Metal Gear Solid - It's a serious game about sneaking around and shooting people right?

Well, according to what I've just read and heard that's all about to change. Not radically, but just a part.

Take a look - http://www.gamesradar.com/news/ default.asp?subsectionid=157&articleid=63583&pagetype=2

Scroll down a bit on that page and what will you see...it's Solid Snake on Skateboard. Now, when I first saw these shots I thought "Yeah right, this is a joke isn't it" but I read it all through and it seems as though it's not.

This unlockable Skateboarding mode in Metal Gear Substance is one of many other modes of play.

If this is true...what on earth are they doing?!? It's like putting Lara Croft in Super Smash Brothers or something...

So, Snakeboarding. Any good?

They were going to put Joanna in Perfect Dark and they put Samus, she's a serious character.

It was probably like - If this guy can be good at it, be like him, he's cool on his Snakeboard, be like him.

And he's like the only guy in the world that can do it or has bothered to even try and do it.

Yes, some friends of mine were into them. It was basically the front and back of the skateboard connected by a pivot, allowing plenty of free movement.

If you could stand on the damn thing...

I'm sure there actually was a snakeboard a few years ago...another minor craze around here, like a skateboard, but with moving bits and curved. Bloody impossible.
