They might look like regular people, but their gaming skills are anything but. They’re superplayers. They take gaming as far as it can physically go. More »
Geekologie’s found that if you log into facebook, type in the Konami code outside of a text box and hit enter, the site fills with Star Trek ish lens flares. [Geekologie]
While Konami’s announcement of Metal Gear Solid for the iPhone is tough to be topped, the company will also be releasing a few of their other big franchises as well, including Silent Hill and DDR.
In the US at least, Sony and Konami will be celebrating the June launch of Metal Gear Solid 4 “Guns of the Patriots” with a special steel coloured edition of the PlayStation 3. Dare we say “gunmetal grey” colour? Yes, I think we dare. It’ll be a limited edition, but both the 40GB PS3 and a single matching DualShock controller will be available in a premium package for US$520. [Kotaku and AV Watch]
We’ve told you about something similar to the 12-in-1 Konami arcade cabinet before, but this is Konami’s first appearance on Giz. Featuring (you guessed it) 12 classic Konami games—Frogger, Green Beret, Blades of Steel, Contra, Gyruss, Castlevania, Hyper Sports, Time Pilot ’84, Shao-Lins Road, Jungler, Scramble and Super Basketball—its slightly smaller stature will make for snugger play, and its 15″ screen will be smaller than many classic machines you are used to. But for a reduced price, it would make a fantastic gift under the tree…
For a limited time you can pick up the Konami arcade cabinet for a sweet $US320. From Linens ‘n Things, enter “NOV2907″ at checkout and save 20% on the system that often runs $400 and up…if you can still find one around. Either the cabinets have been a hot commodity or they’re being discontinued. Either way, we think that the machine looks a lot more tempting for around $300 than it did at $400.
