So through Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (360) and a comedic reminder from LEGO Lord of the Rings (360), I decided to start getting into the series. First game I've chosen... Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (although MGS3 is technically a prequel... oh jeez, it's Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix and Devil May Cry 3 all over again) due to it being an earlier game and choosing to elevate from there. I'm still on the ship, but I managed to tranquilize Olga.
It'll take some time for me to get used to as the only stealth game I'm used to is Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (which I played on the GameCube) as I played that first. Funny... Splinter Cell is well known on XBOX, but I play that on GameCube, while Metal Gear is mostly known on PlayStation systems (despite being on MSX and NES sometime before), I'm playing that on 360 (and want the remake of the first game on GameCube).
