THE BUZZ: This time, Konami has gone a little too far in their promotion of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance—they cut off Raiden’s arm and sent it to us!

EGM’s TAKE: Working at a video game magazine/website, you often get strange, unusual, or downright bizarre things sent to you by game developers and publishers. Today is no exception, as you can see by the arm of Metal Gear Rising protagonist Raiden that we were sent.

This unexpected present is tied in some way to the viral-style “Make It Right” video that was released yesterday for the game (which you cans see be clicking here). What does this all mean? Who knows—I’m just glad to finally have another helping hand around the EGM offices.

Eric L. Patterson got his start via self-publishing game-related fanzines in junior high, and now has one goal in life: making sure EGM has as much coverage of niche Japanese games as he can convince them to fit in. Eric’s also active in the gaming community on a personal level, being an outspoken voice on topics such as equality in gaming and consumer rights. Stalk him on Twitter: @pikoeri.
