If you're one of those dedicated Kojima fans, chances are that you've picked up Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker , the latest chapter in the seemingly never ending saga of Metal Gear. While you're knocking bad guys out and building your own army, you might start wondering "Where the hell are all the Monster Hunter levels I heard about." Well, they're here, but getting to them takes a bit of work. If you missed it the first time around , Konami announced a few months ago that it was partnering with Capcom to put some of the Monster Hunter monsters into Peace Walker so that Snake could test his skills. However, if you were just casually playing through Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, you could easily miss these gems. The first piece of the puzzle is that you have to listen to every one of Chico's audio briefings. To do this, pick a mission, select "Briefing Files" before deploying, and then move to the Chico file library. Listen to each one of thes...

How do Apple and HTC's smartphone juggernauts compare? While the RIM's Blackberry OS holds the crown for United States smartphone dominance, Apple's iPhone ranks second, and Android is quickly rising in the ranks. As Google's Android mobile platform continues to grow in popularity, so does the range of alluring smartphone hardware that runs it, which with every passing iteration takes further aim on the iPhone juggernaut. Earlier this year Google's Nexus One was introduced as a viable competitor to the iPhone 3GS, and now HTC's Evo 4G will go toe-to-toe with Apple's newly introduced iPhone 4. Each with powerful new technologies and their own unique feature-sets, the iPhone 4 and HTC Evo 4G will battle for the hearts, minds, and cash of consumers well into the holiday season. To give you a better sense of how these two mobile giants match up, we've constructed a rundown of the software, hardware, pricing, and technical specifications of each. Design In t...

As of this moment -- as I sit typing on my keyboard -- I'm 35 hours into Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker , and the game only has more to show me. I beat the story at the 17-hour mark or so, but with more than 100 Extra Ops serving as mini-games/challenges, my own Metal Gear to mold and customize, a platoon of 350 soldiers, dozens of hands-off Outer Ops missions to send troops out on and so much more, I don't know when I'll put this game down. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is probably the biggest game in the Metal Gear series, and it's only on Sony's smallest system. Grab your gun and watch the video review. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker picks up the story of Naked Snake (AKA Big Boss) after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. It's 1974, and Snake's a bit disenchanted. After killing his "traitorous" mentor the Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake left the United States and founded Militaires S...

If you just couldn't get enough of Altair, the robed protagonist of the first Assassin's Creed, get ready to continue the slaughter on PSP. Bloodlines picks up the storyline where the first game left off with the assassination of Robert de Sable. Altair continues in pursuit of de Sable's girlfriend Maria, captures her and continues his investigation of the Templar Knights in Cyprus. Having played the game from the beginning, the look and feel is extremely reminiscent of Assassin's Creed on the console. However, as far as we can tell there are no segments set in modern times or featuring Desmond, the bartender and main protagonist from the first game. Our previous previews have described the look of Bloodlines in great detail, but now we can tell you for ourselves exactly how it plays. The developers have tried, within the limitation of the PSP, to recreate the first game on the handheld. Altair moves and fights like he did on the consoles with a control system that is n...

It took LucasArts longer than it expected to put the finishing touches on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed , but when it was finally released last year it went on to put up huge numbers for the company - record setting numbers in fact, and considering the success of previous Star Wars titles, that's no small feat. Given that it might be a while before we see a direct sequel, assuming one is even in development (and you have to assume that it is), we're now seeing the release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Ultimate Sith Edition. Essentially, this is the collector's edition that we didn't see last year, coupled with all of the available downloadable content and a brand-new exclusive level. For the retail price you'll get the original game, the Jedi Academy, Tatooine and Hoth levels, all of the downloadable skins, a collector's card and a nice tin case to hold it all in.

Then in January, Mass Effect 2 continues the saga of intergalactic hero commander Shepard. So which adventure is best suited to your personality? Not everyone will have the time or money to play both. Lucky for you, IGN has developed the ultimate personality quiz to tell you whether to play Dragon Age or Mass Effect.
