I wouldn't vote myself under the circumstances but I don't mind if people do. Up to you.

Re: MGS2 - If only they had put all that on the back of the box. Ok, a lot less sales to teenagers but I might have looked at it.

I hope my votes count, even though I'm late as usual.
It's weird that I voted for nearly all the GTA games even though I'm not a HUGE fan of them. I do enjoy them though.
