5. Olga (MGS2) For anyone who’s played MGS2 on Hard, the Olga battle is intense and incredibly challenging. On hard, She becomes a head shot sharpshooter and the battle elevates to Wild West Shooter proportions. Of course this isn’t even taking into account the amazing atmosphere, graphics and weather effects. 4. Fatman (MGS2) An incredibly […]
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a tough game to review for a few reasons:1. I am a huge MGS fan so my expectations are very high2. MGS4 is split over 5 distinct and different acts3. MGS4’s action and gameplay peaks early at about act 3 Please take a look at all my metal gear solid […]
—-SPOILERS AHEAD—- Well, a huge ship crashing into Raiden didn’t kill him after all. He returns in Act 5 without arms to help out Snake once again. Act 5 is definitely the shortest (gameplay wise) and most disappointing act so far. Again, MGS4 misses its opportunity to create a “classic” sneaking mission on the arsenal […]
Well the new locales and diversity of graphics continue. Gameplay changes once again as well and focuses on sneaking and fighting mechanized opponents. —-SPOILER ALERT—-Act 4 takes us back to Metal Gear Solid 1 to Shadow Moses in pursuit of Metal Gear Rex. Act 4 has a lot of nostalgic moments, but the best was […]
——-SPOILER ALERT—-So Act 3 definitely takes MGS4 into both another unrevealed locale and featured practically no cutscenes featured in any of the trailers (minus the shot of Big Mama in the church) so beware of spoilers. ——–SPOILERS START HERE——– So after finishing off Laughing Octopus in Act 2 and a daring escape w/ Drebin, Raiden, […]
Well Act I pretty much closed with Liquid driving all the soldiers crazy as seen in another trailer. This led to the next mission briefing which featured a scared Naomi Hunter on a handheld camera. Act 2 takes us to South America in search of Naomi Hunter. This locale is very reminiscent of MGS3: Snake […]
I have fought the Frogs and lived to tell about it. That’s about as far as I have made it into Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots campaign, so don’t worry there will be no spoilers. In fact, I don’t think I have seen a cutscene yet that hasn’t been included in one […]
Finally, the PS3 killer app is released tomorrow. Metal Gear Solid 4 is currently at 93/100 on Metacritic. Many of the reviewers are european magazines/websites, so hopefully when the US publications start reviewing it, the score will be pushed up some more. Needless to say, I’ll be picking up my copy on Thursday and will […]
The Metal Gear Online Beta finally launched Friday after a delay and numerous and complex login issues. Luckily, I had already acquired my Konami Id & game id, so I just had to login, create a character and hit start. Despite the clunkiness and ridiculous amount of login ids/names, the metal gear beta is a […]

You can’t play the game yet (that goes live April 21st for 2 weeks), but you […]
