I loved Syphon Filter when I was growing up watching my older brothers play at the time. I eventually was able to play the original Syphon Filter and thoroughly enjoyed it. When they released Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain, I loved how you were able to create your own character and select your different types of weapons. The customization was phenomenal for its time! I've longed for this to hit the streaming market so that I could play this game again on PC.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.
