Metal Gear Solid: Rising explains Raiden on the Kojima site, but what about Big Boss? During the Sony Press Conference, Hideo Kojima took the stage to announced his newest project for the PSP Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

The game is said to take place ten years after the events in Metal Gear Solid 3. Kojima emphasised that he and the MGS4 team were deeply involved in the game. Also, that it’s not a spin-off or sidestory. They also said that they’ll be using all the features of the PSP. Peace Walker is said to release in 2010.

“With Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Kojima Productions has once again pushed the limits of the PSP system, creating a beautiful sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3,” said Martin Schneider, European Marketing Director for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker lets players take the action and excitement of a console game to the PSP, and is a stunning addition to MGS Lore.”

“What game has 360 owners always wanted to play on their 360?” At the Microsoft E3 Press Conference, Hideo Kojima announced “Metal Gear Solid: Rising” for the Xbox 360 – but we’re not sure that it’s an exclusive yet because they only said “in developement”.

However, instead of featuring Solid Snake, the game will star Raiden.

“The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most highly acclaimed video game franchises of all time,” said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “With Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the Xbox 360 community will finally get a chance to enjoy the action and excitement that this popular franchise is known to offer.”

It seems that things are a bit clearer now. After teasing us with letters we can’t even make sensible words out of, the Kojima “NEXT” project teaser site update has finally revealed some more information about his upcoming game.

Anyway, the lighting and rain return, but this time with the letters “R” and “P” flash on the screen – along with the other letters from before. However, the teaser site reveals another hint. A picture of what looks like Big Boss – I’m not going to beat around the bush here, it is.

If you didn’t know, Big Boss was Solid Snake’s commanding officer in the original Metal Gear, however, it’s later revealed that Snake is his son-slash-clone.

Women can’t do without them in video games. We sat down and made a list of the “Top 5 Women Characters in Video Games”, but here’s what makes our list different then the other we picked our women using their back story and what they had over come and the most important is how they help the main character in the story

Joanna Dark – Perfect Dark

Joanna Dark from the Perfect Dark series was born in Atlanta, Georgia on March 18, 2000 her mother was a school teacher and her father a bounty hunter. In 2020 Joanna starts working as a bounty hunter with her father, on her first mission she took watch as an escape went wrong and her father was killed. But, this wasn’t the reason she made it on our list. It’s because she found away to avenge her father’s death and finish the mission.

Nariko – Heavenly Sword

Nariko wielder of the Heavenly Sword, an immense power that drains the wielder life force. Her clan believed that one day a predestined male would be born and would one day reclaim the sword. But, as you may already know, instead of a “predestined” male, our hero, Nariko was born. So why put her on this list? Well, it’s because with all of that stuff she was able to overcome them and show everyone that she was the predestined female for the job.

Eva – Metal Gear Solid Series

“Big Mama” or Eva was originated from the Metal Gear Solid series on the PlayStation systems as one of the key characters in Metal Gear Solid 3, the game where she had made her debut. Yeah, I know she not has popular as Lora, but that’s one of the reasons why she made it on the list. Ok, so yeah she’s cute, but if it wasn’t for her the Metal Gear Solid protagonists, Snake and Big Boss, would have a hard time finishing their mission.

Chun Li – Street Fighter Seires

Chun Li from the Street Fighter series made her debut in Street Fighter II as one of the game’s eight playable characters and as the solo female character of the game. Her main story was to avenge her father’s death, an undercover police agent who disappeared by the hand of M. Bison. By the end of the game she fulfills her mission and decides to return to her life as an ordinary girl. So why put her on the list? Well, it’s simple by doing this she made way for many other female characters in fighting games.

Elena Fisher – Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

Elena Fisher from the very popular video game for the PlayStation 3, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, a reporter for Uncharted, a TV show documenting archaeological finds. Well, she is a newcomer so why put her on the list? One because she knows what she wants, if you didn’t know, when she heard that Nathan Drake was on to something big she hired a private detective to hunt him down. She did find him and joined him on his adventure. So willing yes she is. Second, she’s fun, but with attitude kind of way. And who doesn’t like a fun girl.
