CVG Recognizes Metal Gear Solid as a Game that Changed the World
Posted on 7 February 2011
Fresh off of recognizing "Recruiting Kojima in MGS: Peace Walker" as one of the "Greatest Gaming Moments of 2010," ComputerAndVideoGames.com is at it again, awarding Metal Gear Solid the title of one of "9 Games That Changed the World." While the Metal Gear series is no stranger to constant slews of recognition, it's always nice to see more appreciation for such a beloved series.
"Metal Gear Solid is now considered the pinnacle of stealth action, but Hideo Kojima's original espionage adventure was the beginning of something much bigger than a bag of great game mechanics.
The story, flavour and legacy of the Metal Gear Solid universe has since become just as legendary as the creator himself. With plots more twisted than an evil pretzel and characters that would look epic eating a banana, Kojima created a world that wrapped people up for the duration, so much that they had to readjust to the real world once they slipped out the other side.
Okay so the cut-scenes are a bit long and there's a lot of talking but never has a title been so cinematic and involving, and so prolific in its gaming credentials at the same time."
