Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Metal Gear Solid ®: The Essential Collection for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system has shipped to retailers nationwide. Featuring the original Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation game console, the director's cut of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3, fans and newcomers have the chance to get fully immersed in the Metal Gear Solid universe before the release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Additionally, the title comes in a commemorative package with artwork by renowned Metal Gear Solid artist Yoji Shinkawa.
Fans of the Metal Gear Solid series can attest that there is no shortage of deep topics and criticism in their beloved games, many of which appear as recurring themes in each installment.
One of the more overlooked recurring themes is the criticism of centralized power and its consistent push for decentralization. In each game the message is clear: centralized global power by one government or organization is a major threat to world peace, more so than terrorism, political unrest, or economic instability.

This got me thinking about what other games could benefit from an HD remake. Remember the great titles you played way back when on the non-HD systems? Remember how great they were? Could you imagine how they'd be when played on your home theater setup in 720p? Or possibly full 1080p? If one of your favorite games doesn't make the list, please add it in the comments..."
I would love to see GTA Vice City and San Andreas, remade with the GTA IV engine... That would keep me very happy for a LONG time.
Kotaku: In case you missed it, Google unveiled for the first time today their fancy new Chrome operating system. Why do we care? Because its debut trailer managed to sneak in a little Metal Gear, that's why.
Get to around the 1:49 mark of the clip and you'll see that somebody on the Chrome team likes their coffee. And their Kojima Productions crew. And we also find that Snake would be far more punctual, if only he subscribed to Google's particular brand of task management.
PC is an open arcitecture and is about time there will be an OS to compete against MS. Competition is good, right? Hopefully the days of MS' dominance in the PC OS arena will end soon. MS has gotten away with marginal improvements their OS for too long. I hope gaming becomes a focus and that Devs support both Windows and Chrome OS equally. Look at the competition between Nvidia vs ATI or AMD vs Intel. Competition has helped push those companies to new heights and will most likely have a similar affect with PC OS'.
Omg I couldnt stop laughing, that is great! SNAKE BE ON TIME!
As for the OS if 7 didnt come out, id say this looked good. However its too basic and lacks the "looks interesting" display that 7 and Mac OS brought to their respective parties. I think Google needs to make it look better no matter how well it runs. To me its basically just google chrome the internet browser taking over your entire PC.
Buy buy buy! :)
Gotta go pick that up.
It probably won't be in until tomorrow though.
it's a steal.
wish i could afford to get this right now. oh well, it'll be there when i can.
All three 3 games, packaged together, plus artwork, and all the features of the special games for $30 dollars.
