Metal Gear…?
So Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming out in 3 weeks and I’m more excited for it than I’ve been for a game in a long time. Seriously I’m frothing like a thousand blue planets here. This might just be residual excitement*. It also might be my very real fascination with a possibly perfect ending to the series**. I’m not sure, but in honor of it, I’m playing lots and lots of metal gear. I’m about to finish off Snake Eater, which I’ve been playing on Very Easy so that I can really mess with people. I bought a copy of VR Missions on ebay because it’s apparently one of the best puzzle games ever made. I’m finally going to open up that copy of Portable Ops to give it a try… Anyway, Metal Gear. Or should I say “Metal… Gear?”
* For the record, the game that I was the most excited for pre-release (of all games ever made) was Metal Gear Solid 2, a game where I watched the trailer probably hundreds of times over the course of the way-too-long wait.
** In the first trailer for MGS4, there’s a section where Snake puts a gun in his mouth. I’m hoping the game ends with him doing that, and then a hint appears at the bottom of the screen “Press X to Kill Yourself!”
