In a cardboard box up until it's time to beta.... Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty PS2 New ( bought a day before offical release release in 2002) £44.99 HMV So No beta yet, how will I ever pass the time? Well I've decided that with a friend who doesn't understand all this hype about SNAAAAKE! to go back through and watch the someone else play. Meaning I see things I haven't seen before and also watch how someone else approaches this great game. Sadly due to my PS3 being exchanged I've lost my MSG2 save, so I have to start a fresh. I chose to show the game off as Snake in the Tanker mission. The person watching did seem impressed and was shocked at how poor I was at the game. Please bear in mind, I was playing it on Hard after 5 years since I last completed it. My god the controls are fiddley but work. I am sadly missing the lack of rumble of Six-Axis PS3 pads. I got to the MG: Rex stored in the hold. I won't spoil it for people but it a bit of a challenge. I'd managed to show how to do a hold up and take someone dog tags. Continued in comments...

4 for £10 Gamestation offer on 2nd hand PS2 games. As you may be aware I always try and buy thing cheap if I can and there are tonnes of quality titles that I refused to pay full price for on release but occasionally I'll see them cheap. The last 4 I got were: XIII - A 1st person cell-shaded shooter that is like paying a mixture of Scanner Darly and a Bourne story. It works quite well eventhough I've only gone through the first couple of levels. Manhunt - The notrious Murder simulator that plays like the snuff film it's intened to be. It also uses the PS2 USB headset to an unerving level allowing for instruction to be broadcasted straight into your ears rather than through the speakers. It also allows you to use the mic to get attention of your next victim by making noise into it. This game freaked me out 5 years ago when I first played it but now seems a little tame when compared to the Hitman games. Primal - A starnge mix or Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver which allows you to control 2 characters to solve puzzles in...
