Creator of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, Hideo Kojima and the lead artist on the series, Yoji Shinkawa will be visiting HMV's flagship Oxford Street store in London on Monday 2 June.

Hideo and Yoji will be at the store from 12 noon to meet games fans and sign pre-release HMV exclusive sleeves of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots.

In case you've been a bubble for the past few months, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots tells the final tale of series hero Solid Snake. Set in the near future where armies are run by huge business conglomerates and where soldiers are mere figures on a balance sheet, Snake is called upon for one final mission: eliminate his old adversary, Liquid Snake. Dramatic stuff.

If you're a big fan of the series and fancy meeting them, better get down to the HMV store early to get your hands on an exclusive sleeve. There will only be 300 available, and will be issued on a first-come-firs-served basis upon a £5 deposit being made to pre-order MGS4 at HMV.
