Metal Assassin’s Gear-Creed: Brothersolid?
Dude. You can play Raiden in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood? That’s pretty awesome. I truly appreciate how Hideo Kojima, even though his games end up incredibly heavy-handed and preachy, has no concern about Metal Gear Solid‘s characters’ basic integrity, and will let them show up in any game at any time. Obviously, Raiden in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is less goofy than Solid Snake appearing in Super Smash Bros., but it’s still pretty silly. I swear, if the guards actually do the exclamation point thing over their heads when you play Raiden, that might cement AC:B as the game of the year for me.
