"Here’s a joke: Did you hear the one about Uwe Boll directing a movie version of the acclaimed video game series “Metal Gear Solid”? So did Uwe Boll – only he’s not laughing.
“This was an absurd story,” Boll told MTV News about how his name got attached and then removed from a cinematic adaptation. “Two French guys wrote a script, said they are from Konami hired to write the script, said ‘You wanna direct it?’ I read the script, I liked the script.

"The best part? It's learning that Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops captures an entirely different, younger market in Japan than the console titles:

"Video games have a long tradition of creating tough-as-nails protagonists that fight hordes of oncoming enemies. Still, few have been able to elevate themselves to true “badass” status.

Even if you did catch it, but were too lazy to navigate the Kojima Productions site to uncover the above trailer, this post is also for you. This newly released trailer of the Portable Ops+ bonus content shows that Kojima and company really care. And that they've got a sense of humor."

"Konami Japan has opened up a special site in honor of the Metal Gear series' 20th anniversary. In addition to a flashy interface, the site provides links to screens, tips and info on all entries from the original Metal Gear to the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4."

"The competition will unfurl between June and October, spread over three official tournaments. In a first for a portable game, full clan support is included in MGS: Portable Ops, and the new competition will be a driving force for the formation of these online teams."

"Like a crack dealer dangling his wares at the playground gates, Konami has revealed it's offering PlayStation Portable fans a tantilising whiff of its latest Metal Gear Solid title, Portable Ops, in demo form.

Already available for download via Sony's Your PSP website, the demo dishes out a teaspoon's worth of the full game's offline multiplayer mode. It's a one-map Deathmatch demo, where up to six players can rack up the points with judicious annihilation of their pals.
