    Hideo Kojima what will he do now?

    Hmmm...well he'll be working hard over the next 2 or 3 years on the MGS film, no doubts about that. Gamewise, who knows? He hasn't ruled out returning to MGS5 (which looks likely), though the chances are he'll leave his MGS4 co-director (can't remember his name, Shyro Murata or something?) as...

    To all MGS fans...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzp39LizZVw That scene at the very end had me nearly in tears, and anyone who played MGS3 the first time around and understood, I guarantee they'll have felt the same. The way the music climaxes as he salutes just gives me chills every time I see it, and the...

    Wilkopops Reviews: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots

    *************POTENTIAL SPOILERS********************* Pedro: Now playing MGS4 through again I can understand the frustration. The AI is bad on that part, three times the guy I was tailing walked straight into the enemy, leaving me to snipe them all, before he ran backwards before going forward...

    Wilkopops Reviews: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots

    Again it sounds fanboyish, but honestly, no. A few minor quirks was all I found. Plus the level I mentioned where I tried 8 times to fight my way through a level, which as Aries said could be put down to inconsistent difficulties. However I soon found that stealth was essential, and whilst...

    MGS4, a unique experience in Bipolar Enjoyment (EXPANDED)

    I am surprised that you were disappointed in the character side of things. As I said in my review I felt it was one of the strongest points in MGS4, in particular the development of Snake and Otacon. As for the review itself, very well done mate. Very clear, concise and to the point, without...

    Wilkopops Reviews: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots

    Joeshie: Ok...anything about the review to add? PurpleRain: I can understand why it would appear that way...and admittedly the thought of writing a fanboy love poem to Hideo Kojima sounds appealing...but in all honesty I felt this was a fantastic game. There were minor annoyances as I pointed...

    Wilkopops Reviews: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots

    Let me start off by saying that I am a self-confessed Metal Gear Solid fanboy. Despite this, I'm aiming to be as objective as possible, which is proving extremely difficult in the light of having completed this game. I'm also aiming to stay as spoiler-free as possible. Metal Gear...

    The Truman Show

    Fantastic movie. I was surprised that Carrey was able to pull off such a straight character so well, particularly following films like Batman Forever and Ace Ventura. But he made it look easy, and made the character of Truman so empathisable (is that a word?) that it turned The Truman Show from...

    The best and worst Retro video games

    Best: As you can probably guess from my review, Sonic 3. Worst: Tough call. I tend to find most retro games go into the "so bad they're awesome category". Mind you I played Ghostbusters on the Mega Drive once, that was just awful

    GTA IV made me lose weight?

    I don't know about losing weight, but I definitely burned some calories throwing my controller at the wall every time Kate rang up (at least every hour) proclaiming "I assume you must hate me" in a half-sarcastic voice, not to mention the p*ss-take of an ending on the "Deal" option.

    Sonic [The Hedgehog] 3

    It does make you wonder why Sega decided to revamp the special stages when the ones in Sonic 2 worked so well. They were simple yet challenging at the same time.

    Strangest glitch you've ever encountered in a game.

    Got to be MissingNo hasn't it? I mean come on, who didn't read about it then immediately go for it on Red and Blue? I heard there was actually a Yellow version which someone found that could be operated a different way. As I understand it, MissingNo was used as a filler for Pokemon in...

    Poll: Do you believe in a higher power?

    My views are that I want to believe in a God. I want there to be a God, and in a sense I think there is one. I don't believe you need "evidence" for God's existence. That said, I don't know what to understand, and I don't understand what believing in God will get anyone. I'm always looking at...

    Sonic [The Hedgehog] 3

    Gigantor: Thanks mate, I'll take that on board. J.theyellow: Yes I saw that video. Very interesting. You've got to wonder why they left some aspects of the music in there, was it a mark of respect for Jackson in a tough time, or did they just not have the time to create new music from...

    Sonic [The Hedgehog] 3

    Cheers mate, I'll take it on board. I was going to add some personal experiences with the game to it, but I found they became irrelevant, perhaps I should have implemented them better. One thing people will learn about me is I'm very self-criticising. Also, at the risk of sounding like a...
