If you thought the mother of all video games was released in late April, guess again. Metal Gear Solid 4: The Depends Years was released this week to much acclamation, hoopla, and scores of 10. Yes, it is the GTAIV release all over again.If you listened closely, you could hear the sounds of PS3 owners throwing their copies of GTA IV across the room like a Frisbee to experience the sheer joy of an 8 minute install screen.
I hate to break it to you kids but I have not picked up a copy of the game yet. Last night, I had the choice between leaving in the middle of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom to pick up the game, or staying until the end of the movie then playing The Oregon Trail. Needless to say, I chose the latter.
On a serious note, I have cruised around to various websites where gamers can post their reviews of the game. It has been 10 after 10 after 10. Instant Classic, Masterpiece, and I Left my Boyfriend for Solid Snake were all titles of the reviews I read. You can also click on a gamer’s profile to read other reviews he or she has posted. I will be damned if the same gamers who stated that MGSIV was the greatest game ever said the same exact thing about GTAIV. A 10 for a game should not be easily thrown around.
Unlike GTA (with the exception of Vice City), I have been a big fan of Metal Gear since the NES. And yes, I am still wondering what to do with those damn cigarettes. I intend to pick up this game next week and post a review as soon as I have time. The Oregon Trail has been calling my name.
