Show of the Week: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

Metal Gear has not traditionally been something with which Xbox players are au fait. It's a fauna-filled universe of Snakes, Mantises and Ocelots that's all but impenetrable if you haven't been playing the series since Metal Gear Solid on the PS1. Or aren't David Attenborough. With Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, though, you have the perfect standalone opportunity to dip your toe into the universe while also chopping everything within a five-mile radius to bits. This week we took exactly that opportunity.
