We can't wait

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
This is it. The one game everyone wants to see. The PlayStation 3 hardware and Nintendo's Wii might take center stage this year, but Solid Snake's the real headliner, lurking just behind the curtain as he always does. And from what our colleagues who've been sworn to secrecy tell us, the surprises he's going to hit us with will completely blow our jaded gamer brains away.

In either case, we're looking forward to more details on fast-aging superspy Solid Snake and the bio-mechanical Metal Gear clones he'll have to fight. There's also been a lot of buzz lately about whiny pretty-boy Raiden and how he's going to return as an ultra-likable badass. We're not holding our breath on that one, but given what else this game seems to be capable of, anything could happen.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
