The Game: Merry Gear Solid 2: Ghosts of Christmas Past
Genre: Holiday Espionage Action
Platform: PC
The Scoop: Last month this column highlighted Merry Gear Solid, a fantastically quirky, funny, and well-designed holiday stealth action game. Creator Arthur Lee thankfully had more plans for Solid Santa and co.
In Merry Gear Solid 2, Old Snake is on an adventure to retrieve Santa's Hat from an extremist group known as the Ghosts of Christmas Past. Players have several new gadgets at their disposal, and will need to use them all to successfully infiltrate the Outer Savin' mall.
What makes Merry Gear Solid 2 so awesome is that it doesn't just lean on its humor. The game is full of sly references to the MGS franchise and holiday cheer in general, but the actual game underneath is polished and very fun. Play it!
