I have to say that I am pretty excited today after hearing that one of my favorite video game series is coming out with a new installment. What’s more is that for the first time the series will be available on the Xbox, so I won’t have to dust off my ps3 (sorry PS3, I just generally find Xbox games more user friendly). So which game am I talking about? Metal Gear Solid, baby! That’s right a new Metal Gear Solid game was announced today at the E3 gaming conference!

What’s cool about this new game, besides it being available for the Xbox 360, is that instead of taking the role of Snake (the hero of the last couple of MSG games), the main character is going to be Raiden the ninja, who was the star of the second MGS game. The new console game is going to be called “Metal Gear Solid Rising”.
