For the past decade or so there have been three major markets that have dominated both the production and sales of computer games. The USA is known best for its action games and first person shooters. Europe is similar, but is known for slightly more quirky affair. Japan is traditionally revered the most with its innovative games that look and feel beautiful. Things are changing though as new markets such as China and India enter the fray. The US and Europe are adapting their games to take advantage of online gaming and more powerful hardware. IMO the Japanese are not. In the past year or so most major Japanese games have been Hi Def versions of their old games ...  Read the complete review

Instead of talking about a whole series like my last review I am going to go into detail about a great game in a great series, Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots. Hideo Kojima announced that this will be the last installment in the Metal Gear franchise because he would not want to kill a good thing. This game is not only the best in the series but it will give you hours and hours of game time, secrets and duologue. The game like all other games (except for MGS2 which toward the end of the game you played as Jack Raiden) Solid Snake is the protagonist of the epic story. He (again) is tracking down Liquid Ocelot (Liquid Snake [his clone ...  Read the complete review

There is only two words to describe this game "insanely magnificent". Konami has hit the jackpot with this one, I think the PS3 has finally allowed Kojomi to develop the type of game play and story telling he envisaged when he developed the first metal gear solid game. The game strengths: * excellent live game graphics with attention to minute details * Superb movements for the game characters, it is tricky at first moving the camera and player at the same time, but after a while you realise that it gives you more freedom of where you are going and what you can see * Vast amounts of weapons that can be found, purchased ...  Read the complete review

This is the last game in the Metal Gear Solid franchise and what a game!! The gameplay is outstanding especially Snake's suit! The only problem I have, and it was a major problem, was the animated segments which cropped up so frequently I was pulling my hair out by the end of the game! After every segment you played you had to watch a animated flim, basicly to pad out the game so you knew the story, however you could not skip through the animations and I found them so irritating!! You would just start getting in to the gameplay then you would have to sit through ten minutes of nonsense before you could start playing again. The end credits lasted for around fourty five ...  Read the complete review

Truly a masterpiece created by Hideo Kojima! The legendary hero Snake goes on a mission that one will never forget after playing through this game. All new battlefields, and all new gear in this game to experience. The cinematics seem like I'm watching a movie, and they're to perfection! What else is new about this game from the others? Well other than the single player being an incredible experience, and artwork in video game history. In this title you can customize new weapons, and advanced gadgets that assist you in your missions which I found to be very neat. This may be one of the best PS3 games out now, and the reason why to get a PS3 is because of this epic ..  Read the complete review
