Welcome (back) to the jungle A new recruitment video from studio Virtuos has sparked internet whispers that the global game developer has started work on a newMetal Gear Solidproject. The rumors circulated this weekend after “clues” were spotted in the presentation, which was designed to spotlight the studio’s Montreal team. While speaking with one of Virtuos’ key concepts artists, Louis-Alex Boismenu, the hefty (and highly recommended) tome “TheArt of Metal Gear Solid” is placed tantalizingly in shot, with the book seemingly being used to prop up Boismenu’s desk lamp....

Best Buy paints a target on Target You can grab a Vita for$200 at Targetthis week. However, if their store runs dry or if you have some weird brand loyalty — maybe some gonzo membership points system of some kind — you can pick up the Vita at Best Buy, too, for the same price. Best Buy is selling both theWi-Fi onlyand3G/WiFimodels for $200, though I can’t find the latter anywhere in California....

XXxFnBLAZe1T420xXX We are on the precipice ofStreet Fighter V’srelaunch, under itsArcade Editionbanner. For many players, it is the opportunity for a fresh start, putting behind them the losses of yesterday and beginning a whole new journey for online glory. If, as part of this fresh start, you wish to change your online I.D, then that will be possible too.

Starting with Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron DICE is givingStar Wars Battlefrontanother shot in the arm with a new way to play the game offline. Beginning July 21, Skirmish mode will let players compete against bots alone (or with a partner in split-screen co-op on consoles) in the existing Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron game types. This is something fans have been demanding for months and months, and I have to assume more maps (Hoth and Sullust are confirmed so far) and modes will come in due time....

Nice moves, Puppy Link It’s Friday and you should all be gearing up for the weekend. I’m not the type who’s going to make you think a bunch when it’s the non-thinking part of the week. I’m not a monster. So, I just want you to use your eyeballs and look at these 16 pictures of theWolf Link amiibo. Easy enough, right? Just ogle it; take in its majestic nature. In fact, I’m so committed to you not thinking that I’m not even going to point out the Triforce on the base and how that likely indicates a dedicatedZeldaline sometime in the future....

I Wanna Talk About Me Todd“I just killed the ‘Skyrimon everything’ joke at E3 2018″Howard has some words to say about the Switch. Some of it is lip service, but given how Bethesda hasat leastput their money where their mouth is with three ports, it’s more poignant than the “will they won’t they” talk from a lot of other major publishers who generally shy away from Nintendo platforms. Speaking to Game Reactor, Howard said that he “loves” the Switch, and that “when Nintendo came to us we were one of the first people that they showed the Switch to....

When I grow up, I want to be one of the harvesters of the sea If golf is a great way to ruin a walk, fishing must therefore be the best way to ruin a perfectly good drowning. Traumatizing the most food-motivated creature on earth is a reasonably relaxing pastime, don’t get me wrong, but when I’d go out on the lake with my father, he’d always over-coach. I don’t even know how that’s possible, but that man found a way....

Conan O’Brien’s Clueless Gamer segments are some of my favorite pieces from his late night talk show. This time around, Capcom has graced him with an exclusive first look at the new demo forResident Evil 6. I gotta say, not only am I jealous he’s playing it early, but MAN, the game looks awesome. Conan actually fares pretty well despite not really knowing what he’s doing. He also thinks the backstory may be a bit too convoluted, but his remarks about the chairs justkills, and everyone loves a good zombie game....
