4. Piloting Metal Gear Rex (MGS 4)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA02xxwaOH8 Ever since Hideo Kojima demonstrated his knack for intuitive mech control in his Zone Of The Enders games, fans have been wondering when they'd be able to actually pilot a Metal Gear themselves. Thanks to the power of the PS3, it seemed Kojima's vision for Metal Gear-on-Metal-Gear combat was finally possible. In MGS 4 we got the chance to get behind the wheel (do Metal Gear's even have wheels?) of the now obsolete Metal Gear Rex. The results were breathtaking. Facing off against the vastly superior Metal Gear Ray, you could fire machine guns and missiles, shoot laser beams and even pull off insane CQC moves and fast-dashes. Though brief, it was a perfectly executed and downright amazing moment of fan service.

When I'm not playing games, I'm probably either writing about them somewhere or singing stupid songs inspired by them. Or eating pizza.
