1.3.02 Well, a new year is upon us, and we've seen the splendor (depending upon your view) of Metal Gear once again in the form of Sons of Liberty. I have not had much time over the holidays, as I'm sure this is the same with you all, but now am back on track. The new Previous Story link is up now, and if you notice in the background of that page, is a picture of the Metal Gear Ray, which, I'm extra proud to say, is an original I have drawn. 11.9.01 The Metal Gear Solid 2 strategy guide from Brady Games (maker of Pokemon and Resident Evil series game guides) has been released today. The guide features a walkthrough, secrets, a full-size poster, and several sweet renditions of the characters from Metal Gear mech designer/conceptual artist Yoji Shinkawa. Though not having as many bonus features as the Metal Gear Solid (PSX) guide done by Millenium Publishing, it still has it's plusses. 11.1.01 Metal Gear Solid 2 Premium Package is due out in Japan at the end of December. Those of you who may have imported it from online or other sources will be getting a 72 page "Art of Metal Gear Solid 2" book, Solid Snake statuette, limited-edition soundtrack, and a special 100-minute "making-of MGS2" DVD.                  >>>>>Discuss this in the forums...
