This morning at around 3:45 AM, I slowly released my handed from the there firm grip of the DualSHock 3 controller. As they have been in the possition for about 8 hours. I set the controller down as the credits finally ended there run. I set back to focus on what exactly I took in during the course of MGS4, however, what I know is that I am still at loss for words. I dont think I have ever played a game that I had envested myself in the characters so much to be at tears when the story was all over. But ever since 1998 when I first begun the journey of Solid Snake, and have had the story for the past years slowly, but surely, unfold before me untill I have made it to this final chapter. I know know what a perfect ending is. "Guns of the Patriots" is without any question the best game in the Metal Gear Solid series, and the way this story comes to a close is more then perfect. I dont want to continue saying anything else about this game, because of fear of overtalking the game. Because I think its just something that everyone should experience fresh without spoilers or otherwise. However, if you have played this series for as long as I have. I think that the day after you finish the tale. You will be at loss for words and be emotionally drained. As I have been all day long.

Ok, this realy makes very little sense to me personally. I went to my local grocery store to get...well some groceries. And strangely they where having a raffle for a collection of some different gift bags of swag. I payed a dollar and got a ticket, because I thought hay why not. What do you know it, they pulled my name and I won a bag of three PS3 games "MotorStorm, Untold Legend: Dark Kingdom, and Gundam Crossfire. My friend who was with me thought it was awesome that I won, then when he saw the game he took back his inspuration of awe and said that the games I won all suck. Ok, I can agree that "Crossfire" sucks since I have played it. The others I need to get around to actually playing before I decide they suck or not. But thats not the point the point is...THEY WHERE FREE!!! Well, I did pay a dollar, but that money went to a carity. So it doesnt matter to me. And from what I have heard "MotorStorm" is actually pretty good. So whats the deal, it doesnt matter if the games where god awefull ( though one of them is ) they where free. I mean whould you care...really? I mean, who doesnt like free games no matter what the guality is.

It's been a very long time since I have enjoyed ( or even played threw ) a RPG. I really enjoyed Oblivion last year. Yet, my enjoyment of the game dwindled after a about 50 hours in. However, a new game in the form of Mass Effect has completely changed that tune. Its just something truly unique. As I have been home for a couple of days due to the flu ( agh ). I decided to play threw Mass Effect. Every moment of MS that I experienced I knew that I was playing something truly unique. It wasn't a RPG with a generic story, or gameplay. It was something truly different in many ways. Though it does ultimately boil down to "Stop bad guy from destroying the universe". It was just much more then that, and I found myself emotional invested in every single character and every action that took place. Something that Biowares other titles like KOTOR ( which I did really enjoy ) didn't do so much for me. There are a couple of issues I have with the game. One being that the story mode is rather short. I finished the story mode in about 13 hours. However, there is just so much more to do in the game. SO much that if you want to do everything extra there is it will significantly up that time drastically. There is also some foibles with the combat also. Your AI controlled partners aren't always smart. As well as that there are some enemy types in the game that have the same exact AI controls for every type in the game. There are also some graphical problems in the game. Lots of pop up and graphical glitches and such. But this is just me trying to pick at least some things that keep this from being perfect. Because this is one of the most polished RPG's I have played in years. And I knew once I finished playing the game, that I have truly played something special. As well as felling a strange an sudden urge that I haven't had in years, I wanted to play some more RPG's. Who knows, maybe I'll pick up Lost Odyssey.
