Good article but I think you were somewhat unfair with Syphon filter. About from it being an excellent game that still stands up today, the very fact that Metal Gear Solid is a primarily stealth based game, and Syphon Filter is a third person shooter with maybe one or two stealth levels kind of renders your comparison obsolete.
Call me a sceptic but I suspect sony isn't taking the same tactical approach to consumerism.
That is, throwing ridiculous amounts of money at any company in sight to secure exclusivity. I'm afraid I don't buy Valve's excuses on this one.
Also, regards to which game is better, I think that's entirely dependandant on preferences in weaponry and such. Though I prefer the bolt action weapons of WAW, I prefer the maps and weapon camo system of 4, and found it to be less glitchy.
There is no definitive answer as to which is better.
Though I admit that the PS3 is certainly a flawed console I wish people would stop telling me that they don't have good exclusives or a good online mode. I mean, Guns of the Patriots are more than enough on their own without backup like Uncharted, and I really can't see what's wrong with the online mode.

Yeah, I meant that if I were to buy them online could I play them offline. Daft question I suppose, considering that was the case with the COD4 maps, but thank you for your help!
I absolutely love this game, but I was quite dissapointed that there was no world map where you could level up in between battles like in Sacred Stones. Because i'm a completist who can't let anyone die I ultimately had to drop the difficulty from 5 to 3 stars to do so...
This is quite simply one of the most complete and absorbing gaming experiences to have evr hit a console and thoroughly deserves a 10/10.
...But why was it also listed as being for the 360 when it clearly is not?
