Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2, 2004)
"Some day you'll feed on a tree frog" sings Cynthia Harrell. What a lovely sentiment. It could only be the theme from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which sounds just like a James Bond offering. It's good, certainly - you can't fault the big voice and massive brass staccato stabs... but it's a little bit strange. Still, for an MGS3 fan, it's a classic.
