And this Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes modification, which puts auteur Hideo Kojima in the lead role, is...
Review PES 2015: Pro Evolution Soccer (PlayStation 4)
A humdinger
With last year’s PES 2014: Pro Evolution Soccer opting to skip the PlayStation 4, Konami has had an extra year to consider its next-gen debut. Against the much more popular FIFA, PES has tended to trail slightly behind EA Sports’ juggernaut in recent years, catering to a much smaller section of the footballing market with its less...
Rumour Did Hideo Kojima Just Announce the Release Date for Metal Gear Solid V?
Kept us waiting
Reporting on rumours surrounding Hideo Kojima's games is risky business.
