VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "2001 began with some sad news. On January 31st Sega announced that it would be discontinuing the Dreamcast on March 31st and in the process would withdraw from the console manufacturing business for good. This would bring an end to Sega's 18 years in the console business, beginning in 1983 with the SG-1000 and now coming to an end with the Dreamcast. At its peak Sega was on equal ground with Nintendo when that company was at the top of the industry; something no other firm had been able to do until Sony with the PlayStation."

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
Raiden was introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2 to the ire of some fans. In this opinion article, we argue that the character didn't deserve the backlash that was received upon release.
He just wasn't interesting sadly and to have Snake in the game, even playing him for a bit then give us the old switcharoo was just bad.
Put it this way, he was so bland they had to make him a cool cyborg ninja in the 4th game.
Maybe. But his dialogue and voice acting didn't do him any good. No offense to the voice actor, he was much better in mgs4, so it's not his fault. Raiden was extremely whiny and just not interesting.
I didn't mind Raiden, in part 2. I never cared for rising but it was way more action heavy and at the time its not what I was looking for in a mgs game. I would retry it though these days
I enjoyed doing cartwheels while holding my balls on a giant warship, haha! Definitely a great character. I also enjoyed his spinoff game, it was short and simple but they did a good job putting it together.
