The Metal Gear Solid series never made it here; officially at least. But given the fact that a stunning number of gamers voted for the final boss fight in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to be the Most Epic Gaming Moment of the Year definitely speaks a lot considering it’s glorified fan service without comparison. It melds the best bits of music from the first three games with a sweet, brutal nostalgic punch out that would bring a tear to the eye of any MGS fan or at least anyone who’s watched videos from the first three games. Definitely a worthy, if albeit, old school choice for the gaming moment of 2008.
