A mixed bag of video gaming history this week. Open your books to page 1021 and face to the front of the class now.

When we first heard that Mike Nelson and some of the leftover guys from MST3K were going to be heckling video games, it seemed too good to true. And despite a teaser video being released of them yelling at Gears of War 3, much time has passed and we haven’t heard much in that department.
If you’ve been waiting to see what RiffTrax (comprised of guys leftover from Mystery Science Theater) would come up for other video games, you might be relieved to hear that they’ve released another video, which comes courtesy of Joystiq and features the boys up to all their usual antics — including questioning Continue reading “RiffTrax/MST3K Guys Heckle Mega Man, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy” »

Today at a Zone of The Enders event in Tokyo, Kojima Productions announced that it is working on a brand new Zone of The Enders project. MGS creator, Hideo Kojima helped launch the announcement for the new project temporarily dubbed “Enders Project.”

The tweet also mentioned that the game will not take place in a futuristic setting but in an ancient civilization instead, indicating the title is already in development.
