There are very few franchises that have survived as long as the “Metal Slug” series has, without fundamental changes to their gameplay.

However, “Metal Slug 7” is different, for a host of different reasons… but is it better? And the definitive answer is … Kinda? “Metal Slug 7” takes the long... Read Full Story
