The release of Peace Walker has MGS fans excited and animated. This fan in particular has created and cosplayed practically every character in the Metal Gear universe, from sexy classics like Meryl to even crazy super Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 4.
"When I was a child, there were a bunch of cool games... the Sonic ones, the Mickey ones, the Donald Duck ones, etc. But these were all "cute"... then, after sometime, with the evolution of video game, it was delivered to us a game that kicked butt: Metal Gear Solid.
It was not about fighting, but it was about the art of stealth. Being an ocidental ninja, per say... and Solid Snake was that new kind of John Rambo of secret agents. And man, it was a cool game and I'm definetely waiting a mov..."
You've gotta give some gamers credit. They're either really dedicated to their games (or just really impulsive). A Japanese lady has sent Kotaku a picture of her new Solid Snake tattoo that covers most of her midriff!
Let's hope she doesn't regret it in 10 years!
"In years past, NeoGAF has done their favorite moments in gaming, using only MS Paint to show you. Looking back at 2008 brings us some of the coolest moments, great memories that can look amusing to just plain epic, even when in Paint. I purposely left out the names of the games as half the fun is guessing (but if you cant figure it out, right click and hit properties to see the file name where I put the game)."
"One of our eagle-eyed Official Australian PlayStation magazine readers (our sister publication), Mr. Alistair Richardson, recently found himself in the presence of the man and, as you can see from the image above, took photographic evidence of the fact. To double check we merged the man with his in-game costume and hey presto, we had a match!
What were the events that lead to this historic discovery? Well let Alistair explain

"Konami diffuses images of the European Metal limited edition GEAR Solid 4: Guns off the Patriots on PlayStation 3 which will thus contain in addition to the play, a making-of Blu-ray, the original soundtrack and a figurine of Old 20 height cm Snake. Available 25.000 units only, this pack will leave next on June 12, and should cost a little less than 100 euros."
Japan sure know how to advertise their video games. Here are a few photos of Tokyo's popular Shibuya district, showing the enormous Metal Gear Solid 4 advertisments and posters that have been scattered across the area.
Those ones as tall as skyscrapers would certainly attract attention!
"The first images of the European limited edition of Metal Gear Solid 4 have sneaked out, and it looks like a box with some pictures on it. A nice box with some pictures on it, but there we are. The shots are here and here."
With the release coming closer and closer, we're getting more and more information on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and well, here's another bit of information that's been released - the European Packshot. Similar to the formatting of the previous EU boxes, it shows us a sketch-style image of Snake. Along with that we've got two images... (im still trying to find the other two promised in the source article...)
80's TV hunk, Tom Selleck, known for such hit shows as Magnum P.I. has an uncanny resemblance to Konami's, Solid Snake. A user by the name of Brianemone has done a MGS4 coverart with Mr. Selleck. I have to admit, it looks pretty cool. I know i'd play it. Where can I get my hands on MGSelleck 1 through 3? Enjoy the boxart!
Destructoid member ArrestedDeveloper blogs about obtaining the DVD titled 'Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2' which is obtained when you pre-order MGS4 for the PS3.
Some very nice artwork both on the case and disc make this DVD even more appealing. Getting your hands on one of these will also net you a beta key to the MGS4 Online beta. Good luck on finding one of these, however, as they seem a bit difficult to get (limited supplies).
