Earlier today, I (ed: Read: someone at Kotaku) stumbled upon a post over at the N4G Forums which basically included the picture above which shows that PS2 Games May be coming to The PSN store in the near future….

From what I can gather using my incredibly large brain, Sony may possibly be unveiling this at E3 which isn’t so far off… Even though the picture could quite easily have been Photoshopped, it is starting to seem like an exciting prospect and is also a way to work around the problem of the non-backward compatible PS3s. I guess We will just have to wait and see…

Ed: It’s also nice to know that Metal Gear Solid 2 (ie. not the one where you lie in grass and get shot like a tit) will be available for the very-much-competitive price of £12.99!)

Konami have released a video showing new gameplay footage of MGS4. In what appears to be a dream, Snake is seen sneaking through a location from the original MGS on the PSone. Whether this will be a one off flashback or you can play more of these old scenes remains to be seen, but it doesn’t look like it’s the exact same timeframe as the original as there are no patrolling soldiers or any enemy activity.

Here’s hoping this isn’t a one off, I’d love to play some snippets of MGS with updated graphics, and as its in Snake’s head they can mix it up and add some crazy psychedelic stuff.

Back from my wacky adventures in this great nation’s capital, I’m here to bring you Video Friday once again!

Drunk on power after he was assigned the task of posting VidFri last week, Daniel also has a suggestion this time around:
We’re getting to that time of year when all of the girls and boys in the industry are busy readying E3 for what will no doubt be “the best E3 I’ve ever been to” yet again. For now, cast your memory back to 2006 and Nintendo’s press conference.

Where were you when you first saw the Wii promo? Personally, I was glued to Gamespot watching the live conference and literally jumping around the room having a nerdgasm over the thought of swinging a light-saber. By actually swinging my arm.

Oh the power a bit of well-made video can wield. The Wii was all set to shatter modern conventions about what gaming is. For me, though I do enjoy playing on the Wii, it’s not been the Earth-shattering experience I expected. But then again it was never going to be.

Probably the worst best thing Nintendo did to us was tease us (without ever lying about what the technology could do) and let our imaginations run wild.

And so I present to you that very first video that had fanboys across the globe proclaiming that life as we knew it was about to end:
