Created by the critically acclaimed video game director Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection showcases, for the first time, some of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles in beautiful high-definition.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is comprised of five games: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. It also contains the two classic retro games that kicked the complicated Metal Gear storyline in motion: Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which were originally released in Japan for the MSX home computer more than 20 years ago. The original Metal Gear was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988.

The stealth-based action series, which is one part G.I. Joe-styled military sci-fi and one part hardcore political drama, sees a cast of heroes executing solo sneaking missions through enemy installations in order to maintain world peace in the midst of international conflicts. Clones, super soldiers, cybernetic ninjas, and hulking, nuclear missile-firing robots are some of more colorful series aspects.

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, set for release on November 8th, 2011, comes in two editions: a $49.99 regular version, and a $79.99 Limited Edition that comes bundled with a 250 page art book.
