10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Are 10 Years Old

3. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Still an incredibly controversial title just down to its very existence - how dare Konami take what was a 'Sony franchise' and make the rebooted version a Nintendo exclusive? What about all the fans that devoted their time to knowing their Otacons from their Ocelots? Brainiac developer Hideo Kojima didn't seem to care, as he allowed developer Silicon Knights to wipe out all existence of the original Playstation version, re-recording all the dialogue and creating a whole new set of cutscenes to boot. And man, those cutscenes. By this point MGS 2 had been released and we'd seen the likes of Solidus' octopus armour - hell even a vampire running on water was now something we'd learned to accept - but last we checked Snake wasn't backflipping onto the back of incoming missiles, nor was he coming across like some OTT fusion of western character design and eastern action-animation. Considering all that changed in terms of gameplay was the addition of the MGS2 first-person camera and a shiny new graphics engine, the new game we saw just made this version of MGS 1 a strange and off-putting one.
