21 years after Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater first appeared (and a brisk two years after it first hit PC), Konami's decided, hey, why not try making that game again? People seemed to like it last time.
Metal Gear Solid Delta is right around the corner, and it's put us at PCG in a reflective mood. MGS is a strange series, not just because of the cowboys and bee guys and time-travelling diarrhoea man, but because of the niche it occupies in the annals of games history.
