This is no fake. It's a real, rock-solid metal briefcase with its own key. Eyeballing it, I'd say it measures maybe around 8 inches by 4 inches.

After turning the key, I opened it to find this. It's a promo kit for Risk: Metal Gear Solid limited edition!

On the inside, there's a custom-molded foam piece holding three things. The first is this game token in the shape of an Arsenal Ship from MGS4.

The third item in the box is this selection of character cards from the game.

A paper inside the mail package says that this game is available for pre-order starting today and running until November 15th. It also notes that the object of Risk: Metal Gear Solid is to “control the Outer Haven and take over the world.”

That name probably doesn’t ring a bell to some of you but anyone who’s played Metal Gear Solid will recognize that name as the guy who “plays” Solid Snake. Hayter may have become famous for voicing Solid Snake in the various Metal Gear Solid games but he’s much more than a voice actor. He’s actually an accomplished writer too. He helped write the scripts for both X-Men and X2 and just this month you’ve seen his name again on the big screen because he was one of the writers of the Watchmen live action movie.

Hayter now wants to capitalize on his burgeoning geek celebrity by putting up his very own production company. Dark Hero Studios is a partnership between Hayter and Watchmen producer Benedict Carver. The new company will focus on video game projects as well as projects for film, TV and the internet. The company will reportedly focus on the action, scifi and horror genres for their video game projects.

One of Dark Hero’s first project is Demonology. Still no information if this is going to be an action orient title or an RPG. Hayter confirmed though that their expectation is for Demonolog to be spun off eventually to other projects aside from games, namely, movies, comics.
