Metal Slug Anthology (Review)

Dec 21, 2006

They dont make silly, shoot-everything-then-go-right games like the Metal Slug series anymore… unless you count the most recent entry in the 7-game Metal Slug Anthology, which just hit arcades this year. So, um… yeah, okay, they do still make games like that. What they shouldnt do is force you to use funky new control schemes that dont suit the old gameplay. The title of this side-scrolling shooter refers to “super vehicles” that come in the form of tanks, ...

Metal Slug Anthology - hands on (Preview)

Nov 6, 2006

Ever since Contra decided to suck, there's been a void in all our murderous hearts. If we can't find a solid, 2D run-and-gun blast-athon in which thousands of faceless enemy soldiers meet their demise, what excitement could life possibly hold for us? But all along, like the girl you always fail to notice until it's too late, the Metal Slug series has offered exactly that without exception. So, after 10 years of amassing huge casualty lists and blasting back alien invasions, Metal Slug ...

Metal Slug: Classic screens and controls (News)

Nov 3, 2006

Friday 3 November 2006 It's not in 3D and you don't have to wave your arms around like an epileptic jellyfish just to shoot. And with two of our worst fears carefully sidestepped, we can show you these lovely new screens from Metal Slug Anthology on Wii. That's right, those clever chaps at SNK have decided to include six different control systems for this package of classic Slugs so, while you can opt for the fully motion sensitive system, there is also a neat fusion of the modern and the ...

Metal Slug barrage (News)

Sep 26, 2006

We don't want to complain about our fancy new hardware not being pushed to its limits, but the side-scrolling shooting of Metal Slug Anthology wouldn't even overwork the DS. So, it's a little strange to bring you about a billion new screens for the high-powered PSP and, of all of systems, Wii, that look like they could be from a Game Boy Advance game. The screens also weren't differentiated, as to which were PSP and which were Wii, but let's just assume both platforms can handle the Metal Slug ...
