Metal Gear's creator took to Twitter to talk about the conceptual origins behind the name of series protagonist Solid Snake. Over eight tweets.

Metal Gear Solid turns 15 today. To celebrate, Konami wants you to buy it on PSN. Which I suppose is a decent way to celebrate.

What Konami event would be complete without a healthy dose of Metal Gear Solid 4? And a healthy dose it was!
