You know who this is - Image 1One of the biggest names in video game history known for his ingenious ideas that had gamers on their toes, embraced by hundred thousands of fans; there's nobody quite like Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear fame. He sat down for an interview with Famitsu as the legendary game director, writer, and designer celebrates the 20th anniversary of the series that popularized the stealth action genre as we know it.

As if the memories of a couple of decades ago were still fresh, Kojima reminisced:

The company told me to make a war-themed game for the MSX2. At that time, Capcom's Commando was really popular in the arcades. Although to be honest, I did not want to make a war-themed game. So I came up with a game concept like the movie "The Great Escape" where players would try to escape from prison without using any weapons.

His ambitious concept wasn't embraced well by the company, almost causing Kojima to quit. Fortunately, a co-worker heard his ideas out and it clicked for both of them. Kojima told Famitsu:

One day, my older co-worker asked me 'what type of game do you want to make?' I insisted on "The Great Escape" game. So he told me to write up a concept proposal, and when he read it, he told me he has not seen this type of game before. He negotiated with our boss and finally the project was given the go signal. He was really a great guy, actually he was the man behind Gradius.


As we all know, that fresh game that spurred from the mind of a single person went on to become one of the most successful game franchises in the world of gaming. Kojima Productions is already celebrating Metal Gear's 20th Anniversary, party coming up on July 24 in Japan, and the release of Metal Gear Solid Collection is right around the corner.

What about Metal Gear Solid 4, you say? Surely, you didn't think we won't be seeing this much anticipated title on E3. Even if you did, it's time to cast away those negative thoughts - we will get a demo of MGS4 using actual PS3 hardware. While we do not know if it'll be playable, we're still very excited. Rest assured we'll keep you guys posted when it finally comes around

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://000url.com/money you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "***** MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

[NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!]
