Hideo Kojima teased Twitter this morning with two images of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker-branded Mountain Dew cans, so Konami was obliged to reveal the marketing tie-in deal itself — which includes in-game Mountain Dew. There’s no information yet about what the in-game product effect may do, but I’m hoping it’ll give Snake fat rolls....

Halfbrick have offered up another gameplay trailer for their up-and-coming adventure title, Raskulls, stating that “this trailer really encapsulates everything Raskulls has become and what it will be when it’s released”.

Square Enix don’t just make Final Fantasy games, you know. In the aftermath of the rush of FFXIII, a new trailer for Deus EX Human Evolution has stepped quietly into the public domain. And by quietly, I mean silently; seriously, there’s not even an accompanying press release. As much fun as it’d be to sit around and try and make up one, for...

No, McDonalds haven’t added portable gaming consoles to their menus but they have decided to use them to help train their employees in Japan. According to a Japanese trade paper, McDonalds will be installing two DSes into each of their outlets, costing the company around 200 million yen. The reasoning? Well, partly because they believe the time it takes to...
