Metal Slug 3 is coming out this Wednesday, January 2 on Xbox LIVE Arcade and I found myself wondering, what is this Metal Slug series they speak of? Yes, I am a bad gamer for not knowing. Like any true internet nerd, I turned to wikipedia to educate myself.
"Metal Slug is a series of run and gun video games first released on Neo-Geo arcade machines and game consoles created by SNK." Yes, there's a lot more to the description but I can't be bothered to copy it.
All it took for me to want to try it out was a small exerpt about vomiting zombies and an Ostrich Slug. I truly don't think you can have fun without two party staples like those!
