MGS4 Limited Edition available in Europe at Play.com
There are no images of the European Limited Edition yet, but we've attempted to contact Konami PR in case there are any floating about. At eighty quid, the LE is definitely on the pricey side, but we're certain there are a fair number of you who will grab it at that price. We've already put in our preorder, anyway.

X-Play presents MGS4 gameplay footage
Are you craving for some real-time gameplay? We sure are, and X-Play delivers. Many facets of MGS4's complex gameplay are on display here, from Snake's robotic friend to his NPC assistants. The quality of the footage isn't the best, but it does an excellent job of informing us how the game will play when it comes out in the upcoming months.

Classic Metal Gear Solid gets revived in MGS4
This Metal Gear Solid trailer has some humble beginnings, showing off footage from the classic PS1 title and Wii's Super Smash Bros. Brawl. But then it does something completely unexpected. We see Young Snake sneaking around in a completely remastered Shadow Moses. Could it be? Is Metal Gear Solid being remade in MGS4? Perhaps not the entire game, but it's likely we'll see a few playable segments from Snake's earlier adventures. This would be an incredible homage to a hero who's time has likely come.

Kojima Productions clarifies MGS4's 'implied child rape'
Note: The following text may be considered a "spoiler" to some. Although no specifics are mentioned, please read with care.Apparently, the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) said that Metal Gear Solid 4 featured "implied child rape." Since then, the description has been deleted. The original description noted that "references to suicide and an implied child rape" were featured in the game.
While that description has since been removed, Kojima Productions contacted Kotaku with a statement, noting that there is no "rape" in the game: "There is mention of child trauma, which is probably why they added 'implied." Considering the game's 15 rating (as opposed to the more adult 18 rating), we doubt anything truly horrific could've been included.
The Metal Gear franchise has been known for its unique stories, and it's clear that Guns of the Patriots will touch upon some sensitive issues. We can't wait to see what Kojima's (supposedly) last MGS tale will bring.

PS3 Fanboy hands-on: Metal Gear Online
The first thing we saw before hitting the battle map was the weapons screen. Here, you need to choose one riffle type weapon, a sidearm, and grenades. There's a good selection of weapons within each category; however, it's still unclear whether all 70 plus weapons promised in MGS4 will make their way into MGO. Once we finally hit the battleground, we proceeded out in a unified team formation. Playing around with the controls, we noticed that MGO was pretty much a standard shooter experience -- which is a good thing as it felt very natural.

Hideo Kojima bashes Metal Gear Solid 4 -- is he being too hard on himself?
After their initial TGS showing, everyone was excited to see what the PS3 was capable of, but once development really started, Kojima says they could not evolve as much as he wanted. "The original vision was to go ten steps further, the reality was just one step, which isn't to say we didn't progress." The CPU apparently is at fault here, as the Cell is being fully employed, says Kojima.
He doesn't blame the PS3 and rightly so. It's one thing to lay out your plans and envision what you'd like to do, but when it comes to it, you've got to sacrifice some of your dreams and ideals. Was Kojima dreaming too much with his original ideas? Not really -- but what he wanted might have been something we'll need to wait another generation for. We'd like to have a smell-o-vision, but we'll settle for rumble. Is that the PS3's fault? Nah. Kojima should relax -- his game looks fantastic and we're sure all his fans will agree he's made much more progress than he's giving himself credit for.

Gunmetal PS3 not ruled out for Europe
If the Gunmetal PS3 is coming to Europe, why haven't we heard about it yet? One of the reasons might be the DualShock 3, which still doesn't have even a vague release date for Europe. Considering one of the big selling points of the MGS4 bundle is the new rumbling controller, announcing one without it would give Europe just another reason to be angry at how they're treated by the Video Game industry. There's no telling whether DualShock 3s will even be available separately in time for MGS4's June 12th release date. Here's hoping, though!
