Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain marked what could possibly be the final Metal Gear game with Hideo Kojima’s involvement. However, Konami has stated that the Metal Gear franchise is far from over. That’s right, the universe of Metal Gear will live on and not just in pachinko form. But where could Konami take the …
Metal Gear Solid has traditionally been about successive corridors, lengthy cinematics, and narrative inertia. Each military compound, ruined city, or virgin forest would lead to the next and players would run or crawl or tiptoe headlong into an epic finale. Environments would be interactive and dense with secrets, but they would also be small and …
A great opening can really set the tone for any piece of art. Whether it be a films first scene or an albums initial track, the opening will be the first thing you engage with in an artists work, and as such, it has the potential to be the most important part of the package. …
There’s been a lot of controversy over the appearance of the new character, Quiet, in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Despite claims series creator Hideo Kojima that there’s a good reason narratively for the sniper’s hooker-like attire, many gamers remain skeptical.

I was rather late getting into the videogame scene. Despite time spent at friends’ houses playing Sonic and Donkey Kong Country on their Mega Drive and SNES, it wasn’t until much later – when the PlayStation was well and truly established – that I finally got on board. Games like Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider were great fun, and helped reinforce the all-important playground notion that twelve-year-old-me had picked the ‘right’ console (‘N64 still uses cartridges and can’t get proper FMV!’ we chanted).
Of the many trends that have taken off this console generation, one of the finest is certainly the idea of the HD Remake…and why wouldn’t it be? I mean, what’s not to love?
