Metal………………..Gear? ( PS3 )
Metal Gear Solid 4, allegedly the final Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake, is a staggering artistic achievement, unique in narrative ambition and cinematic excess. It follows Snake, now an old man due to premature aging brought on by a government conspiracy involving blah blah blah. Actually, while the ...

A great and fun game, even if you didn't play the other MGS games ( PS3 )
*As a little disclaimer, this is the only MGS game that I've played all the way through. I played a little of the first one on PC, and from what I played it was pretty good. Also, I'm not going to talk about the multi-player, because in over an hour ...

Some legends are meant to die ( PS3 )
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a stealth action game, just like its predecessors. Also much like its predecessors, it contains many, many lengthy cut scenes. About half of this roughly 15 to 20-hour game will be spent watching, not playing. Even for series veterans, this is ...
