No this is not a resurfacing of the
Metal Gear Solid 4 rumor during its launch week, but according to
Ripten the original 1998 Playstation One MGS title might be making its way to Xbox Live Arcade. Claiming to have seen a build on Microsoft's developers only partnernet we decided to have a look for ourselves and unfortunately did not find it, so either the rumor is false, or it was removed. With Soul Calibur and Bionic Commando get an XBLA makeover Metal Gear Solid wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Take-Two's Q2 2008 financial results revealed its net revenue more than doubled compared to last year (from $205.4 million to $539.8 million), not surprisingly led by GTA IV which has sold 8.5 million copies so far. Bad news for X360 owners as the platform exclusive content updates are getting pushed until Q1 2009 (between Nov 1, 2008 and Jan. 31, 2009), "in order to provide a better balance in Take-Two's release schedule." Bioshock, which so far has sold 2.2 million copies, will become a trilogy as Take Two CEO Zelnick hints at a 3rd title in the franchise to coincide with the,
previously rumored, but now confirmed movie.
