\nYeah. The first one. The Playstation One game. I’d never really played it, although I scored a copy on EBay a number of years ago. My Playstation 3 plays PS1 games, so I gave it a go. The game actually looks pretty good with the PS3’s smoothing. But I played through until the part where you need a cigarette to see the lasers and quit. I’ve got no stomach for repeated fetch quests in games like that anymore. I do admit that I probably didn’t experience enough of the game to rate it fairly, but I give it a C-<\/strong>. Travesty for MGS fans, I’m sure.<\/p>\n

Metal Gear Solid 4<\/strong> got rave reviews, but I was really disappointed to find that the gameplay felt just like the older games in the series despite better graphics. As much as I really want to, it seems that I don’t like Metal Gear Solid Games. C-<\/p>\n

\nIt’s good that I have a chance here to write about Metro 2033<\/strong>, because I don’t think I’ve yet had a chance to discuss the game here. For the most part, I found it to be a passable shooter. But whatever thing about it that some people seemed to love – I just didn’t get. I got killed dozens of times because I wasn’t playing the game the way it wanted me to play it, and there was no indication anywhere as to how I was supposed to be playing. I got stuck and nearly gave up more times than I could count, but inevitably found my way past those points. I ended up stuck in a library where some demon was trying to force its way in. I know there was supposed to be some way to open this one door, but I never figured it out. I decided that the game was not fun enough to warrant the amount of frustrating effort I’d been putting into it. The game wasn’t absolutely horrible, so I’ll give it a C-<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
