This news got me thinking about Kojima’s legendary Metal Gear Solid franchise. So, here’s Power Up And Game’s poll question of the week. The Metal Gear Solid franchise is known for having absolutely insane moments, both narratively and in terms of gameplay. For example, I think The Sorrow from Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the most creative boss fights that we’ve ever seen because it brilliantly makes the player confront their actions throughout the story.
