DESCRIPTION

Solid Snake returns as an older, battle-hardened veteran in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Series creator Hideo Kojima reprises his role as director as he brings the critically acclaimed stealth-action series to PlayStation 3 with a number of new elements. The futuristic setting now features expansive, war-torn environments with rival nations vying for control over both territory and technology. Sporting grizzled hair, wrinkles, and a moustache, the weary Snake also has an eye patch that pays homage to his character's inspiration, Escape from New York's antihero Snake Plissken.

Christened "Solid Eye" by Kojima, the eye patch serves as a multifunctional display that allows Snake to view infrared signals, radar, and more. As Snake sneaks through bombed out areas, interior locales, and other detailed environments, players will be able to shape the cinematic storyline through their in-game actions. Missions can be accomplished in multiple ways, and Snake's decisions during the course of play will influence how characters react to him. As in previous games, players can attack enemies in close quarters combat, wear disguises, perform acrobatic moves, use a variety of inventive gadgets, and call on familiar characters for assistance and information. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“I LOVE this charity. Plain and simple. way back 20 years ago when I was much younger, I was in the hospital for surgery. During my recovery, the best part of the recovery, was walking down to this room they had at the hospital. A hugh projection tv with a Nintendo hooked up and a bunch of games. It helped pass the time and eased my recovery (even if I had that [i]tasty[/i] hospital food).
Close to every year this is one of the charity's I donate to, others being the 501st and Toys for Tots. Unfortunately Colorado is a bit far away and I have a personal hatred for that state (long story-starts with a girl like they always do).”

“@Avitron I like CO, but if I had my way I'd be living in Seattle. The sun hurts my eyes, and I prefer the rain.

I'd encourage everyone who is not able to attend a Child's Play event in their area to visit their site and make a donation to a local hospital. They have a list of every affiliated hospital in the nation, and you can donate more than just cash, but games, systems and accessories as well. They usually also run an online charity auction in addition to the main auction in Seattle.

Here's the Child's Play address:

“@SnowWolf75 Kotaku is sponsoring the event, with all proceeds going to Child's Play. Here's the article, which I should have posted in the first place. Oh well.
