A total of nine PC wallpapers, three PSP wallpapers, a iPod Touch wallpaper, two screensavers and 6 music tracks are all yours for the taking if you complete the missions at the recently updated Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots site.

A preview of the wallpapers.

Next up, the two screensavers …

The link for the 1024×768 sized version of the second screensaver doesn’t seem to be working, hence the cropped image while installing the 1600×1200 version on my desktop.

The unlockable music tracks Sin, Confrontation, Atonement, At Dawn together with Nano Machine and Patriots BGMs are not downloadable and are only available for listening at the site itself together with other tracks like Haven Troopers and Drebin 893 (Get Item Box > My Page after completing the five training missions)

All goodies can be unlocked by helping Grandpa Snake clear the five training missions through a series of multiple choice questions and collecting a varying number of Drebin Points™ for each choice. As usual, the stealthy options, preferably with MGS4-specific toys like the chameleonic OctoCamo suit, work best Wallpapers and screensavers cost 5000 and 10000 Drebin Points™ respectively. For extra points, you can always play the additional special missions but it’s too reflex-oriented for my liking.

The above wallpapers complement the ones downloadable from the Kojima Productions site. I much prefer the wallpapers below since each character is accompanied by his/her name written in stylish and attractive calligraphy.
