Metal Gear Solid Mobile? Why post that? Well I figured that thousands of you out there plunked down $US 600 for a console on the mere promise of a new Metal Gear Solid game, so you might just be interested in a mobile version, especially one that only costs $US 10.99 ($US 4.99 monthly). Available today exclusively to Verizon Wireless customers (dammit), Metal Gear Solid Mobile is a full on MGS game, promising dramatic 3D art and camera work never-before-seen in a mobile game. Along with your standard stealth espionage action, the game also utilises camera phone functionality, allowing you to take real world pictures and use them in the in-game camo system. It sounds pretty damn nifty, and the game has already won two awards at the 2008 International Mobile Gaming Awards. Unfortunately I am not a Verizon customer, or I’d let you know how it played. I’ll just be hiding under this tiny little box until my carrier is deemed worthy.
