According to a site named Ripten, a source has informed to them that Metal Gear Solid, the game that started it all on the original Playstation, may be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade. Of course, no confirmation of any sort is given, but Konami did bring their other PSX masterpiece, Castlevania: SOTN, to the arcade, so it seems possible. Rumor mill for now.

Sony Pictures Entertainment revealed about a year ago that it would be turning the MGS series into a movie. Sony then went silent.. until now apparently. ComingSoon has broken the silence and revealed that the director of the cult favorite Christian Bale movie Equilibrium, Kurt Wimmer, is going to be heading up the MGS movie project. Good news for us all, especially since Uwe is far-uwe! Ha.

The speculation is over, folks. The latest issue of the magazine formerly called PSM has revealed that MGS4 and MGO are being integrated into one value-packed title. More bang for your buck is always good!

The EGM/1up Quarterman rumor monger is at it again, and he is usually on point. It seems that a new MGS adventure, that's as in "not a spin-off," is heading to the PSP. Bioshock also may be back on for the PS3 as well, which is good news for Sony. There's more, check the link.

According to Dtoid, the latest issue of Nuts Magazine has an interview with Christian Bale. In the interview he reveals he is shooting for the role of Solid Snake in the upcoming film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid. We must say, he is certainly a decent choice for the role. The movie might come of well too, if Uwe stays away.

At the last ever E3, Konami revealed that a Metal Gear Solid movie was in the works, and that they were in talks with a major Hollywood studio. Well, the studio turned out to be none other than Sony. No real surprise there considering Sony and Konami have been close for years. Besides the upcoming World of Warcraft film in the works over at WB, the MG film will be one of the highest profile game to film adaptations in the near future. One final note, Sont has hinted that the MGS movie is just the beginning.

This has shown up on the Gamespot forum folks, so it s rumor mill until confirmed cause it seems a bit unbeliveable. But even though it is likely some tongue-in-cheek gag, we bring it to you. Apparently, the newly formed Kojima X Productions is working on Metal Gear Solid Trilogy for the Xbox360. Of course, it is not MGS4, but it is a step in the right direction.

EGM: Will the gameplay look as good as the trailer? It's real-time, right?

Hideo Kojima: Yes, it is real-time, made with nearly final PS3 tools. My staff put a lot of time into, but you still see a little glitching going on. Hopefully, we should be able to fix all of that. We're only now learning how to best use the PS3, so we should be able to greatly enhance the visuals of the final product
