[PS3] Get an eight-minute dose of combat-heavy, high-action footage

Want to see giant robots beating up squads of mujahedeen? Then check out our brand new trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which showcases the insane skills of Solid Snake's most imposing enemies ever: the weirdly leggy robot assault drones.

We're still not sure if it's blood the drones leak, or just oil - or even which would be worse - but the sight of one of these monsters high-kicking a soldier dead is at once disturbing and thrilling (if not nearly as bizarre as seeing them triumphantly fart in unison). Go hit the Movies tab and see the carnage for yourself.

From previous trailers, and the epilogue of this one, the situation looks massively grim. Snake is aging, nurturing a hacking smoker's cough and seems to regularly need a vicious-looking injection just to stay on his battle-weary feet. And he's no match for the robots, needing his cloaking tech-suit to escape their awesome power. Expect more soon on what can only be the biggest game of 2007.
