Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

kurt russell as snake pliskinHot on the heels of last week’s Siphon Filter: Dark Mirror being announced for psp comes another hot title slated for release. Metal Gear B.D. (tentative title) will be a Playstation Portable exclusive and will be directed by Shinta Nojiri of Metal Gear Acid Fame.

Siphon Filter: Dark Mirror Announced for PSP

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

Siphon Filter   Dark MirrorSiphon Filter: Dark Mirror was announced for the PSP today. You should definitely add this one to your pre-order list, along with SF Alpha 3 MAX.

The original Siphon Filter was one of the best games ever made for PS1. (As a matter of fact, I’ve been playing through it lately – Still Fun!) Never having bought a PS2, I’ve lost track of the series’ progress since then. I look forward to getting reacquainted when Siphon Filter: Dark Mirror comes out sometime in 2006.

For those of you unfamiliar with Siphon Filter, It’s a 3rd person Action/Stealth/Puzzle/Shooter. They claim it will have 8 player multiplayer online, but don’t hold your breath.(Remember how Coded Arms cut their online play at the last second.) Hopefully Siphon Filter won’t disappoint.
