Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. As per the title, it is the third installment in the "Metal Gear Solid" franchise, and actually the sixth installment in the entire "Metal Gear" franchise as a whole. However, strangely enough, this game predates every other game chronologically by about 40 years.
In the game, you assume the role of "Naked Snake", who looks, acts, and sounds exactly like Solid Snake from previous titles (A mystery that remains unsolved until the final minutes of the game). Since this website is for movies, and not for games, let's forgo the awesome game play and focus on the awesome story.
Basically, the game starts out with Snake being deployed in the fictional Tselinoyarsk, Russia, on what you at first believe is a simple rescue mission. This belief is quickly punched in the face, beaten to death, shot in the eyes, and then urinated on. Throughout the game, the story unfolds at a very manageable pace, with very endearing characters, and twists abound that will keep you guessing until the very end.
And what an end it is! At last, after hours of game play, you figure out the strange time conundrum; The entire time you've been playing as Big Boss, Solid Snake's genetic father! He who was at one time painted a villain on a nuclear scale is redrawn. You get to know the character and feel for him, and most of all, the ending cutscene slaps you in the face and makes it abundantly clear why Big Boss goes on to do what he did. If you think this story is anything short of fantastic, you have a very short attention span.
