    When Too Much Hype is a Bad Thing: A Personal Regret I try to be in tune with the gaming community, and I’ve made my thoughts clear as to how I feel about the game and read what others think as well, and I came across a comment that really stood out in my mind, with that being that Metal Gear Solid 4 is more of a spectacle than anything else. I can’t say I disagree with this remark in any sense. It’s the series’ own fault as to why it feels this way as well.... Read more

    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is both a remarkable and deserving finale to what has been a superb series. The game does a superb job of tying up the loose ends and there's so much going here it could have easily been spread over two games instead of being squashed into one. Most of the criticisms levelled at the series over the years such as the camera angles and the controls have been sorted out and the game is the most playable and user friendly in the whole...

    Personally, I would much rather beat the game again, but on a harder setting, than play the multi-player, but it is a great addition that will keep you from selling the game. Read more

    It has been a long time coming. Fans of Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear series have been waiting what seems like an eternity for the conclusion of this beloved franchise. Ever since it was announced nearly two years ago, we have been waiting with utmost patience. Clinging onto every trailer that came out, trying to decipher how Snake's final mission would play out. Now after spending two full days entrenched in the game and finally reaching the conclusion it was not entirely... Read more

    I Have played the game and i wasnt particularly a MGS Fan but i think the gameplay is good and the storyline is good as well but like many other reviews i must agree it has too many cutscenes but thankfully you can skip these. THe Graphics are also good and it does get interesting as you go through the game. The first part is really annoying with a tv programme and many cutscenes but otherwise i think it is a great game and the online is fantastic as well. Read more
