Ghost in the Shell - Chronological Order

I’m a big fan of Ghost in the Shell for some time. After seeing the movies few years ago, I decided to go for it again and watch again the movies + series. But there was a problem. I had no idea how to watch Ghost in the Shell in chronological order. Should I see the movies first or the series… ? Hard question. After researching the web, I manage to find this list. So… here is how you should watch Ghost in the Shell in Chronological Order

1. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex,
>>(Ghost in the Shell S.A.C – The Laughing Man)
2. Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG,
>>(Ghost in the Shell S.A.C – Individual Eleven)
3. Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society,
4. Ghost in the Shell (movie),
5. Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising HD Trailer

•June 16, 2009 • Leave a Comment

This is the most anticipated game of the moment. I still can’t believe Konami is going to release the game for all platforms. There are a lot of speculations about the main character in MGS: Rising, but the general conclusion is that Raiden is the main protagonist of the game. I’m a little confused this, mainly because I loved Solid Snake so much in MGS4. Konami promise fans that they’ll get an entirely new adventure.

Info about MGS4 Case Mod:

The entire PS3 and controller is a combination of Carbon Fiber and Midnight Black done in our own digital camouflage technique.This is protected with nine coats of automotive DuPont Chroma Clear clearcoat. A full size Carbon Fiber Fox Hound logo appears amongst the digital camouflage. The final product is a uniform finish that reflects like a mirror.

The laser cut stainless steel Metal Gear Solid 4 marquee, Blu-Ray drive bezel and the metal accents are hand brushed to a brilliant industrial finish.

The PS3 is also signed by Yumi Kikuchi (Raging Beauty) and Hideo Kojima, and comes with tons of MGS4 accessories, like four bottles of the Regain energy drink and a GA-KO alarm clock.
