Metal Gear for the NES and MSX2 was the first ever stealth game ever conceived. The idea of limited hardware breaking down what was going to be an action shooter and into one of the most iconic video game franchises is one of the more surprising stories in the industry.

Far Cry 2 is an interesting, hard, and serious game that in all intents and purposes started the Far Cry series down the path it's gone and away from the Crysis series of games it all started from.

Battlefield Bad Company is a parody take on it’s own franchise. It really takes the piss out of the drama filled World War shooters that were so prevalent in the early 2000’s. It also introduced all new destructible environments that are still used in the franchise today. Plus Haggard wants a Truck-O-saurus so that’s awesome. We also discuss: * E3 Going Public * The Humble Freedo...
