I played Metal Gear Solid for the PSX when it was released, back in the late nineties. I still consider it one of the best gaming experiences I ever had.
Nowadays it is quite common, but back in the day, it was the first game that took a cinematic approach with a hell of a story and did it right. That's why it is so special in my heart.
But then I skipped the PS2/GC/XBOX generation and as a comsequence I missed MGS 2 and 3.
I don't know how, I don't know when, but I am not planning on playing MGS4 if I haven't played the previous games before. I think the OP should do the same.
I just hope the rumours of a Metal Gear Solid collection becoming available in the PS3 are true and I will be a happy gamer.
