Kojima looks like he's hit that "sweet spot" in the life-cycle of a
videogame designer - the tools, the context, the storyline and the
geopolitical moment are all crystallizing into something new. There's an
eye-popping trailer at the main website (requires a fast connection,
alas). Don't be fooled by the gunplay -- Kojima's games are
anti-war/anti-imperial parables, through and through:
