Review

Irem Collection Volume 3 serves as a delightful trip down memory lane for fans of classic arcade gaming. The remastered titles capture the essence of what made Irem's games cult classics with good emulation quality that breathes new life into these retro gems. Players can look forward to features that enrich their experience, like unlockable content that adds a layer of excitement for both newcomers and veterans alike. However, while the collection shines with nostalgia, potential players should be aware that it doesn’t innovate this time around, leaning heavily on the retro concept, which may not appeal to everyone. Additionally, the user interface feels clunky, detracting from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Overall, Irem Collection Volume 3 is a must-have for retro gaming enthusiasts, though those looking for groundbreaking new content might feel a bit let down.

It's exciting to see the Metal Gear Solid movie still on track with such a strong team behind it. Oscar Isaac as Solid Snake sounds perfect, and with Kojima's influence, it's bound to be a wild ride for fans.

It's super exciting to hear that the Metal Gear Solid movie is still alive and kicking Given Oscar Isaac's casting and Hideo Kojima’s visionary touch, I'm pretty optimistic about this project even though we're still waiting on more concrete details.

It's rad to see the Metal Gear Solid movie still kicking, and with Oscar Isaac as Solid Snake, this could be epic Just hope they nail the script to capture that signature Kojima vibe.
