The opportunity to meet a legend is a rare thing indeed. And when that legend is Hideo Kojima, then it is probably once in a lifetime. Konami has announced that the creator of the METAL GEAR SOLID series will be making two stops in North America as part of his world tour on behalf of the franchise's latest release, METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER for the PSP. The tour starts out in Japan and moves throughout Asia and North America before ending in Europe. Mr. Kojima will be at Best Buy and Uniqlo in New York on Friday June 11th. Two days later on the 13th, the famed developer will be at GameStop in Los Angeles. Autographs will be limited so you better get there early. Check out the details below.
