Video Games: Metal Gear Solid

PlayStation When Legend of Zelda was released, everyone thought it was the game to end all games. But the best just got better in Konami's new release, Metal Gear Solid. It's taken seven years to come out, but this surpasses expectations. The gameplay is refreshing - instead of running around shooting anything that moves, players have to infiltrate a military base, making sure their characters aren't spotted by the guards. Combined with great graphics and storyline, this has got to be one of the best arcade adventures on any console.
