Late Night Consoling
Our buddy Jason is gone for the holiday weekend, so here I am to fill in for the LNC post, and I'll be adding games to the Shack Reviews section this Sunday too. There won't be an LNC on Monday though, as it's unlikely there will be enough news to warrant a post.
Metal Gear Solid 3 Interview Over at GamePro you can find an interview with Konami's Hideo Kojima, who is asked about Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. MGS3 Q&As deal with reaction to MGS2, online features, the jungle environment, and the game's title while the Twin Snakes Q&As are about using Silicon Knights as developer, and why they are remaking a game instead of creating a new adventure for the GameCube. | |
Xbox Wireless Adapter Tired of the extra network cable Xbox Live brought to your living room? The FCC of all places goofed up and posted on their website that they have approved an Xbox wireless adapter using the 801.22g specification (54Mbps). Microsoft confirmed the approval, but declined to comment further for now. Digitimes.com has a picture of the device. Thanks Slashdot Games. | |
Your Own Arcade MachineGameSpot is reporting that Fry's Electronics stores will soon have the X-Arcade home arcade machine on display.

Dalton is asked about the similarities between the free PC multiplayer addon and the included Xbox multiplayer options, unique features of the multiplayer mode, use of vehicles, map size and a few other things. | |
