So Metal Gear is back in business with the remakes. While the series had started on older platforms, it was MGS1 on the PS1 that really put it into the spotlight, and some even say basically kickstarted gaming as a serious art form. What’s your take on the series? The individual games? Kojima’s madness to the method?

I’ve only played MGS3 on the PS3 (and a little on the 3DS) and truly loved the thing. Considering it was a PS2 game originally, it’s wild how elaborate and modern it feels.

I really appreciated one detail that was a bit before its time - slowly squeezing the trigger by slowly pressing the (face) button. Or the ability to stand on tiptoes. Well now I want to play that thing again.

    Kojima and his team were brilliant. I loved the little things they included in the games that involved the player to do things outside the game. I haven’t played a game that is more clever than the MGS series.
