Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes sneaks onto Xbox consoles, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare sprouts an update

The Xbox Ane received a high-profile multiplayer-only game terminal week – Titanfall. But the world needs single-player games too, and and so Konami delivers one this calendar week. Metal Gear Solid 5: Basis Zeroes is now available on Xbox One, 360, and competing platforms. A curt game with a mercifully low price, Ground Zeroes provides a tantalizing glimpse at the future of the Metal Gear series.

Meanwhile, the already-released Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare for Xbox One and 360 just received a major free downloadable content package that adds a new map, items, and lots more than changes. Read on for details, trailers, and store links!

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

The existent Metallic Gear Solid Five won't be ready for quite some fourth dimension, only in its stead Konami has released a value-priced prequel called Footing Zeroes. Players once again take on the office of Snake (played by Kifer Sutherland), who must infiltrate a prison campsite in guild to perform a daring rescue. The game's environments are at present much more open than before, allowing Snake to solve bug and handle enemy encounters with a variety of solutions. He can even drive vehicles.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Ground Zeroes is a very short game, with the main mission taking less than ii hours to complete. The cinematic sequences final just 20 minutes total, which is praise-worthy for this particular series. After the primary mission concludes, the game offers v additional missions and the replayability of collectibles and trying for better scores. With a light xv Achievements worth 1,000 GamerScore, Footing Zeroes should be a reasonable completion.

The Xbox 1 and 360 versions of Ground Zeroes feature an exclusive mission called "Jamais Vu." The bad news is y'all play as Raiden during the mission. We got the short stop of the stick there, because the Playstation 3 and 4 versions get a much better mission starring the Metal Gear Solid 1 version of Solid Snake. But we do get a SmartGlass feature called iDroid that displays maps and other useful information. So that's something.
