Last night, GamesRadar were privileged to watch as Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima took the stage at a Konami press conference in San Francisco, sat in front of a giant screen and played through the early parts of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Privileged partly because it was the man himself, but mostly because he unveiled a few cool things that they hadn't yet seen, like a gun that summons tornadoes and a remarkably non-sucky piece of in-game advertising.
He also made the following announcement: "We have finished creating MGS4... it was quite a pest." That's especially good news, seeing as the game ships to retail in less than a month.
