Metal Gear Solid review
Stuck somewhere between awkward social commentary and a one-series war against interactivity.

Metal Gear Solid review
This alleged PSX "classic" has been ravaged by the years, made totally irrelevant in less than a decade. Even when Metal Gear Solid first hit, consensus was it was "too easy" and contained "too little gameplay"; even though either of those…

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review
Regarding Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty I have a dilemma. It’s not a bad game by any means, but it just doesn’t have the same flair its predecessor had. It’s true that some features, like stealth and basic combat, are remarkably…

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review
If nothing else, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is interesting. The games-as-art movement hadn't even gotten off the ground in 2001, and doing what director Hideo Kojima did with this one takes balls so huge that I expect to see him…

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty review
The agonizing ride on the blue-ball express known as Metal Gear Solid is but a mere leg of the epic, despair-inducing journey of Metal Gear Solid 2. To be fair, MGS at least had an intelligible storyline and characters who did not randomly…

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater review
The most recent entry in the Metal Gear lineup is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I thought the title was a joke when the game was announced. The same goes for all of the gameplay videos showing Snake, our mullet-cut hero, eating snakes…

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater review
No massive conspiracies revolving around a staged oil spill and its subsequent cleanup structure, no horribly wrong talk of genetics and cloning, just a cool backstory that gives you a reason for being there and a reason for kicking ass.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater review
"There's a saying in the Orient: Loyalty to the end." "Being...patriotic?" "It means devoting oneself to one's country." At the beginning of the game, Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater asks you, "What is it like to be a…

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence review
It has been nearly five years since the release of Metal Gear Solid 3, and in that time I can think of no game I’ve enjoyed more. The gameplay and narrative of MGS3 is far above those of the previous games, though I don’t mean them…

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence review
As a guy who broke his teeth on the old-school games of past generations, I was ecstatic to learn that Konami included two Metal Gear games originally released for the eight-bit MSX computer gaming system. The first game (featuring Snake's…

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots review
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots can best be described as an average game that has been carried by the legacy of its predecessors. While it utilizes many of the old-school storytelling and gameplay elements that made other games in…

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots review
Not to make excuses, but I somehow doubt that any of the issues I've mentioned—the sometimes less than brilliant story, the shift away from gameplay toward the end, the lack of challange—will be a surprise or an issue to any long-time fan…

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes review
At first, the game's brevity and lack of resolution made me question why it was released as a standalone title. But as I played, I came to realize that despite adding elements from the popular shooters of the moment, this game is actually…

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes review
Metal Gear Solid games seem to have an overarching theme of defying expectations.

Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection review
Three games in one box for a mere $29.99 (plus tax) would seem like a situation that is full of win, likely epic win, especially when those games belong to such an auspicious series as Metal Gear Solid. Having only experienced the series…

Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection review
It was only a matter of time before Konami jumped on the HD remaster bandwagon started this generation by Sony with God of War Collection, and Konami picked the best candidate to go first. Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is a compilation no…
