3) Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
GCN was home to another stellar remake, namely Konami’s Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Building from the PlayStation original, 2004’s Twin Snakes was a combination of Metal Gear Solid‘s plot and Metal Gear Solid 2‘s graphics. In recent years, the Metal Gear games have been remastered and re-released in HD a couple of times, but sadly this GCN installment remains firmly locked in the past. Featuring incredible graphics, reworked cinema scenes, and improved audio, Twin Snakes makes a strong case for the HD treatment. Ninja versus Snake in blistering detail can literally makes a person’s head spin in giddy anticipation. GamePad functionality combined with Snake’s voluminous arsenal of weapons and gadgets seems like a match made in heaven. Codec calls and Soliton on the GamePad alone are worth the effort, but giving fans a refresher on the series before Metal Gear Solid V seems like a no-brainer. Series mastermind Hideo Kojima has been shopping around the idea of remaking Metal Gear Solid a second time, but he should save himself some trouble by unearthing this under appreciated gem.
