The Metal Gear Solid Website Has Transfarred Into A Great Tome Of Information

The Metal Gear Solid Website got more than a new coat of paint, it’s all brand new. The biggest selling point, and it’s free so no money needed, has got to be the Interactive Timeline located at the SAGA link at the top. Everyone needs help with the Metal Gear Solid Timeline, except maybe Hideo Kojima himself, so it’s nice to see an easily referenced system for all your questions. However they went the extra mile and you can add your own MGS Memory to the timeline  including text, images and video. So far we couldn’t find anyone who had responded yet but we’re sure given time it will be a great place for fans of the series to leave their mark so that new fans can see those who have blazed the trail before them. You really need to check it out if you are even the slightest bit the Metal Gear fan and come on, everyone loves Snake, right?
