Hideo Kojima's radio drama revival of the Snatcher franchise is now available for download. Access the first act of "Suda 51's Sdatcher" at the newly opened official site. New acts will follow every other week through November.

Howdy, once again, pardners! AlienLion counts down ten pretty random games that should have been franchises, as in series, as in they should have had sequels. These are all epic titles that were mostly overlooked and forgotten (well ok, not ALL of them forgotten) for no damn good reason. If you are not familiar with some of them, get off the Internet and get to installin’! Or at least, read about them here to find out if you really should. I wish some of them got remakes as well but they’re worth a few splinters as they are. Anyway, of course, this is not a complete list, and a bit of a sequel is coming up next, but for now, enjoy:
Ristar and Comix Zone
edit: I'm looking up that Landstalker game, it looks fantastic and will probably pick that up
kya dark lineage
sphinx and the cursed mummy
coomix zone
ristar
mirrors edge
C&C Renegade. Easily one of the best multiplayer I've ever played.
Damn EA for canning Tiberium.
Last Wednesday was a special one for fans of the Metal Gear series : Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa both were in Paris to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the series with them, with a private masterclass. We asked Kojima-san if, after the audio drama SDATCHER with Suda51, he would like to return to Snatcher once again...
You should definitely play it, but buy it is another story considering the price on auctions sites today :/
Surprised that the first hasn't been reissued in some form. via PSN/XBL if not an iOS.
As for a new one, I'm actually worried about a sequel in this current era. That a console version would just be another FPS.
Is he waiting for Us to do it or what?
C'mon Mr. Kojima, grease the wheels.

Summertime used to be a dead season for video games but not anymore. Here are some news stories you might have missed this week. I know for a fact that some of you are here just for the pretty pictures, so enjoy the show!
Everything is in Japanese.
