Next Gen Biz speculates on the odd buzz surrounding MGS4:

Is Kojima worried that his fans will find the demise of Solid Snake unpalatable, or its delivery disappointing? Or is this just another mad chapter in the ongoing document of Kojima Productions, to appear on the third Blu-ray of some distant special edition?
