Bucket List Gamers

This week we're donning our stupidly long red bandannas, pulling out our silenced pistols and plugging our controllers into port 2, as we look at two games in the Metal Gear Solid franchise! Metal Gear Solid (15) from 1998 and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (97) from 2004 are our main targets, but we also talk Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear 5 too for good measure!

Hideo Kojima's stealthy action series has had it's fair share of ups and downs (definitely more downs in recent years) but with the news of an impending re-release, are the original 3 games still worth playing.

Come with us on a journey through Solid Snake's past as we try to find out! 

...Wait, did that cardboard box just sneeze?

Coming from a writing background, having spent over a decade running WWEBlog, Jay decided it was time to go in a different direction. That direction was gaming and thus the Bucket List Gamers (and Bucket List Board Gamers) were born!

What is Bucket List Gamers?

Each show we take a look at one of the '100 Games to play before you die', as well as discussing the latest releases, consoles, successes and scandals in the gaming world.

From Defender to Daytona, Mario to Metroid and Sonic to Street Fighter, if it's in the 100 the BLG team will play it... eventually!
