This is it then, twenty years of history coming to an epic conclusion in what is Snake’s (and perhaps even Kojima’s) Swan Song; a true masterpiece that will be revered for years to come like its predecessors, but one that will stand through the tests

So long Snake. Thank you and goodnight. You’ve given us a plethora of memories, and a handful of incredible games to remember you by. We’ll never forget trading mind games with Psycho Mantis, or the colossal mindfuck that was MGS2; and we’ll

After years of playing Metal Gear games, I thought I knew the drill: Infiltrate the base, rescue someone, destroy Metal Gear, and fight the last boss. This time-tested approach has won the hearts of gamers and earned Metal Gear Solid a spot on the

It's hard to overstate the gravity of Metal Gear Solid 4's release. It's arguably the biggest game of the year (yes, bigger than Grand Theft Auto IV even), and easily the biggest one for the PlayStation 3.

Upon finishing Snake Eater back in 2004, I was able to learn more about the background of what would eventually become known as the Patriots. But still there were a lot of questions to be answered. What happened with Raiden, especially after seeing the

Metal Gear Solid, the marmite of the gaming world, ask any gamer and it will be black and white, like it or hate it. Either way this is a constantly massive selling game and shows no signs of changing its style.

Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4) is a highly detailed game truly best viewed as a whole. While it's necessary to nitpick the convoluted story and over-dramatic voice acting in order to progress the medium, doing so for too long may significantly and
