Weekly Stealth Update?

I'm thinking that a weekly podcast about the stealthy videogames news of the week is probably not the best way to expose this information. So instead I'm going to try a weekly update in which I lightly cover all the stealthy news of the week in one blog post.

We have some release date delays this week, along with an absurd amount of videos, and a videogame that's been turned into a board game.

Metal Gear Solid HD Edition Screenshot Comparison

Metal Gear Solid HD Edition will include Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. It will be available on PS3 and Xbox 360. While the resolution is being increased considerably the textures don't seem to be getting any improvements. That's all right for MGS 2 and MGS 3, but MGS: Peace Walker is a PSP game and the end result is not pretty.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Sneaks Into E3 With This Trailer

E3 hasn't even officially started yet and we're all ready seeing some amazing news come out it. For example, this new MGS: Snake Eater 3D trailer which shows off the convenient touch screen inventory as well as the ability to take pictures in the real world using the Nintendo 3D's camera and use the image as a camouflage pattern. Watch it till the end for a little surprise.

Kojima Announces Fox Engine, Multiplatform Development

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker May Be Coming To PS3

With Sony's recent announcement of their PSP Remaster Series, many have been speculating what games will come to this new remakes program. For stealth fans, we can only hope that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is among those remakes.

Arguably News: Batman: Arkham City Map, Modern War Gear, Grey Fox

Konami Bringing Peace Walker Clothing Into The Real World

For whatever reason, Konami or maybe just Kojima Productions really likes Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. So much so that a year after its release, Konami will be launching a line of Peace Walker branded clothing.

Play For Japan Gets Stealthy

Play For Japan is a website created to help raise money for the relief efforts after Japan was hit by the recent earthquake and tsunami. The website is a collection of auctions that will go towards helping Japan get back on it's feet after this terrible disaster.

As many of you know, Japan is the place where many of our favorite games come from. If it wasn't for Japan we wouldn't have the games industry we have today, and we wouldn't have games like Metal Gear Solid and Tenchu, that stealth players like us love so much. If you can afford some of these auctions (like the insane number of Metal Gear Solid auctions or this piece of Batman: Arkham Asylum art) please take the time to bid, and if you can't afford them then just donate what you can here. Every little bit does count in a crisis like this.
