Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Release
For the last couple of years we have been hearing about this remaster version of all of the original Metal Gear games and this week we finally got it. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 is billed as a remaster but it isn’t exactly one. It is a time capsule for fans of the series or any of the original games but the lack of updated graphics and the slow frame rates make it very difficult for the new player to pick these up and get into them. As someone who is obsessed with the series; this hits the spot. It really feels just like it did back when the games originally came out and really allowed me to fall in love with the series all over again. Available now on all platforms. Snake? Snake? SNAKE?!?

‘Barbarian’ video game in development with Diversion3 Entertainment
One of the bigger surprise hits of last year was Zach Cregger’s ‘Barbarian’ and wasting no time Diversion3 Entertainment has already begun the process to make this playable. First reported on BloodyDisgusting, the studio famously behind the Friday the 13th: The Game and Evil Dead: The Game had been in talks with New Regency Pictures to make this come to fruition. While Diversion3 doesn’t have a lengthy list of previous games, their track record speaks for itself and we can safely be optimistic on the final product.

UFC 5 launches with a brand new engine and in-game mechanics
The brand new and revamped UFC 5 dropped earlier this week and it’s toting a whole new bag of tricks. Debuting the new Frostbite engine in game, the movement and combat is brand new and seamless which is a huge improvement from the predecessors. UFC 5 is loaded with new features like cinematic K.O. replay, displaying the agony of defeat or the glory of victory in super slow motion. Fight week will showcase a live storyline tracker for the ebbs and flows of the sport’s drama, such as live fight picks linked to real-life UFC events. Oh, and Hasbulla is available as a walkout partner as well. With all of these new improvements there is only one downside, we won’t be getting anymore of the hilarious glitch videos the previous titles provided us. UFC 5 is out now on all platforms.
