Rolled credits on Snake Eater.

Easily the best of the pre-PS3 trilogy in terms of gameplay and presentation. Story also did a great job showing Naked Snake's evolution into Big Boss.

All in all, real glad to have finally tackled the first three MGS titles after all these years.

20 years ago, one of gaming’s most consequential pieces of hardware leapt onto the scene.

The 360 didn’t just play host to trendsetters such as Gears of War, BioShock, Halo, and Oblivion. It also rendered the act of play interconnected and global in perpetuity.

Jump in forever.

Rolled credits on MGS2: Sons of Liberty.

Compared to the original, the sequel was a slower burn (at least on the narrative front). But once those revelations kick in, man. Nothing like it.

No wonder it was the talk of the town in '01 (and not just because of *that* switcheroo).

Replaying MGR: Revengeance. Still holds up to this day. It and Vanquish are proof that the 360 days spoiled us with peak action.

Also doesn’t hurt that, as with MGS titles, it has something to say about society and world affairs.
