Every Metal Gear game that matters, one box, no excuses. Metal Gear Solid The Legacy Collection 1987-2012 for PlayStation 3 is Konami's definitive anthology of Hideo Kojima's stealth masterwork, spanning 25 years of tactical espionage action across nine titles. You're getting Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3 HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Edition, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker HD Edition, and Metal Gear Solid VR Missions.

That's not a greatest hits compilation. That's the entire saga. The two exclusive Ashley Wood bande dessinee graphic novels, upscaled in HD and released for the first time in North America and Latin America, add a layer of storytelling you can't find anywhere else.

Then there's the 100-page artbook spanning the full quarter-century history of the franchise. For anyone who's followed Snake from MSX to PS3, this is the archive. The craftsmanship here is undeniable.

Konami treated this like a museum piece, and given what's happened to the franchise since, that feels prophetic. Finding a complete copy with the artbook and graphic novels intact is getting harder every year. This collection represents a creative vision that we may never see replicated in gaming.

If you care about preserving the history of this medium, Legacy Collection isn't optional.
