2. Metal Gear Solid Series (PS2/PS3)
The Metal Gear Solid Series is infamous for having a ridiculous amount of product placement, often in very humorous situations. In Metal Gear Solid 4, for example, Snake can equip an iPod to listen to music in order to regain health. Playboy Magazines can be used to distract guards. Whenever Snake is wandering around in the jungle during the 1970s, he can even find a bag of Doritos lying around for nourishment. |
I think your missing the point some people are trying to make, Metal Gear isn't really a serious game, sure it has serious cutscenes and the storey overall is serious, but the game has always been kinda wacky on purpose. Alan Wake is different because it's a different style of game, if Bioshock, Dead Space or Siren did the same thing I'd also be a little annoyed. It's not a game breaking thing and Alan Wake isn't the only game that does it, it's a small con among a huge list of pro's.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
