No. 75: Metal Gear Solid – 100 Greatest Games Ever

Along with Final Fantasy VII, Solid Snake's triumphant return to gaming solidified PlayStation as a major player.

Utilizing the new Dual Shock controller to shake you up in ways never before expected, it single-handedly kicked off the stealth game trend. It had some incredibly memorable moments (Psycho Mantis "reading your mind" was a highlight) and fun gameplay. Later Metal Gears made you sit through hours of impenetrable cutscenes, and this one had its fair share, but it never got in the way of the excellent game.
