games: Metal Gear Retrospective
This week sees the release of one of the most eagerly anticipated games of the year - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, a game whose importance and vision cannot be underestimated.
But trying to get a handle on the story of Hideo Kojima’s epic saga - which has spanned over 20 years of game releases - is pretty darn tricky, so here’s a quick recap of the series so far. Unlike Konami, we’ve managed to squeeze the story into just a few minutes, rather than 90!
Thanks to all the people we spoke to in the crowd at the HMV signing event, sorry we couldn’t include everyone’s comments!
Keep your eyes peeled for the review which should be up here next week, in the meantime, enjoy the game!

Did not follow the story much of MGS, but seeing the massive hype for MGS4 and the amazing graphics shown, it might just be one the games I will be picking up.
I have played the second game before and know the game is a stealth action sort of game and the main character is Solid Snake himself.
After watching this video, I can see the storyline is a little complicated and much deeper than I had thought, but I have always been into the stealth sort of games and just by looking at the graphics of MGS4 makes me want to add it to my list already. Nice retrospective!
