1998: Konami releases Metal Gear Solid for PS in Japan. From here until the end of time, big guns and killing a bajillion enemies would be far less impressive than sneaking around said enemies. It's amazing that Commando star Schwarzenegger is governor after the influence of Solid Snake. Because who are you going to pick in a fight? You've got to see Snake to shoot Snake, and I think that red eye is just for show, Terminator. Plus, Snake smokes, which gives him an edge in terms of attitude. Who do you guys think? Solid Snake or any of Schwarzenegger's weaklings?
2002: EA releases The Sims: Unleashed expansion for PC in the US. Commonly misconceived as a game about buying a puppy, Unleashed is actually short for Ebola Unleashed. "This time, The Sims go plague! Avoid monkeys, interact with other Sims in your quarantine zone, or start a family doomed for a bloody coughing death."
