Clearly a fan of the Metal Gear Solid Series, a Turkish prisoner escaped using a cardboard box.

“The 42-year-old Turkish citizen – who was serving a seven-year sentence – had been making stationery with other prisoners destined for the shops.

At the end of his shift, the inmate climbed into a cardboard box and was taken out of prison by express courier.

Shortly after it had passed through the prison gates, the inmate made his dash for freedom by cutting a big hole in the tarpaulin of the lorry and jumping off.”

Solid “Turkish” Snake is on the loose somewhere in western Germany, presumably in search of giant mecha.

Metal Gear Solid 4 looks amazing! This is definitely one of my fave MGS4 trailers so far because we see a lot of the characters who will play their part and boy are there a lot of ‘em! With characters from Metal Gear Solid 1, 2 and 3 making appearances, we can rest assured that the fourth installment will have the biggest cast of characters in a Metal Gear Solid game to date.

With this being the Metal gear Solid’s swan song there are more than a few loose ends to tie up and questions that need to be answered. Will Ocelot finally die? How did Snake age so fast? What the f**k happened to Raiden? Why won’t Vamp just die? Why is Olga’s daughter so damn ugly? Why is Eva still wearing plunging necklines at the age of 70? Is that black man what Michael Jackson would look like if he hadn’t dyed his skin, ruined his face with plastic surgery and kept his pet monkey?

Xbox 360 owners needn’t worry about missing out on some Solid Snake action. I’m pretty sure Metal Gear Solid 4: Supersubsistatenance will probably be releasing for the 360 in late 2008, early 2009.
