Hideo Kojima announced during this May's Konami E3 press conference that this year, 2006, marks his twentieth anniversary in the games industry. Since his start at Konami in 1986, Kojima has produced and directed some of the games industry's most influential titles. His first game, Metal Gear, is considered the first stealth-action videogame and birthed a genre that's since spawned many of the industry's most popular titles and impacted other genres with stealth influences. Kojima's later titles, both in the Metal Gear series and out, have also established benchmarks of production excellence, merging videogame fantasy with Hollywood-quality presentation, an achievement many games have imitated though few (if any) have matched.
In his twenty years of gaming, Hideo Kojima has established a rather inspirational legacy. Both in his games and in personal interviews, Kojima has waxed philosophical and set in place influences that will likely last past his lifetime. These influences and inspirations, and the games that ignite them, are this philosopher's legacy.

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
It's quit funny. All PS fanboys of young age (seen their posts they are under 10 years like ssj/achira) think that Metal Gear was first for the PS.
Funny thing is, it all started on MSX(2). With Metal Gear and then Metal Gear Solid Snake. Those were fun games back then.
That's why the PS was getting so hot in Japan. Because they also still were into the MSX for a long time. While the rest of the world dropped it already.
Get ready for the next drop. PS will loose from Wii in Japan. Rest of the world will get 360 as the first choice. Will MGS evolve to the new king?
Honestly this guy always thinks he can speak for developers worldwide, he also once qouted saying "videogames Are not Art"!
WTF?
Of course video games are art, have you ever heard of concept art for video games, environment artists, ect, ect!
Video Games are art in my opinon!
But Maybe certain Videogames like GTA cannot classify as art because it is to violent, I see some aspects in games like "Halo" and "Meta Gear Solid" as art!
im sick of this guy face he thinks hes the best, The best is the developers of GTA.
I really think this guys games are boring Animal Crossing beats all his games combined.
