Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Release Date Announced

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, featuring HD revamps of five classic Metal Gear titles (Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 and MGS: Peace Walker) has finally been given a concrete release date. February 3rd, 2012 is when the collection will hit your Xbox 360 or PS3 screen, giving gamers who may never have owned a Playstation 2 (an admittedly small group) the chance to experience the greatness of MGS 2 and 3 for the first time and the rest of us the chance to reminisce.


The strength of the collection will undoubtedly come from the quality of the games themselves, although the absence of the first Metal Gear Solid, the game which introduced many to the franchise, is a little distressing and must be due to that game's transformation into the Gamecube hit Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.
