Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Not entirely unexpected, perhaps, but Hideo Kojima totally did actually turn up at Microsoft's conference and show off his new game, Metal Gear Solid Rising. He didn't really say much except that Rising is a "completely new Metal Gear game and you can look forward to many more". No Solid Snake in sight, however, as this one's all about Raiden. Apparently a poll of Xbox users confirmed that we don't like  old guys with moustaches and headbands in our games*. Whether or not this is an Xbox 360 exclusive remains a mystery, however.

I can bet you that somewhere, someone promptly tore up their Hideo Kojima posters and threatened to kill themselves on Twitter. Ah, fandom.

* Okay, I made that bit up, but does anyone seriously want to disagree? Anyone? Exactly.
