The finer thoughts and impression of Metal Gear Solid all condensed into snippets from each contributor of the Pinekast. Accept the mission and take the plunge to see what members of Pineconeattack think about June’s Game of the Month.

A series that has spanned 22 years, produced many sequels and is loved the world over….but enough of that shit. We are only talking about one title in the Metal Gear saga and arguably the most important one of all: Metal Gear Solid. Ahh…all the great memories that flood back from playing this [...]

With all the brouhaha lately concerning the new games in the Metal Gear saga, MGS: Rising and MGS: Peace Walker, it brought something to my attention: I still hadn’t played through some of the titles.  Granted, I’ve gone through all the storyline games several times at this point, but there were a few that had [...]

Welcome and salutations to the month of June for Game of the Month. Due to all the hype and brouhaha over Kojima’s latest Metal Gear Solid: Rising for the Xbox 360, PS3 and whatever system they can shoe horn this new non-exclusive game into, some of the gents here at PCA are getting excited [...]

It’s 0230 in the morning and I’m tired as hell but this video just stuck me as hilarious especially since this is parodying their GDC ‘07 skit, lol.

Me, of course, because I’m a tool.  Even if I said I would not spend the cash on purchasing this, Konami would somehow find a way to siphon the funds directly from my bank account.  To be honest, I am intrigued by the idea, but I’m also fearful.  Cell phone games suck and the iPhone [...]
