Piecing Together Peace Walker

GameXplain writes: "But what about gamers who are interested in Peace Walker but have never played any of the previous games? Gamers who have no idea what a Metal Gear is. Or that Naked Snake and Big Boss are the same person. Or that the name Outer Heaven is significant to the games after Peace Walker. It can be daunting to jump into such a heavily serialized series and not know any of the background. For that reason, we are here to provide a way for those gamers to catch-up with the story leading into Peace Walker."

"But what about gamers who are interested in Peace Walker but have never played any of the previous games?" I have played the previous games and I still don't know what the hell is going on in Metal Gear.

I hope they remake
I hope they remake
Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake.
my memory of those two is very fussy at best.

And if this game doesn't end with Big Boss going into a coma and the Les Enfants Terribles project begging then there is one more prequel to go.
