Snake In A Box: Konami Dates 'Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection' For July
Posted 5/19/13 4:00 pm EST by Charles Webb in News, PS3, Video
The seven-game collection is headed to the PS3 in July, according to an announcement this weekend from publisher Konami. Sure, a lot of these titles have already had solid re-releases in the (very) recent past--specifically "MGS 2," "3," and "Peace Walker"--but now they're being bundled together with 1998's "Metal Gear Solid" for the PSOne alongside a 100-page art book.
Konami's not going the delicious, velvet-lined opulence route for the franchise's 25th anniversary the way Capcom did, but this will be a nice way to get all of the current and previous generation "Metal Gear Solid" games in one place.

Dracula Bites Back: MercurySteam Boss Dave Cox On 'Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror Of Fate' And 'Lords of Shadow 2'
Posted 3/8/13 1:25 pm EST by Charles Webb in 3DS / DS, Interviews
When I reviewed "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate" earlier this week, I warned fans of the side-scrolling "Castlevania" games of recent years that they shouldn't come in expecting the huge amount of exploration found in post-"Symphony of the Night" 2D titles in the franchise. That was deliberate, MercurySteam boss and "Mirror of Fate" producer Dave Cox told me, citing "Dracula's Curse" as his team's main point of influence.
MercurySteam have their heads down now developing "Lords of Shadow 2"--what Cox promises will be the U.K. studio's last "Castlevania game, so we talked a bit about shepherding the franchise through a new continuity, going back in time over and over with Trevor, Simon, and Alucard, and the next-gen ambitions of "Lords of Shadow 2."
