I think back to the day when I first got Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. At first I was apprehensive at the thought of playing through a WW2 style FPS with M16s instead of Thompsons. However I was surprised to see all the advancements that were made simply by changing the locale. The same thrills and overall experience was still there in the single player. However, what kept me coming back to the game habitually was the multiplayer. So now let’s get back to the present where I am playing the PS3 version of Modern Warfare 2 (sans the Call of Duty apparently). What may have been the most hotly anticpated game of 2009 is now here and I’ve decided to review it…in a timely manner of course. So let me start out by saying…

So here we are, the last Metal Gear Solid game to feature Solid Snake, according to Kojima at least. Keeping true to its roots since the original Metal Gear Solid (MGS), Metal Gear Solid 4 launches on a Playstation format. The game is crammed with all sorts of spectacles for the eyes, ears, and if you like women wearing skin tight spandex, the genitals as well. As with so many others, we at Team Headshot found ourselves marking off days on the calendar, waiting until we could finally use Solid Snake to go after the Patriots and point out all the instances of characters pissing themselves as a direct result of Kojima’s lesser known urine fetish. Aside from all the oddities of the game such as crotch grabbing that we’ve seen in various trailers, the resulting game is a masterpiece. I usually don’t say that but for MGS4 I make the exception because at no point did I ever ask “hmm, I wonder how much longer the game is?” Instead, I kept asking for more as my eyes became bloodshot and I started hallucinating from a lack of sleep. All of the questions left lingering since the day MGS1 launched to be answered but in addition, Konami has made a game which not only fully utilizes the PS3 but also sends one of the videogame world’s icons out on a high note.
