Judging by the comments on that Metal Gear Solid movie post a while back, it seems a number of you guys like the thought of Christian bale playing Solid Snake. Got some bad news for you though (and good news for those who didn't want him in the movie): Bale says he hasn't been approached about the Metal Gear Solid movie.

If these new ESRB listings prove to be correct, we may be seeing Solid Snake again on the PS3. It won't be Old Snake, though, but Metal Gear Solid-era Snake, and he'll even be bringing along pre-steroids Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine from before she had a dye job.

Oh, he's feeling the pressure alright. Hideo Kojima, creator of the famed Metal Gear series, is admitting that he does feel the intense pressure from people for him to continue with it, even when Solid Snake has already been technically retired in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots .

Aaaand: restock! Solid Snake's 80GB bundle is available once again on Amazon. Just in case you're looking to buy a PS3 unit (for yourself, or a friend, a brother, your girlfriend, your granny, who knows?), this one's worth a shot. The SKU was discontinued before, but now it's back.

Just so you know, this is not the Gun-metal Gray unit. This is, however, the backwards compatible version, so that's a plus.

Whos' Number 1 for Famitsu for 2008? All was revealed at the Famitsu Awards, and the Monster Hunters still proved to be the favorite as Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G takes the top spot as Game of the Year.

I was waiting for more Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360) stuff so I was really on the lookout. Here's the latest trailer for this very promising new title, where the Caped Crusader pulls a Tenchu / MGS on Joker's poor henchmen. It's just as bad-ass as the ones we've seen before, if not better.

It would be downright tragic if the last entry to the Metal Gear franchise was Metal Gear Solid Touch. Thankfully enough, Konami's posted a new job listing that says there's a new game in line for the series.

Details after the link.

To many a gamer, the name David Hayter rings a bell. Most of us would know him as the voice behind Solid Snake in the MGS series. But he's also got his screenwriting career under his belt (X-Men, Watchmen). In this video interview, he reveals that Hollywood politics may have blasted his chances for penning the MGS movie, however, he's looking rather optimistic.

What's this? Metal Gear Solid 4 Legofied?!? Well, not exactly. I mean, yeah, it's Lego, but it's not really Solid Snake made out of those building blocks (we wish for a life-sized one, though). Instead, it's Snake's favorite weapon, the M1911 Operator Pistol. Yes, Legofied.

Sony might have fallen from it's perch up on high, but it hasn't been a fall from grace. The PS3 has enjoyed its best year yet, with a stable of solid releases, excellent exclusives and strong third party titles. We pick the best of the best.
