So, did you guys guess the big surprise? I wondered if the Konami themed post would give it away. We’ve decided to do something a little different from our normal post. Keep in mind that the site thrives around you guys. So, if you like the idea, make sure you tell me in the comment […] More

This hulking statue of the Dovahkiin was used to promote The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Bethesda has a history of using large statues to promote their games – they also used a large statue of a power armor suit to promote Fallout 3. Hollow, so it’s not nearly as heavy as it looks. The ultimate […] More
Perhaps the most famous of Nintendo’s console addons next to the N64DD, the BS-X Sattelaview was a revolutionary device that supported game and content downloads in the pre-Internet world, much like Sega Channel. Unlike Sega’s cable-based strategy, however, Nintendo decided to take another option – sattelite transfer, via a now-defunct Japanese sattelite company named St. […] More
My sweet spot for obscure system peripherals continues. This time, we have the Famicom Network System Adapter, a modem for the Japanese Famicom that allowed the system to go online and download various news, jokes, and pre-internet miscellany. Interestingly enough, it also read a HuCard-like proprietary game format, allegedly to read cards containing online-enabled versions […] More
Xenogears, the cult classic 1998 PS1 RPG by Squaresoft, has always held a special place in my heart as an RPG that raised the bar for storytelling in video games. Unfortunately, little Xenogears merchandise exists, and that which does exist is poorly documented. Naturally, then, this collection piqued my curiosity. In addition to the […] More
Promotional can of “E3 Snake Meat” (packed in its own juices) for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater from 2004.

Saw this one coming.. The Limited Edition wasn’t actually sold out (on pre-order day) until Kotaku again reminded everyone about the pre-order and after that, it was all gone. The very next day, this Collector’s Edition for the Metal Gear Solid version popped up on USAopoly’s website with a price tag of $39.95 ($20 difference […] More
Yes, board games still exist. As long as consumers still want to play them, Hasbro and USAopoly will keep putting new ones out there. Once upon a time, board games were one of the few family activities we had in our living room. It’s premise is probably one of the things that paved the way […] More
So here’s a Metal Gear Solid lot.. pretty cool I think. This spans many platforms including Japan and Europe. I would list them all but it’s too big so see it for yourself. Sucks to see someone’s collection like this go.. Whatever the reason may be, the seller is only asking $2,800 (with best offer). […] More
I`ll have my Metal Gear guy weigh in on these shortly, but bottom line is that there`s a ton of really rare and expensive Metal Gear goodies up for grab and ending tomorrow. The first for example, is a LE Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater given to certain Konami shareholders. The cover is a […] More
I’m told this is a Famitsu exclusive that’s tough to find at this price. It was originally only available on their website and now been discontinued. Includes the PSP game software, a water bottle (“Peace Water”), a 1000 piece puzzle (“Love & Piece”) and art work of the completed puzzle. Auction Here You can also […] More
