The first episode, seen above, covers <em>Metal Gear</em>, <em>Snake's Revenge</em> and <em>MG2: Solid Snake</em>.<br /><br />It's a good way to refresh before <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Metal-Gear-Solid-4/">Metal Gear Solid 4</a></em>, but we hope the narrator is prepared for when he has to start recapping <em>Metal Gear Solid</em> plots.
