The Metal Gear Solid series is not only one of Konami’s crown jewel properties but it is widely considered to be one of the greatest franchises of all time.
From the creative mind of legendary developerHideo Kojima, this iconic series began withMetal Gearon the NES in 1987. In the next few years that followed, the NES would get two further sequels.

However, it wasn’t until 1998 whenMetal Gear Solidarrived on the original PlayStation console. To say that this title changed the game would be an understatement with wonderfully crafted stealth mechanics, tight combat, enemy AI that was far ahead of its time, a well-written story, fantastic voice cast offering a cinematic experience that many Hollywood big-hitters would be jealous of.

In the decades that followed we would be treated to many releases in the Metal Gear Solid series and for the most part, each being more impressive than the last. Well, apart from 2018’sMetal Gear Survive. Let’s just say, the less said about that game, the better. Sadly,Metal Gear Survivewas the last entry in the series, but at least we have the remake ofMetal Gear Solid 3on the way to hopefully eradicate those painful memories.
More recently theMetal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1graced consoles and PC, which not only included the first three games in the MGS series, but also the NES classics that came before as well as a whole host of other bonus features. Granted, the ports in theMetal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1should have been taken to a higher standard with more modernised features and performance, but there’s little denying that each game still holds up well today.
As the name of the first entry of the Master Collection clearly suggests, Konami has plans to release further collections with the expectancy of 2008’sMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriotsbeing included inVol.2, a game that at this point in time has only ever been released on the PlayStation 3.
