First, you bring up the weapon screen and press random. Then you kill yourself by typing “kill” in console. But before you respawn, bring up the weapon screen again and then hold down the number of a weapon that is already taken by others.

We’ll just go ahead and cut to the chase for those of you who’ve been following the development of Manhunt 2: we’ve seen the infamous bit where a guy gets his testicles and one of his vertebrae removed by a pair of wire cutters, and yes, it’s nasty.

Barely a month goes by without some sort of speculation–and the occasional prank–raising the prospect of Blizzard Entertainment’s next project. One of the most common rumors has the cash-flush Vivendi subsidiary working on a console version of World of Warcraft, its wildly popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game. That theory got a boost this week, when Blizzard posted job listings for a lead technical artist, lead tools programmer, and lead engine programmer for a “next-gen MMO.”

“Blizzard Entertainment is looking for an individual to lead an engine-programming team focused on next-generation massively multiplayer online games,” read one of the job descriptions. “The ideal candidate will possess outstanding communication and coordination skills and be capable of…[helping in the] design and creation of a next-generation engine.”

As if the mention of a new Blizzard MMOG wasn’t enough, this week also saw rumors spread that the publisher-developer is resurrecting one of its classic real-time strategy series. According to a Korean newsletter partially translated by Teamliquid.net, “StarCraft 2 will be revealed for the first time to the world at Blizzard’s World Wide Invitational (WWI).” According to the letter, Blizzard will also use the event, which takes place in Seoul, South Korea, on May 19 and 20, to show off the game, which reportedly has full 3D graphics, a revamped combat system, and a new race.

The official story: In an unusual turn of events, Blizzard freely admits that it will announce a new game at the WWI in Korea, where Starcraft’s popularity is at near-fanatical levels. “We do intend to announce a new product at the Worldwide Invitational next month in Korea, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest in getting an advance look at what that will be,” a rep said.

Unsurprisingly, though, Blizzard’s publicity minion became tight-lipped about the new game. “We can’t give any further details regarding the product announcement at WWI,” the rep said. “Everyone will have to wait until the event to find out the news.”

The Blizzard rep was even less chatty when it came to the subject of the next-gen MMOG. “Blizzard has a number of unannounced projects in the works, but we’re not prepared to make any announcements about them at this time,” was all he would say.

Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus that a new Blizzard game will be announced in just over three weeks. (Mark your calendars!) Bogus that it’s been officially confirmed as Starcraft 2. “We have a very strong connection with the characters and settings of StarCraft, and we do plan to revisit that universe at some point in the future, but we don’t have anything new to announce in that regard at present,” said the Blizzard rep.

As for the next-gen MMOG, the job listings prove that it is not bogus. However, the fact that none of the listings mention any platform means that the game could be a “next-gen” PC MMORPG, not a next-gen console title. This seems the more likely scenario, given that Blizzard reassigned much of its console team to focus on PC projects last August.

Released a short while back on the PSP and Wii, Metal Slug Anthology is now going to get an airing on the PS2.

Set to launch in May by developers SNK Playmore, Metal Slug Anthology is a neat package of all the platform action that’s been going down since its debut in arcades back in 1996 on the NEOGEO.

Including Metal Slug, Metal Slug 2, Metal Slug X, Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 4, Metal Slug 5 and the latest addition to the series, Metal Slug 6, the Anthology is a must have for any Slug heads out there.

”The Metal Slug franchise is synonymous with frantic arcade action and over the top exciting gun play”, said Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition Entertainment, responsible for the PSP version.

“PlayStation 2 owning fans can also now experience the thrills that this popular franchise has to offer”.

Could it be… another God of War game on PlayStation 2? You decide!

Ultra-Secret Message!
If you think your up to the challenge, try executing a 999,999 hit combo in God of War II. You’re best chance at successfully doing this is by using one of Kratos’ combo attacks with his Athena’s Blades–the Cyclone of Chaos attack (press and hold L1 and then press Square) is highly recommended. Once you get a 999,999 hit combo, the URL for a secret website will appear. If you don’t want to do the combo, you can simply type in http://www.islandofrhodes.org in your browser.

The official BioShock site, Cult of Rapture, announced that Irrational’s Jules Verne horror-laden under the sea action adventure will hit retail shelves on August 21, 2007. While both PC and Xbox 360 owners can’t wait for the nightmares, those willing to shell out more money for their favorite hyped game (so far, with good reason) can head to EB Games or GameStop for the PC LE version ($59.99) or Xbox 360 LE version ($69.99). Non-limited edition will be offered for $10 less ($49.99 and $59.99 respectively).

Sadly, we have to wait all summer to play it.

Apart from some level of gratuitous violence and a “mature gamer” focus, LE packages will contain a Big Daddy figurine, a “Making Of” DVD and an embossed graphic for the winner of the “DESIGN THE BIOSHOCK LIMITED EDITION BOX” cover contest.

With Irrational’s resume of highly imaginative storylines (System Shock 2) and stylized visions of how games should be played (Freedom Force), it would appear that even more money for the LE version is money well spent. If you’re not convinced, watch the trailer with the lights down low.
