SynopsisExperience the final chapter in the Solid Snake saga with Metal Gear Solid 4. Travel around with world with Solid Snake to locations in South America, the Middle East and other dangerous areas. As he hunts down archnemesis Liquid Ocelot, Snake's packing the deadliest weapons and touting the most impressive abilities of his career. See if he can enter enemy territory undetected amidst the chaos of battle. Should Snake fail in his final mission, civilization will pay a terrible price: world domination.Combine stealth, strategy and combat to achieve your goals. Know when to aid local militia in the fight and when to let the battle rage on so you can use the chaos as cover. As you infiltrate enemy territory, don the OctoCamo stealth suit to match seamlessly with your environments. You can also rely on your contact, Otacon, to give you the new Mk. II reconnaissance tool as well as the Solid Eye, which provides vital stats on enemies and your surroundings. Visit Drebin on the black market and trade for bigger, badder weapons. The more you trade, the more custom weapons and modifications you'll unlock. Once you have the firepower, feel free to unleash it on waves of invading PMC soldiers.

Impressive Story/gameplay

Normally I hate playing shooter games on a console, but I will admit this one was one of the rare exceptions. I prefer the PC since I have more control for precision and speed but this game was simply magnificent. It was very easy to aim and shoot quickly while maintaining high graphic detail all around Snake's surroundings and with the PS3's controller, it made it a lot easier. What I loved most about this game is the fact that this has to be the first game of it's kind that allows you to play in a movie-like atmosphere. The best part is, you can skip them if you replay the game in a higher difficulty setting (or any setting for that matter). It has high replay value and watching the movie all over again at least 3x. Another best is that each mob is different-don't cheat on how to kill the bosses, try to find out their weaknesses. I love how the bosses are unique and how to kill them is extremely unique. If you didn't cheat like me, it's really fun trying to figure it out.
The thing that I didn't like was the fact that if you skip the movie scenes, the game is rather short. I wish they would have made the game longer. Also, even though each boss had a unique way of killing them, I wish they had more bosses to play against.
Overall, it's hard not to get into the game and play it more than 3x. I would definitely recommend this game just for the fact it has replay value-something you rarely see these days.
What's great about it: Great Storyline, play controls, graphics, replay value
What's not so great: Game is too short
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a game that you will either love or hate entirely. Personally, I thought this was an awesome game. The only issue I have with it was that it never did a 180 degree turn when I wanted it to (so I had to fly in a circle haha). Other than that, I rather enjoyed it and loved the story plot.
The thing I don't understand is why are people complaining that you can only fly and nothing else-the game was meant to just fly on a dragon that's what you are critiquing. If you don't like to play flying games, then you definitely won't like this game so don't even bother buying it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A very short, yet intense game that will leave you wishing for more. I definitely cannot wait for Heavenly Sword 2 to come out. This is one of the games that you can get so engrossed into it and feel like you were actually in it. The way they utilized the sixaxis weight controller sensor is simply amazing. There is no delay like the WII which makes it even more amazing.
And to think, they used real life actors to make this game simply is obvious-the realism of every body part is simply amazing.
The best thing is if you work, you don't need to worry about not being able to have no time to beat this. You WILL beat this game and enjoy it.

How do i get the webcam thats built into the laptop to work?

I got the laptop as a gift and i cannot figure out how to get the webcam that comes with the laptop to work.
If it's built into the laptop, go to control panel it should be in there. Some laptops keep it shut down in sleep mode and activated when a program associated with it tells it to wake up. You may have to change some of your default settings.

Will windows 7 work with everything that already works with windows 7?

My games and programs (photostop,exc...) that already run on xp will work with windows 7 right?
Yes, Windows 7 was created to get rid of the compatibility issues that Vista had a problem with (it had to go to basic mode to run XP applications).

My Playstation 3 is freezing on me.

I just got my playstation 3 for x-mas and if i play more than 1 game of Madden 09 in a row it freezes at the begining of the second game in the screen where u make your play choices. Is this a problem with my system or the game?
Have you updated the console? Try another game and if it happens again chances are it's the system. If it doesn't freeze on a different game chances are it's the game but since it's new, you still have the warranty.

connecting to the internet

Can I connect to the internet on my PS3 with a usb wireless LAN adapter connected to my PC? or how else can I connect to the internet?...because I have a wireless card on my laptop that im paying monthly service for and would love to use this instead of paying more for a wireless router at my house.
I would go to sony.com and customer support for this one if you have no luck finding the answer. Sorry :( not sure how that would work unless the wireless LAN adapter can send out a signal to the PS3
