This is my favorite MGS4 review quote (from the PTOM review):
MGS4 is special in many ways that I suspect it will reside among the videogame industry's greatest achievements long after we're dust
But, somehow, I doubt the statement would hold...
No foreign sky protected me,
No stranger's wing shielded my face.
I stand as witness to the common lot,
survivor of that time, that place.
- From 'Requiem' by Anna Akhmatova
