Metal Gear

June 24th, 2008

MGSMetal Gear series has always been the best gaming series in my gaming chart no matter what. Back when I was in primary school, I never played many games except Resident Evil, which is not really my type of game. I am not into horror games, but instead I prefer action games with lots of guns blazing, or games that require a lot of thinking, not just simply hack and slash or villain and hero type.

MGS4Metal Gear Solid fits into this 2 options, although not that much of guns blazing since it’s a stealth game. Still, MGS is the first game that opens my mind about stealth genre and how game cinematics is to be done. I never touched any stealth games before that and I believe stealth genre was made popular by MGS and a benchmark was set. You wanna make a stealth game? DO IT LIKE MGS! I especially love the plot since it involves a lot of war and political stuff based on the current world. Everything is logical and fits into your mind. This might sound exaggerating but seriously, I never played a game that nice before Metal Gear Solid.

12th of June marks the release of the finale episode of Metal Gear series, Metal Gear Solid 4, Sons of Patriots. I should be happy about this, BUT it is ONLY released in PS3, no PC or PS2! OH NO :(

All reviews have all been highly positive, some even go to the extend of “Masterpiece”. Example, GameSpot and IGN give a solid 10/10 for MGS4. In short, if you are a Metal Gear fan, you must get it, it’s just that simple!

There have been a few question marks left by previous MG games, like who are The Patriots? What happens to Olga’s daughter? Most important, how Snake ends his final mission? Dammit, I want a PS3!!! Why is MGS 4 only released on PS3? :( My next target is set, a PS3 + MGS4 game. After a bit of research, I find out that I can get it at RM 1,600. Time to save money!!
