'Metal Gear Solid 4' makes me happy to own a PS3

OK, why can't any other developers make PS3 games as fantastic as MGS4?

With awesome live support, achievements, easy-as-pie online updates and my huge friend list, it's hard to tear myself away from the Xbox 360, but MGS4 has totally captivated me.

I think the graphics in this latest episode of the MGS series are stunning and the gameplay is spot-on.

And speaking of gameplay, there's something for everyone here. I was a little guilt-ridden by taking advantage of cool weapons the game offers up... I mean, c'mon, it's a MGS game and I figure I'm supposed to be using stealth techniques. But, the game dumped so many cool weapons in my lap, I just couldn't resist the temptation to start blasting everyone. I've gotten over my guilt.

I'm only a few hours into the game (a co-worker spent 60+ hours beating the game on Big Boss level) and it's been a bewildering but enjoyable ride.

Get ready for baffling cutscenes, insane action, stealthy stalking, goofy bathroom humor and gaming greatness. If you have a PS3, get this game now. If you don't have a PS3, find 460 bucks and get this game and a system now.

What are your thoughts? Are you enjoying MGS4?
