Inmate makes cardboard box in workshop, escapes from French jail
It seems that a French prisoner by the name of Jean-Pierre Treiber fashioned a cardboard box during his stay at a prison in Auxerre, Burgundy. He then proceeded to hide in the box as it was loaded onto a truck with several others thus escaping from the high security prison.
Now, you may be wondering what the hell does this have to do with video games but Metal Gear Solid fans will know just fine what it has to do. Any bets on how long until Mothers against Metal Gear makes its debut?
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker to be made available at TGS
Kojima Productions has launched yet another teaser site this time notifying us that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be made available for play at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
According to Joystiq, it will be playable on demo units that Kojima will have on hand along with a down loadable PSP demo. So remember, if you’re planning on heading to the Tokyo Game Show be sure to bring your PSP as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is sure to be one of the hand held console’s strongest titles to date.
Christian Bale hasn’t been asked to be in Metal Gear Solid movie
You remember that supposedly leaked Metal Gear Solid: The Movie poster we showed you a few weeks ago, right? Well if The Dark Knight main man Christian Bale is to be believed, that poster was fake, considering it displayed him as playing the main character.
In a recent interview with MTV Multiplayer, when asked if he’s been approached for a Metal Gear Solid movie the actor responded with a modest “No”.
Either way, I don’t think there is any question over whether or not Christian Bale would make an awesome Solid Snake. Get on that Sony!
Playstation Store gets updated, includes Metal Gear Solid

Original Metal Gear Solid coming to PSN
There has been a lot of Metal Gear Solid news at this year’s E3, and they seem to keep rolling in. Konami has announced that the original Metal Gear Solid game, which was released on the PlayStation back in 1998, would find its way to the PlayStation Network, and will be offered on June 18 for $10.
This E3 has been busy for Konami, where the publisher has announced several Metal Gear games, inclduing Metal Gear Solid Rising, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid Arcade.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker coming to the PSP
It looks like Sony has finally taken a hint and contracted one of their most loyal developers, Konami, to give the PSP’s game library a little wake up call — Recently announced during E3 is Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, a PSP exclusive that isn’t a port in any way shape or form.
Peace Walker apparantly takes place 10 years after the happenings of Metal Gear Solid 3 and stars none other than Solid Snake. The best part, however, is that Hideo Kojima will be diverting his attention away from the Xbox 360 Metal Gear to focus completely on Peace Walker which means it’s sure to be a hit.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be released for the PSP sometime in 2010.
Kojima unveils another teaser
Hideo Kojuma has yet again teased with another dark, rainy image, this time with a countdown timer. But once the original timer ran out, according to 1UP, a new one started from 200 hours.

Kojima launches teaser site for unannounced project
E3 is just around the corner which means the hype train is in full speed. To add to said hype train Kojima has gone ahead and launched a teaser site for an upcoming project they are working on.
As you can see from the above screenshot there is nothing more than a field and cloudy sky, what could this mean? Let’s hope Kojima is working on another Metal Gear title.
If the teaser looks familiar it’s because it looks similar to the scenery featured in the print teaser ad that we got wind of yesterday. Oh E3, you are so close yet so far away.
You can view the site here.

Metal Gear Solid Touch Lite hits App Store
If you share my distate in shelling out any amount of cash for iPhone apps but want to give Metal Gear Solid Touch a go, you’re in luck — Konami evidentally wanted more people to get a taste of the game as they have recently released a trial version onto the App Store.
Entitled Metal Gear Solid Touch Lite, the trial will run 84.4 MB and feature 3 full levels of tap-shooting action.
After fiddling with the game for a bit I’ve discovered it to be quite fun but found my finger getting in the way causing me to miss my target. I probably won’t be buying the game but perhaps after trying the Lite version, you will.
Metal Gear Solid Touch completed, free update issued

"I can’t really speak specifically right now," he added.

This year’s E3 takes place June 2-4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

An “Advance Edition” of the game is apparently set to hit Apple’s App Store towards the end of this month. Theres no word on pricing but we do know that it will include the first 12 levels from the final game along with an update adding 8 more levels on an unannounced date.
Konami also added that the game will feature Old Snake in locations like the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South America, and of course, Shadow Moses.
