Stealth September

5/9/2014

Shhh! Be very quiet, and maybe we'll tell you what Stealth September is going to look like on The Pixel Empire. Over the next few weeks, we'll be donning our camo, fitting our silencers and sneaking our way through a host of stealth games.

We couldn't cover stealth without delving into Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear legacy, and our team have pooled resources in order to cover some of the stand-out moments in Konami's great series. Chris takes a look at where it all began with Metal Gear NES, Tom reviews the series' first foray into 3D with Metal Gear Solid PS, whilst Shane chooses one from the many grandstanding moments that the PSone classic had up its sleeve, in our latest Landmark Levels feature.

Metal Gear not your bag? Fear not, we've also got reviews of Hitman Absolution and Dishonored
X360, as well as innovative indie Stealth Inc. A Clone In The Dark VITA. That's us about done. Right, back to our cardboard box!

With the dust settling on our fifth Pixel Duel, now's a good time to take a first peek at our writer's table. Also, before we get fired-up for a bumper gaming Christmas, there's a few more treats for you all this month: Chris reviews Command & Conquer: Red Alert, whilst Shane and Tom write epitaphs for the X360 & PS3 when their successors land in the UK on the 22nd and 29th.
Also, we'd like to say a quick thank you to our Facebook followers, who recently reached triple figures. The likes, comments, discussions, suggestions and requests we've received are all hugely appreciated and you've helped us build a great community, one that already feels much bigger than it is. We promise to continue to work hard in future to make as complete a Pixel Archive as we can, celebrating games of all ages and backgrounds!

Second opinions, Xbox, Columns & the people behind The Pixel Empire...

We've got loads for you this week! Firstly the reviews: some 8-bit puzzling in the form of Columns (1990) for you retro fans, as well XBox and XBox 360 reviews respectively in the form of Conker: Live & Reloaded (2005) and Space Marine (2011) respectively. These are the first Microsoft-format games reviewed on the site, and we've got a whole load more for you to look forward to shortly.

Furthermore, if you visit our MotorStorm RC and BioShock reviews, they now features a second opinion to go with the main review. There will be a fair few of these coming over the next few months, adding to the depth of our coverage.

The Pixel Empire is assembling nicely. It currently consists of three game fanatics in the form of Tom, Alan and Shane. You can learn a tiny bit about the people who make the site tick on the Contributors page...

...Which in turn is situated under Pixel Vault site tab. This is essentially the part of the site bar that holds the non-review/features/news bits - the miscellany if you will. It's well worth visiting; as well as being able to understand TPE's general philosophy when it comes to writing courtesy of the About section, there's also the regularly-updated Pixel Archive, which grants easy, alphabetical access to all the reviews we've so far written, across all formats.

- Tom
