Metal Gear Solid 2 Novel Due In November

Kotaku: The official novelization of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is due out in November, raising the question of how many different ways there are to say "hiding his crotch with his hands".

Perhaps author Raymond Benson will offer us some keen insight into Raiden's mindset as he snuck naked through a heavily fortified enemy base in Metal Gear Solid 2. Benson, the author of six James Bond continuation novels, also penned the novelization of the first Metal Gear Solid, which went on sale last May. Reader reviews of the first book were relatively positive, although there weren't that many, so we've high hopes that Benson will return to form on November 24th, as long as he can avoid passages like this one:

"Raiden tensed, gripping his junk as the sounds of booted footsteps rang out from around the corner..."

as he waited there patiently, sneaking around with Private Johnson just as cunningly quiet as he is, hiding behind Sargent Right Hand and Lefty

I have the first MGS novel.

It's not bad, but it seems the author was trying very hard to write like Kojima with a Holywood style.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21172d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan172d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic171d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds171d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
