First, it was E3. Now, it's the San Diego Comic-Con. This year's Comic-Con is home to the Metal Gear Online 2008 Exhibition Tournament. The tournament is one which focuses on competitive gameplay as Konami has upped the ante with prizes going to the top players. Expect hefty competition. The tournament began Thursday and comes to a close Saturday. It's chock full of prize money and Limited Edition Metal Gear goods.

The tournament, which is hosted by Konami and Major League Gaming (MLG), is not just about competition either. Players will have the honor of meeting with the ever-creative Hideo Kojima, prior to the commencement of the fray. Within the fray, players will contend for top prizes in Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch gameplay. So, we can conclude that there will be madness and sheer pleasure as gamers compete for the top prizes, or just go away with the MGO Exhibition experience.

Times, prize packages and game types are listed below.
