PlayStation & Xbox hardware gets the Body Worlds treatment at Japanese museum
For some people, the sight of a gaming console broken open, exposing its parts to the world, can be something of utter agony. Not for the Museum of Game Science in Tokyo, where you can find the entire line of PlayStation and Xbox consoles disassembled and dissected for all to see.
Seen in Engadget’s video above, one thin layer of glass is all that prevents the intrepid cameraman from reaching into the displays and pulling bits from here, bobs from there to assemble the world’s first supermega-gen console: XStation 720. Knowing better, he chooses instead to give us a piece-by-piece visual rundown of what the museum offered for display at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. We appreciate your self-control, kind sir.

TGS 2009: Hands-on: Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker (co-op)
Sharing a flimsy, cardboard box with another soldier is sure to be an inexhaustible supply of awkward discomfort. Aside from the clear violation of personal space, there are two major concerns for the occupants of Metal Gear Solid’s iconic camouflage: (1) Who’s driving this thing? And (2) that better be your gun poking me in the back, I swear.
Thankfully, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has an elegant solution for the former problem. Holding up on the PSP’s d-pad will “sync” you with your sneaking partner(s) and, as long as the button remains held down, you’ll stay in automatic lockstep with the leader. Remaining a cohesive group is an essential strategy for a silent approach, though splitting up offers its own advantages as well.

TGS 2009: Hands-on with Dante’s Inferno in the Land of the Lust
Filed under: Sony PlayStation 3, Action, TGS

We’ve talked up Dante’s Inferno and its similarities to God of War before — and not much has changed in that regard in the game’s latest build. So, instead of going deep into the gameplay here, we’ll focus on the content we saw in the new level, based on the sin of “Lust.” It’s quite the hellish journey, especially for the folks at the ESRB.
(Just a warning: despite our best efforts, given the subject matter, some of the content described might be considered NSFW. Read on at your own risk.)
