The Best Surprise of 2013

Platinum Games, the studio behind Metal Gear Rising, is no stranger to high-excitement hack and slash. One of the members of the development studio, Hideki Kamiya, is known for directing Devil May Cry… Read more

Metal Gear Rising is flawed but fun

Give War a Chance

Metal Gear . The name alone conjures up images of giant mechs, cardboard boxes, and generally confusing plot-lines (Nanomachines, right?). Kojima Productions’ critically acclaimed franchise has been l… Read more

Revengeance is a stylish and exceptional top class piece of gaming.

Watching Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance move through its development process has been quite a ride since the game was first announcement back at E3 2009. Originally, the game began as Metal Gear Solid… Read more

Some fun, exciting combat systems in a short, repetitive game

The history of Metal Gear Rising makes for a potentially suspect final product. It was shown at E3 2010 to modest praise and then was promptly forgotten about (by both Konami and fans) for years. When… Read more

Sugar and Slice and Everything Diced.

The more I play video games and reflect upon them, the more I realize I have two passions: games that tell a beautiful tale of deep emotion and games that are, for lack of a better phrase, BATSH*T INS… Read more

A short review for a short game.

This is a really short review for a really short game. Dull characters, forgettable plot. Uninspired, bland environments. Excellent combat system. Parrying in combat is the coolest thing ever. "Zandat… Read more

A Slice of Raiden: Rising Above Most Side Stories

As a franchise, Metal Gear Solid is not afraid of compressing a wealth of exposition in their games, even those considered to be side stories. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance tells a short (but dense)… Read more

A very silly, very fun take on the Metal Gear universe.

I have kind of a weird relationship with the Metal Gear series. I don't consider the games to be masterpieces, but I do enjoy them, just probably not in the way Hideo Kojima, the series creator intend… Read more

Fast paced, exciting, fun, and way over the top. All is right with the world.

This game made me buy a ps3. That's how much I wanted this game. I never really was much into Metal Gear Solid, i found it to be super cheesy without a lot of action. But this game has pulled me into… Read more

Metal Gear Rising is a great start of a different Metal Gear series that does its character much justice.

Raiden has always been a rather intriguing character. Having been introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2 as a young soldier with a rather turbulent, yet mysterious life he has managed to stir up a lot of co… Read more

Maintaining the action we have come to expect from Platinum, while telling a story that is distinctly Metal Gear.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (Xbox360) 2013 I can hardly put words to just how it felt to hear that not only was Kojima productions not outright cancelling Metal Gear Solid Rising, but would also be… Read more

A Rough But Fun Cut

Metal Gear Rising was announced to an eager and shocked crowd at E3 2009. Since then it briefly appeared at industry events with little to no information. Then it was announced that Platinum games the… Read more

Cut Off at the Knees

Mr Lightning Bolt, I'm ready for my close-up.

Metal Gear has been an important part of the video game industry for a long time. It debuted in 1987 on the MSX2 with the very first Metal Gear. Though it is fair to say that the series did not find i… Read more

Metal Gear, but not as you know it

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is an odd beast. While the name will be familiar to many, Kojima’s Metal Gear franchise has been with us now for 25 years, and in that time it’s cemented it’s place as t… Read more

Metal Gear Rising is a well crafted, short, and somewhat disappointing entry into the Metal Gear mythos.

Metal Gear Rising finally makes it's way to home consoles after some development hell, but thankfully, it isn't quite the letdown as Aliens: Colonial Marines was. The new game set in the Metal Gear un… Read more

The character action genre hasn't been this fast or crazy in a good long while.

An insane, silly and joyous experience that pays tribute to Metal Gear in the best possible way

MGR always seemed to me to be based on the fight Raiden has with the Gekko's in MGS4 turned into a game and that concept doesn't disappoint. Starting off you begin your quest as a slightly improved Ra… Read more
