Miss the days of 2000 when you spent the summer at a boardwalk arcade, endlessly dropping quarters into Silent Scope and King of Fighters ‘99? I do. Lucky for me, Konami feels my pain and is bringing the classic sniper rifle shooter to the iPhone. Says Konami VP of Mobile and Online:

“With the release of Silent Scope on the iPhone and iPod touch, we’re substantiating our commitment to developing quality content that takes our top franchise titles and turns them into an on-the-go gaming experience,” said Anthony Borquez, Vice President of Konami Mobile and Online. “Silent Scope allows players to conceal their firearms and perfect their sharpshooting skills wherever they go.”

Never really considered Silent Scope a “top franchise title” but hey, to each his or her own.

So SEGA is still in business somehow and it’s latest offering comes in the form of a Japanese arcade unit called RAMBO. Based on the latest Sly Stallone flick, this light gun shooter is packed with cheesy movie clips and horrible gameplay. For instance:

All you do is press one button and kill (almost) everything on the screen that moves. So no news there. But what is so “unique” about Rambo is that you have to keep the trigger button pressed at all times because you are killing whole armies with an Uzi – there are no single shots.

Sounds like a home run. There’s even an “Anger Meter,” which when filled up, allows you to go batshit crazy on enemies for a limited amount of time. Guns, arcade action and John Rambo. Does it get any better? Let us know in the comments.

If you’re not excited for Killzone 2 then you probably lack skill in first-person shooters. With online modes revolving around class-based skirmishes and support for up to 32 players, how could you not be excited? Step aside Call Of Duty 4, there’s a new first-person shooter on the rise.

These new screenshots of multiplayer action are compliments of the fine folks at CVG. It’s like there’s a party behind my eyes and only Sarah Palin is invited. Yeah, baby. Hit the jump to see some screens.

There’s a fine line between being a fan and being a fanatic. This Nintendo-themed Frat House is off the charts fanaticism at its very finest. A chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon decided to turn their master quarters into a Nintendo fanboy’s dream.

The frat features a laser shooter staircase, a Duck Hunt inspired foyer, paper-mache characters, and other Nintendo references that us geeks can truly appreciate. The photos of the crazy house say it all. We bow down to you fine sirs. (more…)
