Why you should play: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Hideo Kojima's acclaimed "Metal Gear Solid" series is one of those ageing, legendary sagas that you've either played and adored (everyone has their favourite of course, and everyone seems to hate at least one of them), or you just haven't gotten around to it; you keep telling your rabid, manic MGS-fan friend that you'll borrow the HD collection from them any day now...when you get some time to play, obviously. But you never do, because nobody has time for this kind of thing anymore. That, and Metal Gear Solid fans have an alarming tendency to devolve into raving, dribbling maniacs when asked simple questions like; "What's your favourite Metal Gear Solid game, and why?"
