The continuation of an origins story

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

An installment to the Metal Gear Solid series where it was written and directed not by Hideo Kojima but from others on his staff *gasp*. But don’t fret, as he was on board to serve as producer to make sure things didn’t go out of control -- like in Metal Gear Solid 2. Tee-hee, just kidding. But jokes aside, it is a great game, even when on a portable console rather than one of the primary systems like the PS2 or PS3.

Actually, I neglected to play Portable Ops for the longest time. I always thought it was a story that was set in an alternate continuity to the mainline of the series, so I never felt it was important to play it. Once I heard it was related to Peace Walker and then that was related to Ground Zeroes, I had to play it so I can eventually play GZ. That’s just the kind of person I am: crazy.
