If you live in Japan, on June 10th you'll be graced with patches for various games to get them going in 3D. If you don't, well, you'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Most gamers already thought the prospect of Crytek's CryEngine 3 was rather sweet. 'Better graphics' than Crysis, support for current generation consoles, and a leap from the jungle to the cityscape of New York with Crysis 2.

I'll probably never see it, and never play it, but Metal Gear Arcade is looking so very awesome. The game was playable at Japan's AOU Expo this week, revealing many details about the game. Ultimately what you have is Metal Gear Online, in an arcade cabinet, but with a twist.....

I'm all for increased entertainment immersion, and I have a particular interest in getting accurate drives, rides or flights out of their respective games.
