OMFG ENOUGH EXPOSITION. Where is the GAME in this GAME? ( PS3 )
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. I finally finished MGS 4 last night. After skipping the last 2 cut scenes and having to sit through the unskippable/fast forwardable end credits (which I ended up pausing my console so I could pick up my kid from school), and THEN getting to ...

Badly In Need of Editors ( PS3 )
There's a gem of a "stealth action on the battlefield" game buried deep within this title.  It has an excellent amount of combat depth, an extensive moveset, and a complex weapon upgrading system that makes the battlefield stealth a blast to play and gives it tons of replayability.Unfortunately, that excellent ...

MGS4 blurs the line between cinematography and gameplay. ( PS3 )
Metal Gear Solid has always been praised (and sometimes bashed) by it's long cutscenes, movie-style cinematography and mind bending plot twists. Metal Gear Solid 4 continues this trend by not only reaching this goal, but by blasting it into hyper-space. But what hasn't been done well in a Metal Gear ...

http://patricknguyen.wordpress.com/2008/06/14/review-metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots/Metal Gear. Two words that make hearts jump.
