This morning, Amazon began to list the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Rising for the Xbox 360 for $59.99. No official release date is given.
Kojima officially announced the game at Microsoft's E3 2009 press conference, after running various countdowns for the announcement on a Konami website. The game will be released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC and will star Raiden.
Both Kojima and Kenichiro Imaizumi will be producing the game. Kojima stated that he became involved with Rising because "it's a completely different kind of action than what has appeared in the series so far" and also stated that he will be more involved in the development of the game than a normal video game producer would be.

Halo Wars Limited Edition Content Revealed!
In addition to the screenshot released a week ago, more details regarding the contents of the Halo Wars Limited Edition have been revealed courtesy of many online retailers (including Amazon)!
In addition, it looks like the scheduled release date for Halo Wars has slipped to March 3, 2009.
The Limited Edition includes:
- Three New “Halo 3” Multiplayer Maps – Be one of the first to experience the Mythic Map Pack from Bungie which includes three new maps, “Assembly,” “Orbital” and “Sandbox”
- Halo Wars: Genesis – a beautiful graphic novel by Phil Noto, Graeme Devine and Eric Nylund chronicling the first military campaign against the Covenant. The novel centers around the Sprit of Fire on a mission to discover why the Covenant are so interested in the world of Harvest
- Unique In-game Vehicle – “Honor Guard” Wraith
- Six Leader Cards – Leaders possess elite skills which can turn the tides of battle
- Spirit of Fire Patch – Start the journey as an official Spirit of Fire crew member
Halo Wars is a strategy game based on the Halo universe. In campaign mode, players will command the armies of the UNSC warship "Spirit of Fire," consisting of familiar and new UNSC units in its initial encounters against the Covenant, an alien coalition threatening to obliterate mankind. Halo Wars will immerse gamers in an early period of the Halo universe, allowing them to experience events leading up to the first Halo title for Xbox.
With the guidance of Serina, a spirited artificial intelligence (AI) persona, gamers will direct legions of UNSC soldiers, Warthogs, Scorpions and more, each group having its own strengths and uses in battle. Adventurous commanders can also call upon ancient Forerunner technology, if they are fortunate enough to find it hidden throughout the battlefield.
Covenant forces are also waiting for players to lead them into battle in multiplayer skirmishes via the New Xbox Experience. Call upon an arsenal of new and familiar Covenant units such as Grunts, Elites, Ghosts and even Scarabs to defeat foes on the battlefield. Strategic-minded players who react well under pressure will emerge victorious.
Created from the ground up for the Xbox 360 console and controller, Halo Wars is being developed by the real-time strategy developer Ensemble Studios. Halo Wars can be played online through the New Xbox Experience and the single-player campaign.
Halo Wars Features:
- New take on a legendary world. Set in the iconic Halo universe, Halo Wars predates the original first-person shooter Halo. Fans of the franchise will have the opportunity to experience the early battles between the UNSC and Covenant.
- Players join the crew onboard the “Spirit of Fire,” a Phoenix-class colony ship converted for UNSC military use and guided by the AI persona Serina. The “Halo Wars” story line follows the Spirit of Fire’s discovery of an ancient artifact during a journey to the planet Harvest, the first planet to be attacked by the Covenant.
- Strategic command of armies in large-scale combat. Halo Wars puts gamers in command of the battlefield over an arsenal of UNSC units and vehicles as they engage Covenant forces. They can counter and crush their opponent by tactically fielding the superior army. Players can also choose among Leaders that possess elite skills which can turn the tides of battle. Using various combinations of Leaders and units, players can create countless strategies tailored to their preferred playing styles and personalized strategies.
- Challenge friends to skirmishes using the New Xbox Experience. See who the superior commander is through multiplayer online skirmishes supporting up to 6 players with the New Xbox Experience. Players can choose to command either unique civilization, UNSC or Covenant, each with unique attributes and strategic characteristics. Ancient Forerunner technology can also be found to create unique units to gain an upper hand in battle.
- Groundbreaking strategy game for the Xbox 360. Since inception, Halo Wars was explicitly designed to cater to console gamers and bring to the Xbox 360 a genre that has typically been played on the PC. Gamers can easily command and manage powerful armies, effortlessly control troops and incredible machines, engage in epic battles and expand their empire using an intuitive user interface for the Xbox 360.

Will Xbox LIVE Fail Come December 25th?
Do you recall what happened last Christmas? If not, here is a quick reminder...
The craptacular down time lasted longer than many of us care to remember. The Halo 3 surge combined with the influx of new Xbox LIVE members was just too much for the super secret Xbox LIVE data center to handle.
This year, the Xbox LIVE team will have an equally large surge of new activity thanks in large part to:
- Gears of War 2
- The biggest game of the year for Xbox 360 fanboys will certainly bring on a ton of Xbox LIVE server activity.
- New Xbox LIVE experience
- Starting November 19, 2008, a good amount of existing Xbox LIVE users will download the new Xbox experience. Features include customizable animated avatars, slick new navigation, support for 8 person Xbox LIVE party chat, in addition to...
- Netflix
- Netflix movie streaming will support up to 12,000 movie and tv episodes...
- Family Friendly Holiday Bundles
- The cheap $199 Xbox 360 Arcade Holiday Bundle package will certainly ensure that come December 25th 2008, you can expect a greater influx of new Xbox 360 users compared to holiday '07. This massive influx of users will be creating their silver account, customizing their avatars, downloading the latest game demos, and generally causing a massive surge in Xbox LIVE activity.
So, now that we have taken a look back at the past, and a look into the future, will Major Nelson, E, and the rest of the Xbox LIVE team be able to keep us happily gaming into 2009?
We certainly hope so.......
