When I heard there was to be a Metal Gear game released on the Playstation, I was happy.  I had been a long time fan of the series from the very first game on the NES and even through the crappy Snake's Revenge.  I didn't know if that next generation of gamers would know anything about the series, but I was hoping for a good game.  My expectations were surpassed beyond anything I could have hoped for.  Not only was Metal Gear Solid a good game, it was a great game.  Metal Gear Solid is one of the best games (if not the best game) on the Playstation and it should take its place as one of the top games of all time.
