Review: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (PC)

The whack-a-doodle nonsense of the Metal Gear universe is delivered by Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Within the first 30 or 45 minutes, cyborg protagonist Raiden guts a towering Metal Gear then "befriends" a (sadly underutilized) robot dog. Why? There's something about child soldiers, private military contractors, Raiden's past life as "Jack the Ripper" and in all likelihood a Ronco product that slices, dices, and minces.

I'm unclear as to why Konami releases details of Metal Gear Solid game. Does anyone really know what's going? Never mind the larger narrative and connection between games in a series that spans more than 25 years, I have trouble following what happens moment to moment.
