In yet another sign of the times, the latest Metal Gear Solid game comes out today on the iPhone. Metal Gear Solid Touch is basically "just" a shooter, but Metal Gear games are almost never "just" something. Expect some sort of weirdness beyond this official description:

In Metal Gear Solid Touch, players can move a targeting sight and also switch to a sniper scope by manipulating the touch panel screen with their fingers. The game utilizes intuitive controls, making it easily enjoyable for anyone. There are 12 stages available at the start of the distribution and the locations and featured characters for each stage are based on the story of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots...Points are awarded upon completion of a stage and players can use the points that they have collected to obtain Metal Gear series wallpapers.

Yeah, it sounds pretty straightforward. Fingershooting. But take a look at the oddly cheerful yet disturbing website. It's almost enough to make a fellow wonder how long it's going to be before he has to get an iPhone for games.
