And us 5-1, but let's just gloss over that part for now... Fancy getting rid of a thoroughly decent guy with the right ethics and attitude, who somehow turned a bunch of wasters and thugs into an effective side, and replacing him with a thoroughly unpleasant berk who rarely has a good word to say about anyone but himself, and who presumably realises that he isn't wanted by the players, coaching staff or fans. It's very rare that I actually feel for our friends in the north, but this is all too reminiscent of when Howard "I think I've just seen a guillemot" Wilkinson took over as our manager. And we all know how that one turned out.

Cape Fear - having seen the Simpsons spoof before the movie, I was a bit disappointed not to have seen Robert De Niro step on a garden rake...

I can't quite work out how Other Broyles (or what was left of him ) ended up in the police van after Fauxlivia crossed over - it's confusing me no end.

Hopefully I didn't ramble on too much or state the obvious - I actually spent a couple of weeks revisiting the first three games in preparation for MGS4, so it was all fresh in my mind.

It sure is hard work trying to catch up with all the great games I've missed out on.

Found a few more from the same set... The Room Magazine #12 - "Flesh of the Orchid" (Nudity) http://img289.imagevenue.com/img.php?image...2_122_388lo.jpg

"Listen, we all know what's probably gone on. It was amazing that suddenly two such wealthy countries have ended up with the World Cup there. It's like going on X Factor, coming on, doing what you do. You're either good or you're not good. It's not a case then you go back, meet up with the judges for a couple of days and have a chat and say, 'You should be voting for me really. I'm a sexy bird, I'll get my gear off for you'. What's it all about?" - Sir Harold Redknapp P.S. Pardew on a five-year contract - that's gotta hurt.

I think you may have just made a sale there, Don. I'll give it a go as soon as I'm done with Uncharted 2.

Yep, played them all and pretty much hung on every moment of each. My favourites in order are 4, 1, 3 and 2, but, as is always the case with such a story-heavy series, you'd be better off playing through them in order if at all possible, as important elements from previous titles show up throughout. MGS2 was a real 'love it or hate it' experience, and if any game in the series does put you off powering through the whole saga, it'll be this one. In my own humble opinion, it's something of a flawed gem, very much storyline-driven with a heavy emphasis on 'bait and switch' and those much-maligned cutscenes. They were used to tell a good story and always felt relevant but they were also quite lengthy and very numerous, which was never going to be everyone's cup of tea. In spite of the brutally uncompromising and occasionally trippy nature of it all, I enjoyed the gameplay and the epic/preposterous (delete as appropriate) story arc so much that I was willing to overlook Kojima's excesses. Snake Eater was in many ways, the absolute antithesis of MGS2, with tons of hands-on stuff and a relatively firm grounding in reality. The main focus is on camouflage and surviving by foraging for useful items, and though the game's much-vaunted "close quarters combat" system is far from perfect, it's also crammed with genuinely scary moments and memorable boss fights. The first time I fought "The End", I honestly thought my game was broken. Which brings us to MGS4. You know, I hesitate to call it a masterpiece simply because it feels like I'm setting it up for a fall, but I just loved every minute of the damn thing. Once again the cutscenes are fairly lengthy, but this time it's because the game represents the end of Solid Snake's story, and thus every loose end they created in the previous games had to be tied up. And as you can imagine, that's a lot of loose ends. As a stand alone title, MGS1 is difficult to top but I found 4 the most enjoyable - it was just so packed with history and evocative moments that as a long time fan I couldn't help but be awestruck. You just have to play it. And on a side note, I'm a bit surprised to see Raiden as the main character in Rising. He became quite the hate figure after the second game.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising Trailer - E3 2010

Metal Gear Solid The Metal Gear​ series is a critically acclaimed series of stealth games created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. In the series, the player takes control of a Special Forces Operative (Solid Snake in most games) repeatedly facing off against the latest incarnation of the eponymous superweapon "Metal Gear": a bipedal walking tank with nuclear launching capabilities. The series is famous for pioneering the stealth game genre, for its lengthy cinematic cut scenes, intricate storylines and its exploration of the nature of politics, warfare, environmentalism, censorship, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, loyalty, reality, subjective vs. universal truths and other philosophical themes. The series has achieved great success, selling more of 50 million copies as of 2010. Games The original Metal Gear, designed by Hideo Kojima, debuted in 1987 for the MSX2 computer platform in Japan and Europe. A heavily modified port produced by a different team was released briefly after for Nintendo's Family Computer in Japan and its counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), in North America and Europe. Konami then decided to produce a sequel for the NES, titled Snake's Revenge, which was also done without Kojima's involvement and released in 1990 in North America and Europe. One of the designers who worked on Snake's Revenge became acquainted with Hideo Kojima and asked him to do a "real Metal Gear sequel". Kojima accepted his request and began development on his own sequel, titled Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, released in Japan for the MSX2 in 1990. After Metal Gear 2, Hideo Kojima worked on other projects (notably Snatcher and Policenauts) before directing his third Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Solid, which was released for the PlayStation in 1998. The success of Metal Gear Solid inspired a series of sequels and a prequel on the PlayStation home consoles as well as several portable games. Metal Gear Solid was followed by Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and the prequel Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for PlayStation 2. The series storyline was finally concluded in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 3. Expanded versions and remakes of the games were produced as well such as Integral, Substance and Subsistence. Several portable games were also produced and are mostly set outside the series' main storyline. Metal Gear: Ghost Babel tried to convey the features of Metal Gear Solid to the limited Game Boy Color. After that several games were released for Sony's PlayStation Portable. Metal Gear Acid and its sequel used turn-based strategy-mechanics in a heavy departure from the series' style. With the release of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PlayStation Portable, the series 3D-action formula was first conveyed on a hand-held console and featured, unlike all previous hand-held games, a canonical story. On May 18, 2009, a teaser site for the following installment in the Metal Gear series was uploaded by Kojima Production. The site has so far consisted of a series of countdowns leading to several flashing letters and the images of two characters looking like a middle-aged Big Boss and a cyborg Raiden. An article published in the July 2009 issue of Famitsu PSP + PS3 covers the content of the site and features an interview with Hideo Kojima. The interview, revealing too many details, is heavily censored and was published that way as a request by Kojima, who is directing and designing the new game. Famitsu is to publish the full interview in its following issue. The new game was eventually revealed to be Metal Gear Solid: Rising, which was announced on June 1, 2009 at E3, during the Microsoft Press Conference. During the Sony Press Conference, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was announced and confirmed to be directed, written and produced by Hideo Kojima; it will not be a spin-off game. At E3 2010, a demo entitled "Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater - The Naked Sample" was shown for the Nintendo 3DS. The official E3 Kojima site later released screenshots and official art for the demo. Kojima did state however, that this was not a preview for a full game but just a sample of what could be done on the 3DS hardware.

By no means am I the biggest FPS fan in the world, but I've heard so many amazing things about this series that I feel like giving it a whirl.
