Metal Gear Solid PSP finally arrives in Europe
The next eight days in handheld games
Okay, so we've tricked you into clicking on this story – MGS Portable Ops isn't out until next Friday.
But, in fairness, it isn't just cold, calculated deviousness on our part. We figured that anyone who didn't know about Portable Ops – one of the essential PSP purchases of the year, but released so long ago in the US that you'd be forgiven for thinking next week's European release is some kind of sequel – might find it worth reading up on the game now, so as to have plenty of time to place their pre-order with their favourite retailer. You'll find our review here.
Konami's game will undoubtedly grab most of the attention next week, but DS owners shouldn't feel disheartened. Things may be slow this Friday, but in seven day's time there'll be Final Fantasy III and the promising Diner Dash to distract you.
In the meantime, we promise to try and resist using cheap diverting tactics again.
