of "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" through a collection of images which is impressive in the level of character detail.

Snake's not the only stealth character to grab Boer's attention: his Connor and Altair cosplay from the "Assassin's Creed" series is equally impressive.

Diving for treasure, lush, verdant jungles, and buildings--tall buildings from which to leap and bound! "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" is starting to look a lot like an "Assassin's Creed" game with pirates.

New Video Game Releases For The Week of 3/19: Only George Can Judge Me

Posted 3/19/13 10:00 am EST by Charles Webb in 3DS / DS, PC, PS Vita, PS3, Video, Wii U, Xbox 360

"Gears of War" comes to an end, while TT Games opens up an entire city to LEGO mayhem. Also: George Washington continues to be tyrannical over in "Assassin's Creed 3," but you might not care since you'll be sinking all of your time in the new "Monster Hunter" remake/port for the Wii U and 3DS.

A Bunch Of Games On Demand Titles Will Be On Sale This Week On Xbox LIVE

Posted 2/25/13 10:25 am EST by Charles Webb in Sales, Xbox 360

A selection of new and old (mostly old) titles will be getting discounted daily through March 4 on Xbox LIVE, starting this Tuesday. According to a post on Major Nelson's blog, the discounts can run anywhere from 75-85% off, although based on the way it's phrased in his original post, I imagine some of the discounts will be lower.

Keep in mind, that's a discount off of the $59.99 price, meaning you might be getting "Assassin's Creed 2" for somewhere in the ballpark of $15 (assuming you haven't picked up a retail copy from one of the many, many sales since its release). Outside of "Borderlands 2," most of the titles are from two or more years ago, but if Xbox LIVE does a basement discount thing on some of these, it might be worth grabbing some recent-ish oldies.
