Metal Gear Retrospective: Part Five is all in your hands

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jun 11th 2008 at 6:00AM }

GameTrailers sneaks in a fifth installment of its Metal Gear Retrospective, with the latest episode focusing on the portable versions of Snake's adventures. The episode covers the GameBoy's Ghost Babel, along with the PSP's AC!D and the only handheld title part of the MGS canon, Portable Ops.

As we all prepare for Metal Gear Solid 4's launch tomorrow, don't forget to check out the other four retrospective episodes. The upcoming final installment in GameTrailers' Metal Gear review will attempt to weave together the whole MGS saga. As incredible as that feat will be, it still doesn't beat the time GameTrailers attempted to explain the Legend of Zelda timelines.

As admittedly convoluted as MGS & ZELDA are, I'm more confused by KINGDOM HEARTS than anything else. If they do videos for that when the portable KH games or even KH3 gets released, that'd be great.

Or if they've done it already and I've missed it, feel free to link. :]

I'm sad that I missed out on Ghost Babel and now have no way of playing it (short of tracking down a GBC, which I don't want to do.)

When are they going to finish up the Star Wars retrospective? The next chapter is about a month overdue.

Man I sure loved Metal Gear Ac!d 2 is one of the few games I've finished several times with Gears of War, Dead Rising, Megaman Maverick Hunter X, Megaman Powered up!, Loco Roco and Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

I never played Ac!d 1 and the graphics look cool, I'm going to rent it one of these days.I really want anew Ac!d game tho'.

I also wanted to play Portable ops but I never found it.Weird, there should be a greatest hits version Portable ops since Portable ops plus is almost everywhere.

Is it just me, or Perfect Dark for the GameBoy Color used the same engine of Metal Gear Ghost Babel, they look way too much alike!!!!!

Still, Babel my favorite portable of the mg series, I didn't came to like acid's gameplay (even though I only played the first hour)and still have to play portable ops
