The title has become a staple of the vidgame biz since its first incarnation, Metal Gear, came out in 1987. There have been three updates since with a fourth title expected to run on PlayStation 3 later this year. The storyline of the game follows both futuristic warfare and the political intrigue behind it, and is said to have a general anti war message, despite the digital violence that marks the action.
A film adaptation for Metal Gear Solid has been rumored for the last year, but now negotiations have completed, and the project is ready to boot up.
