Well, we have a special treat for you right now, in the form of the first 15 13 minutes of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Now, unless you speak Japanese, you’ll probably be a bit lost in terms what exactly is going on, but the opening cinematic is easy on the eyes, and huntin' dudes in the jungle has no language, so the gameplay should speak for itself. Enjoy!

• Billy Berghammer offers up his hands-on impressions of the game.
• Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker TGS 2009 trailer
• We chat up Peace Walker assistant producer Sean Eyestone about the game’s co-op mode and storyline.

We've all wanted to take over the world at some point in our lives. Behind every great dictator/warlord/emperor lies a force of dedicated, capable minions.

Pikmin, this is not, baby seal-clubbing adventure, controlling a horde of evil-doing minions... check and mate.

Fight Night Round 4 drops next week for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but we've already been putting the game through its paces here at the office. Up first, we're showing off the game's improved "Legacy Mode", which starts off with the boxer's first amateur tournament and follows him throughout his entire career. You can also elect to play this mode as one of the real world boxers, by the way.

Instead of just choosing your next fight like in Fight Night Round 3 followed by one training minigame, the career in Round 4 follows a calendar. You'll have to account for things like recovery time and training days before each fight. Do you cram in as many fights as possible without fitting in a lot of training or do you hit the gym and build your stats for a few big fights?

Additionally, Round 4's Legacy Mode is built around the fact that all boxers must retire. The question is, what will your boxer's record and standing be when age finally gets the best of him?
