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.

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.

It's Even More Deathstroke Vs. The Dark Knight In The 'Batman: Arkham Origins' Teaser Trailer
Posted 5/16/13 12:20 pm EST by Charles Webb in News, PC, PS3, Video, Wii U, Xbox 360
They're really pushing the Slade/Batman conflict pretty hard with the marketing of "Arkham Origins," this October's prequel to Warner Brother's pair of "Arkham" games. Even if the initial announcement out of the publisher was that Black Mask would be the main heavy, one-eyed super assassin Deathstroke has been the one featured most prominently up to this point.
Which is weird, because he's better known for spending his time trying to murder the Teen Titans.
