Episodic content in gaming has started to pop up more recently in the past year with the advent of digital distribution services (Steam, iTunes, Xbox LIVE), and with the steady rise to cost of development, this method has proven successful  for the most part, but not without its share of flops. One of the main advantages of this model is the very low cost to developers, along with the decreased risk for us consumers who constantly shell out money for what’s on average, a $60 8 hour game. It’s simple, effective, and becoming the new hot thing next to achievements.

Metal Gear - MSX 1987 - by way of 2004

This game is just a blast to play. You play the role of “Solid” Snake, a novice badass. You start out unarmed and outgunned, so sneaking is the order of the day.  It is up to you to procure not just weapons but a variety of special items. It is just like the NES one, only different and better!
