Posted December 12, 2011 by David Radd

Konami has rolled out a new website at www.metalgearsolid.com for fans of the Metal Gear Solid series all around the world. The site prominently feature a new “first-of-its-kind interactive game universe.”

The site features a layer of exploration, that allows users to explore the two century timeline of the universe, including pivotal events, characters, and storylines. Users can also submit their own memories of the series, and can even upload their own photos and videos.

Users can also use their Facebook account or a Twitter handle to socially promote elements of the site and they can "Like," Tweet, or Google +1 their content or the content of others.

It's a smart move by Konami to leverage its fans. Metal Gear Solid is a brand and an IP that has global appeal and Konami has to take advantage.
