Generally speaking, reviewing a game on multiple platforms seems a bit daft, but given how Metal Gear Solid on the PlayStation remains one of my favourite games, I felt it apt to check out how it fared on the PC. While my expectations were low, as so many PC ports of console games are very clearly half-baked and lacking effort, Metal Gear Solid does them justice, and is one of the best console to PC ports that I've ever played.

In this stead, he will have to employ magnificent stealth skills, as ...  Read the complete review

This is a game everyone should play! Originally released for the Playstation back in 1998, it's now available on the PC.

Probably the best game out on the playstation finally comes out on the P.C. It is not just a plystation replica but also includes extra features, such as VR Missions included within the pack and also you can play it all in first-person mode. This is a brilliant game where instead of using brut force to win, you use stealth instead. The idea is to creep around, not getting spotted by guards and inflitarate the base. You can use a variety of weapons to win. This is a brillant game to have with lots of things to do. ...  Read the complete review
