The Music of Peace... Live!

Donna Burke is the talented singer/actress who performs "Heaven's Divide" for Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. Every MGS game before has had a gorgeous, vocal melody which encaptures the characters and plot of the title. I can still remember completing the original MGS with a great sense of accomplishment, excitement and emotion. Then the credits would roll and the beautiful song "The Best Is Yet to Come", would play. Much like it's unexpected fantastic plot and memorable characters, the gorgeous finale song made the game even more amazing. Oh, the glorious memories.

Today, "Heaven's Divide" is MGS latest memorable melody. Below, is Donna's performance of the song live. It was performed during the game's "completion ceremony" press conference in Tokyo, Japan. It is spectacular.

The MGS Peace Walker Bundle Movie Revealed

When the Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker bundle was announced some time ago, it was mentioned that a movie was going to be included. Looking around at Amazon.ca, I can 100% confirm what the mystery film is. Prepare to be blown away!

Roland Emmerich's 2012

Sweet! I enjoyed 2012, thought it was a great ride. It stars John Cusack, Oliver Platt, Woody Harrison and Danny Glover as they battle to survive the elements as the world ENDS! Dun! Dun! DUUUNNNNNN!!!! ;) Honestly, it's fun stuff.

In the U.S., it'll be available as a downloadable movie voucher from the PSN Store. Up here in The Great White North, that's Canada dawgs! We will be receiving it as a UMD disc. No problem. It'll save room on our memory stick duo's for games. ;)

I also recommend rounding out your MGS package with the following -

Step 1 - Download the awesome Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy fan film.

Step 2 - Head over to PSP Video Converter, download this fantastic free program and convert Philanthropy for your PSP.

Step 3 - Slap that baby onto your memory stick duo. Then...

Step 4 - SHAZAM! Your ready to rock your PSP with more awesome Snake goodness!

The Only Fan Film You Need To See. A MGS One!

"...It’s awesome. I felt like crying for their love towards Metal Gear. It’s also a well made movie. I can’t wait to see the next part." - Hideo Kojima / The Man, The King, The Legendary Creator of The Metal Gear Series

Those words were written from Hideo Kojima himself about the fan film Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy. The flick is awesome. An amazing accomplishment that not only respects the source material but is a hell of a great viewing experience. There's action, a neat plot and some great Snake dialogue. Go download it for free and watch it again and again.

The PS3 Move Only Does Everything

...The reception from journalists, as well as gamers, has totally overwhelmed us! We also found ourselves in the middle of the rising motion gaming discussion as many of the stories call out that our game already does what Natal is trying for: Kung-Fu Live uses full-body skeleton tracking to track the player’s moves in real-time. Thus, people have been saying that our game and tech using the PlayStation Eye is stealing the thunder from Natal. LOL! - Teemu Maki-Patola / CEO, Virtual Air Guitar Company via PS Blog

Wow! It looks like the PlayStation Move can do everything the Nintendo Wii and what Mcrosoft's upcoming Natal can do.

The PS3 ad campaign ain't lying. It only does everything!

Pumped Up For Peace Walker

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker is only weeks away. I am pumped up big time for it! To help pump all of you out there, I present to you via the magic of YouTube is G4TV's Icons Metal Gear Solid special.

Icons was a half hour of great television which provided a chunk of video game history about particular topics such as Pac-Man and Dragon's Lair. The program also featured interviews with legendary game developers. Obviously with the words "history" and "interviews" killed the fantastic show, it would have lasted longer if it featured bikini girls bouncing around. Sadly, Icons is no more but it will live forever on YouTube.

Here is the episode focused on Metal Gear Solid. Enjoy!
