There are many candidates for the game of the decade. God of War, Gears of War, (any one ever notice that? GOW?) Halo 2, GTA IV. But in the end I believe that the competition has been left in the dust by MGS 4. Not because of game play, which is flawless for both weak and strong players. Not because of the story, which is one of the best in video game history and even beats out most movies(I'm looking at you Rocky Balboa). No, it is because of the groundbreaking experience that has set the bar for all games to come. Never before has game play and story been melded so well, I believe that this is the first TRUE video game-movie. It is so awesome that I didn't care that some of the cut scenes ran for over an hour, but instead I enjoyed it and anticipated it with the excitement that I have only experience while waiting in the movie house to get my ticket. And with the game play being so versatile that I could play from the range of non-lethal sneaking, to powerhouse FPS shooting. I could do it all, and I did. This is a game that I will play over and over again.
