Snake gets real on your PSP on Dec. 5

Konami has sent word that the next chapter in their cash cow Metal Gear will be coming to PSP users on Dec. 5. Featuring the ability to go online and set up squads and other fancy stuff, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is an ambitious undertaking for Konami and the PSP and by all means should serve as somewhat of a life preserver for the sinking system.

Check out the sickening pitch:

A full-blown action game for the PSP, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops not only features a top-notch story and impeccable single-player gameplay, but it also delivers groundbreaking multi-player online play that will let gamers recruit their own comrades to create a unique fighting force. 

So, there you have it. Prepare to dust off the ol’ PSP.
