At the three events, talent such as the creator of the series, Hideo Kojima, and the voice of Solid Snake, David Hayter, will appear.

The fourth installment of one of the most popular video game franchises of all time, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots features a cinematic experience and visual masterpiece that will break new ground for the stealth-action genre.
