Two Weeks Later

I saw too much Hideo Kojima at E3. First he's gassing up Metal Gear Solid: Rising at the Microsoft show, then he's in the 3DS commercial at the Nintendo show. I try to get away from it all by going on Twitter and all I see is #MetalGearSolidRising & #HideoKojima. I didn't know what to do. I started thinking about where I was in the Metal Gear Solid series. I revisited the first Metal Gear Solid on the PSP, but I'm still not buying Peace Walker. What about Metal Gear Solid 4? I never finished the last act. Maybe now's the time to see how Old Snake is doing.

I rented Metal Gear Solid 4 on Friday. The game is a classic. It felt like I've been playing it for the past two years. I managed to finish the first two acts in two days. I'm still on the 3rd act as of right now. I'll probably be at the 4th Act by the time the sun comes up. Wish me luck.

I sent Alan Wake back to GameFly. It's been in my backseat for at least a week. That game is wack. It's not worthy of an individual post so I'll review it here. The game took 5 years to develop. The developers spent at least four and a half of those years trying to figure out how to make the game interesting. It's a pathetic Silent Hill clone at best. I can't believe that game even made it's way into my 360. I want an apology from Microsoft Game Studios for deciding to publish such garbage. I'll settle for a refund for my HD DVD drive.
