Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Yeah, we gave Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots a 10, but that was the summation of Solid Snake's story. If you were just jumping in, Peace Walker would be the way to go. The story of Big Boss infiltrating Costa Rica to see if his mentor is still alive is touching and actually makes sense. The gameplay is expertly paced and controls perfectly on the PSP, and there's so much to do -- mini-missions, co-op, versus, recruiting your army, building your own Metal Gear -- that 60-hour saves are common. One of the most overlooked Metal Gears is easily one of the best games around.
