Yes, it's true. The first Metal Gear Solid game is going to be adapted into a novel. However, this isn't some rookie author putting the game's script in quotation marks. This will actually serve as a prequel to the first Metal Gear Solid, and add new info about the Metal Gear Universe - specifically, the opening chapters are on what exactly happened when the 3 Snakes were cloned from Big Boss. I'm looking forward to this thing, and I'm definitely buying it.
Here's the description from Amazon:
Quote: | This explosive Metal Gear Solid novel ventures beyond the thrilling videogame and delves into the dark heart of Solid Snake’s world!
Highly skilled former FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake is called out of retirement to do what he does best–neutralize a crisis of epic proportions. A deadly team of renegade FOXHOUND operatives has taken over the nuclear disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island in the icy Aleutians. If their demands aren’t met, a powerful, top-secret weapon will be unleashed upon the world.
Solid Snake’s mission is to breach the heavily fortified base to rescue hostages and to destroy the superweapon. His only obstacles are brainwashed commandos, DNA-enhanced troops, and six first-rate killers with extraordinary abilities. All alone in hostile territory, armed with nothing but his wits, Snake has only a snowball’s chance in hell of taking out his target and keeping nuclear nightfall from descending on the earth.
But nothing is as it seems. Somebody is hiding something. Somebody has a hidden agenda. And somebody wants Snake to learn secrets about his dark past–secrets that would shake any man to his core. |

Wait, so it's a novelization of the first game?
Do want, because my dad says no M-rated games. I'm deprived. :< |

Buh! Buh! Buh huh huh! I'll probably buy this after I get the game, first.
(I believe I saw this special package containing the main three games. I'll go ahead and get that, because it looks like a good deal.) |

More than a novelization. It actually fixes the main story of Metal Gear Solid, giving back story on the Les Enfants Terribles project when the Snakes were cloned from Big Boss. It also says how Snake knows Big Boss is his father, and actually makes Ocelot tell Snake about fighting Big Boss in MGS3.

$30 for a LITERALLY brand new PS1 game (They actually made Sony open up a black disc PS1 factory xD), Substance (about 500 different VR missions, an alternate single player mode where you play through as Snake, and an awesome Skateboarding minigame), and Subsistance (Downloadable Camouflage patterns for Snake, an Ape Escape minigame with Snake vs. Monkey, and Demo Theatre). It's one hell of a deal, my friend.
