Metal Gear Solid: Remote Ops is a fictional video game set by Konami as an April Fool's Day joke. Konami planned a sequel to Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, but later on, scrapped the whole project. Around March 2007, a screenshot of a possible sequel to Portable Ops was leaked onto the Internet, showing Solid Snake, in his Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty attire and wielding a weapon similar to Snake's weapon in the 2005 Tokyo Game Show trailer of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The screenshot left a lot of questions by gamers about the existence of this possible Portable Ops sequel and the sequel itself being portrayed on the Wii console instead of the Playstation Portable.
Leak
According to The Snake Soup, an Konami insider had leaked a possible description of Remote Ops onto the Internet as follows:
*Metal Gear Solid: Remote Ops
*Release date: Q4 2008
*Platform: Wii
In 2001 players experienced the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty through the eyes of newcomer Raiden. Now events of the game will unfold through Solid Snake's eyes in this spiritual sequel to MGS: Portable Ops. Similar to Portable Ops, players will control Solid Snake as well as recruit and use their own handpicked squadron. In addition to a full-length single player mode illustrated by Ashley Wood and the multiplayer modes seen in previous titles, the game features unique gameplay elements using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller.
This description also left a lot of questions by gamers, as now it looked highly believable that a Portable Ops sequel was planned and in the development stages for the Wii console.
Konami's response
Ravi Singh, the writer of the Remote Ops news report on The Snake Soup, received a cease and desist letter from Konami concerning the leak of Remote Ops. The letter had asked Ravi Singh to put the news report down and to call a Konami number. He replied on his news-report that he would not do this and asked viewers to Digg the article to anger Konami operatives. Although the screenshot was highly believable, many Metal Gear Solid gamers where amused when first exposed to it. The screenshot itself could be another game, applied with MODs resembling the Metal Gear Solid structure. The item/weapon boxes at the bottom corners of the screen do not resemble that of the Metal Gear Solid series. The area is not an area that would be portrayed in the Metal Gear Solid series, although it could be a multiplayer stage as seen in Metal Gear Online. Snake's stance is a bit different, but if the whole Remote Ops thing was true, his stance could have been controlled through the Wii Remote. The screenshot itself is fake and looks believable, not something a graphics designer could create. This had been concluded that the game could have been a PC game, running a whole range of MODs resembling the whole Metal Gear Solid experience. And also, the red text at the top left of the image makes it look like an MGS multiplayer stage, saying things like Snake Killed Vulcan Raven etc. But one thing that points out it is fake is a minor spelling mistake. The last line says "Sniper Wolf killed (headshot) Meryl Silverburg with PSG1. Sliverburg is spelt wrong, as an H is missing meaning that the game could have been a screenshot of a PC running vast amounts of MODs resembling the MGS experience with the text later on written with an image editor. Later on, Konami classified Remote Ops as fake, an April Fool's joke.

Tales of the Dark Kensai
Tales of the Dark Kensai is a recent fantasy series surrounding the life of a character named Phasmatis Batara Kaerasti. In the first novel, Phasmatis loses his childhood home in a violent invasion and is slowly corrupted by the criminal element of the city. However, with his childhood training Phasmatis fights to retain his principles despite the evils around him, and finds himself faced against monsters and men with villainous intent. He is cursed, and has to wear a mask to keep anyone from sharing his curse. At the end ofOrigin of the Sword Saint Phasmatis abandons his former life to become an esoteric warrior known as a kensai.
In the second tale, the cursed swordsman travels the dangerous land of Afanadar to seek a cure for his blight. Dogged by guilt from his days as an assassin and by old enemies, Phasmatis worries that he has not been able to change his nature, and that the curse is driving him insane. Like the first novel, this is filled with battlescenes that are scrupulously detailed and character analysis that is consistently deep and engaging - on par with writers such as Anne Rice and Steven King. www.publishedauthors.net/secondtaleofthedarkkensai
The third tale somewhat takes its focus off of Phasmatis, though his role is still central to the plot. The kensai and his friends, one of his old mentors Talstran, a gnome from the second book named Gleebeck, and a druid named Gwynera decide to travel into the heartlands of the Tamian Empire to stop a violent war that is devastating the nations. www.publishedauthos.net/darkkensai3
Background:
The notion of the kensai is drawn initially from Japanese mythology, though the series is more rooted in the fantasy tradition, as well as Norse, English and Greek mythology. All three books consider problems of ethics, the problem of evil, theology, romanticism, and other topics of philosophy, as well as exploring the effects of psychological influences on character behavior.
Readers' Opinions:
Negatives:
For those who do not like long descriptions, the Tales of the Dark Kensai may get somewhat tedious at points, though usually the action is fast paced enough to overlook this. The main character's problems may strike the reader as overdramatic or unnecessarily melancholy, though this is balanced by other characters with lighter dispositions, and frequent, well-used humor. The biggest problem with the series is the amount of typos, primarily in the first novel, though a few do appear in the following novels. Also, the books are somewhat expensive.
Positives:
In a genre which is simply saturated, Cirilla manages to put new life into old themes, tackling serious issues that pertain to our society. Each battle seems fresh, and the dialogue, especially when it becomes philosophical and intense, is always incredibly engaging and inspires the reader into thinking.
While it is true that this is published by PublishAmerica, The Tales of the Dark Kensai is a genuinely excellent series which deserves attention and recognition. I do not see why simply having information about the novel poses any legal information, since this is a non-for-profit organization.
