The Games That Got Away

[NateDog]

That was the website with that spooky mask that changed depending on the time of day, right?  I was positive it was a death mask of The Boss.  And considering how Peace Walker turned out, I wasn't too far out!  But it was actually Castlevania.  Still, that was the dual-announcement of Rising (or was it Revengeance at that point?) and Peace Walker.  Probably the best one-two punch of Metal Gear announcements since Twin Snakes and Snake Eater together in '03.


And yes.  Old.  So damn old.
