Starting with the Man in the Mirror – a Fractured Analysis of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (SPOILERS)

VenomSnake

I dump out all of my thoughts regarding the last proper entry in the Metal Gear franchise. I wrote this post three years ago, only two years after the game had come out. That’s what we call “timely”!

Bond 50 Lineup
