Kojima talks MGS4, MGS5 and beyond.

For a man who has previously been misquoted (and mistranslated), who apparently understands the importance of being careful with what you tell the internet – Kojima is surprisingly candid in his latest interview with gaming site 1Up.com. The interview is mainly focused behind the scenes of Metal Gear Solid 4, but does sway onto the topic of MGS5, and the involvement Kojima would hope to have on the project.

I have three concepts for MGS5 already. What would be ideal for me with MGS5, though, is that we don’t do those. If the team picks one of those concepts, I have to get involved again, which I don’t want to do.

You’ve never seen a bartop arcade like this.

Okay, now this is just too awesome. It’s an idea that I’m sure every arcade builder, myself included, has toyed around with – but it took brave byoac forum member Burke LaShell to achieve Nirvana and create this perfect, simple and stylish Bar Arcade machine.

A pitfall when creating arcade machines is the urge to create as much from scratch as possible, and over complicate things. This often leads to messy and uneven workmanship and a less than perfect appearance. Burke’s MAME Bar avoids the pitfall by taking a stealth approach to arcade design – if Burke didn’t want you to know there was an arcade machine in his bar, you wouldn’t. 

Fallout 1, free – play this game now

Gametap, an online subscription based video game service has added another game to their free lineup – and given the timing, this is one you really should not miss.

One of the better games released in the last 15 years, Fallout is a post apocalyptic RPG allowing the player absolute freedom over their character and what direction the adventure takes. Basically, everything Bethesda have promised for Fallout 3 is here, so don’t let it’s age put you off.

If you have not played this game, and have access to a PC – do yourself a favour and download it. Sure it’ll take a bit of your time and effort to navigate your way through GameTap, but this is a great opportunity to psych yourself up for Fallout 3.
