Great list. The following has me slightly aroused, since I had managed to hide the idea completely:

Monster Hunter PSP online at last through PS3

What the fuck? Kojima bags on FPS games all the time. And hell, he can't even play FPS games without getting motion sickness.

That rumor is BS.

But he also said the reason he made Metal Gear's camera the way it was (bird's eye view) for the longest time was to combat Motion Sickness, and MGS3:S and MGS4 both have standard third person camera angles.

Talking in a commercial sense.

MGS4 sold more than MGS3, despite PS2 having far greater numbers.

It's more about active userbase than raw numbers.

Also, Team ICO has progressively done better as they've released projects.

Touche. Forgot about what I call the "CW/WB rule" of demographics.

Wow @ new DMC-like Strider game.


Secret game probably isn't Zelda - but that doesn't matter, cause I'm sure Zelda is still being made for 2009 or 2010.

Awesome, I don't think it'd be an FPS per se. Maybe a game with FPS elements, didn't he say his next game would be completely different? Somehow I don't think that'd be an FPS.

Kojima wants to make a shooter and he's talking to Treyarch?

FUCKING TREYARCH?

You look at the glass and see it 1/3 empty, I look at it and see it 2/3 full ;)

So its safe for me to assume that the cover story on RE5 is just a giant logo that says Resident Evil 5 with absolutly no info. Cause thats the only reason I can come up with as to why there is no sum up of the most important cover story of the year.

A sundial is a time keeping device. So is a watch.

Manhattan + Watch = Watchmen game.

LucasArts hands Rogue Squadron rights to a new publisher for a rerelease with wii controls?

I'm surprised no one has made the connection to the "Lets Play on Wii" series.

I think the Mercs 2 review was fair. It was a surprisingly good time, I had a much better "open world" experience with it, moreso than GTA4.

I won't say Mercs 2 was a good game, because it wasn't. But I will agree I had more fun playing it than the stiff GTA IV.

Any guesses? Mielke just posted this:

In the current issue of EGM (November cover date, Resident Evil 5 on the cover), our 'Next Month' page has a picture of a sundial resting in a gothic-looking garden. The sundial points to a specific time. There are other slight clues in the editorial, and there are some red herrings as well. Here, to help in your quest, are some blurred-out layers taken from our eventual cover image. Can you guess what the secret cover is? If so, send me a private message via 1UP, and I'll select the first correct answer that also tells me WHY you think the cover is what it is. Have fun guessing, and I'll be back next week to report on stuff from Tokyo Game Show!

I'd copy the images but they're huge. Here are the links:

Looks like a blurred silhouette of some dude holding a night stick. Kinda bum looking, maybe Splinter Cell Convictions big rereveal or maybe Alan Wake?

I have no idea how all of you people think a sundial represents Team ICO but w/e. I have a feeling you guys are gonna be sourly disappointed.

The image does look like someone leaping somewhere with his knees bent, right arm outstretched, and his left hand behind him holding some kind of staff.

Girl with the Stick?

Nah

Good: Solid controls, addictive leveling system, amazing re-creation of LA
Bad: inconsistent difficulty, some visual glitches and framerate

The visual glitches will hopefully be fixed. Was the review copy not the final code?

And who reviewed the game for EGM, anyways?
