It was hard to imagine that after the stellar success of MGS3, the series had anything to prove. But Snake’s fate and the PS3 brand became so intertwined over the past three years that the success of one was going to define the success of the other. Like it or not, the PS3 still needed a game that defined its existence and the pressure was on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to deliver. Deliver it did; you have to go back a generation to look at a game that defined a console like MGS 4 did. It is the must have exclusive title that Sony so desperately needed. It was the closure to the series’ story that fans so badly wanted. And it was the game we voted for as the Best Franchise/Series Title of 2008.
