Author’s Note

Vikings: Battle for Asgard is sitting on my shelf and I can’t bring myself to play it so I have been filling my gaming needs with Warhawk; At least until last night when I had the urge to play Metal Gear Solid for the first time. I went online and checked up on the essential collection that was released but Gamefly isn’t carrying it so I can’t get it on the cheap. I called up my brother and lucky for me he was still holding onto our old PS1 copy of Metal Gear Solid. I drove over there and after checking out him using my PSP to play Crisis Core and taking the liberty to update his PS3, I return to enjoy retro goodness. I’ve got to say it holds up well with age not like my last attempt to get retro, Jak and Daxter. The codecs are still annoying as piss and if MGS4 still has O as the action/accept button and X as the back button I will scream but this is not the time for looking towards the future, its retro time; atleast till GTA4 is released.
