Sounding more and more like fact than fiction each season, Spooks has returned with this it’s 6th season DVD release. The show, known as MI5 to our American cousins is a television drama set around a group of people working for the British Security Services. Before season 6 each episode was of the standalone variety where only limited aspects carried on to the next episode. This time mimicking 24, Spooks uses the entire season to run just one storyline about a train bomb in Iran, then going to Iran’s attempts to gain nuclear weapons to challenge the west.

There are some nice character moments with a greater overall production quality to each episode than prior seasons. The story is gripping in places and just within in the realms of believability. There are a couple of slow episodes but that can be said of any show. Overall, Spooks season 6 on DVD is a really interesting piece of television, it will take repeat viewings and with an open ending that will be continued in the seventh season showing on the BBC this month it really is an essential watch for anyone planning on seeing the newest episodes on television. Season 5 made Spooks appear as though it was running out of story ideas, some stories were recycled from prior seasons and season 6 could have easily gone the same way. Happily the single story for a season idea has made it truly amazing once more. Spooks season 6 is out now on DVD in the UK.

We promise this is the last MGS story for a while as we are getting fatigue as much as
you are! Still this is news. In a new interview 4’s producer Ryan Payton has come out
with an idea that is being bounced around over a storyline for Metal Gear Solid 5.

Apparently “[there is] a lot of room for filling in the gaps as far as Big Boss is concerned.”

While it was given as a huge PR promo that MGS4 would be the last game in the
series it is now being said that Kojima Productions was misunderstood in that
respect and that the game would only be the last one with writer/director
Kojima himself and the last game with Solid Snake as the main character.

For the most part however we are sure there will be plenty of people who
will be happy to play another sequel in the long running franchise that brings
reality to the term from The Simpsons Game trailer “out on every console, ever made.”

What does this mean for you? Yet another Metal Gear Solid PR campaign coming soon
and depending on your point of view another good or bad game. No question though
even more stories about Kojima & Co.
