Metal Gear Solid games are known and loved for two main things: thrilling stealth action where you’ll hide under boxes and distract patrolling guards so you can penetrate highly secured installations, and strongly cinematic storylines putting many Hollywood efforts to shame.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - the final entry in series star Solid Snake’s story arc - sets new standards in tactical espionage action and videogame storytelling.
With a world dominated by warring arms developers and private armies, Solid Snake is brought in to ensure an old enemy doesn’t get the upper hand.
Featuring the best graphics to date for the PlayStation 3, MGS4 is an epic and fitting conclusion to one of gaming’s most respected series.Read more game news & reviews at Gameplayer.com.au

Already having mastered the multiplayer first-person shooter with the award winning Battlefield series of games, developer DICE have turned their creative efforts to producing a top-notch single player experience as well.
Battlefield Bad Company details a war between the US and the fictional Russian Federation country of Serdaristan.

With deformable terrain (allowing you to destroy your enemy’s cover), a large 24 person multiplayer component and free updates on their way, this is the definitive Battlefield experience for consoles.

Race Driver: GRID is developer Codemasters’ new generation follow up to its V8 Supercars series (also known as TOCA Race Driver in the UK). And while it lacks the local angle (sadly, no Bathurst in this one), there’s still plenty to see and do in this world-spanning racing game.
While there are plenty of single races, championship and time-trial drives to be taken, the central experience of GRID revolves around the comprehensive career mode. Here, you start as a newcomer and must win fan and sponsor support to conquer the racing world.
With new high-definition graphics, gorgeous tracks and a huge selection of cars to race in, GRID is a worthy successor to a venerable series.
