Are all you Snake fans ready for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.  Konami is gearing up for it’s release on September 1 with sharing the video games trailer with everyone from their YouTube channel.

Metal Gear Solid: Legacy Collection

The majority of gamers probably already have these in their collections.  However, if you don’t PlayStation is offering up the Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection this month.  So if you don’t have the games in your video game collection this would be a good time to pick them all up at once.  Thanks to “SneakingFox” on YouTube for the following trailer:

Metal Gear Solid Novel

Viz Media is releasing Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots novel, June 19th.  This title will be one that appeals not only to the anime/manga fan, but also your library’s gaming fans.  The project MSRP will be $15.99.  When you get it in at your library you could spotlight other gaming titles that have been made into novels (i.e. Resident Evil, MASS Effect, and Doom just to name a few that have been published over the years).

Gaming Art at the Smithsonian

If your library is in the D.C. area you will definitely want to let your gamers know about this upcoming exhibit at the Smithsonian Art Museum.  During March 16 – September 30 the Smithsonian will have an exhibit entitled “The Art of Video Games”.  During it’s opening weekend they will be having an additional event “GameFest”.  During “GameFest”, on March 17, from 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. the Art Museum will host Metal Gear Solid’s game series designer Hideo Kojima in the McEvoy Auditorium.  Follow the second link below to the Smithsonian’s Exhibitions page for more information.
