There's a good chance that, at some point in your life, you've been so enamored of a piece of media that you've considered what it'd be like to experience it for the first time again. Watching Terminator 2, hearing Enter the Wu-Tang, and reading The Dark Knight Returns shaped who I am and, as a result, I remember the moments I experienced them with crystal clarity. Over time, however, those memories have become divorced from the emotions they stirred and what's left in their place is a longing for those lost feelings.Video games are the only medium that I think are capable of making that first-time-again fantasy a reality--or as close to one as we're going to get. Time puts distance between us and the emotionally significant moments we cherish, but it also brings us closer to exciting technologies that can make the old feel new. In the right hands, those technologies can create opportunities to stoke those profound emotions again, even if it's just a little. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater does exactly that.Before getting into what's new, what can't be overlooked in making Delta such a good game is the fact that Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remains a compelling, well-told story that has strong characterization and deals with some heavy subject matter. It approaches this with a strange mixture of self-seriousness and complete irreverence that is uniquely Metal Gear Solid and, for my money, balances both parts better than any other entry in the series. The stellar stealth is supported by systems that feed into the fantasy of surviving in the jungle and braving the elements, whether that be hunting for food or patching yourself up after sustaining injuries. Delta replicates it and, in my opinion, is better for it. The excellent work that the original Metal Gear Solid 3 dev team did remains the heart and soul of Delta, and it continues to shine.Continue Reading at GameSpot

We continue to get more player ratings for the upcoming NBA 2K26, and the latest set reveals who the game's best dunkers are. Specifically, this ranks the the top 10 dunkers based on their Driving Dunk stat, which helps represent those players who are best at pulling off a spectacular dunk on the court.This is a continuation of ratings week for 2K26, and we've already gone over the top 10 lists for the best three-point shooters, best handles, and best rookies. Anthony Edwards - 97 (Driving Dunk)Anthony Edwards leads the list of dunkers in NBA 2K26, and for good reason. No one had more flashy dunks over the course of last season than Ant. Ja Morant - 96 (Driving Dunk)Ja Morant comes in right behind Anthony Edwards at 96 OVR. If some of Morant's attempted dunks from the last two or three seasons had gone in, we'd probably be talking about him in the number one spot. Nevertheless, Morant is still one of the elite dunkers in the NBA. Jalen Johnson - 96 (Driving Dunk)Jalen Johnson is a player that's really come into his own the past two seasons, and he's flown under the radar as one of the best dunkers in the NBA since he was drafted four years ago. Johnson regularly puts on a show playing the Hawks, and he's had some of the most jaw-dropping dunks in the league recently. Amen Thompson - 96 (Driving Dunk)Amen Thompson is a young player who is on the verge of becoming a superstar. His sheer athleticism is something to behold every night he steps on the court, and his dunks have only been improving since being drafted by the Rockets. Shaedon Sharpe - 95 (Driving Dunk)Shaedon Sharpe is another underrated dunker who has become a near-20-point scorer for the Trail Blazers during the past two seasons. Many fans have wanted to see him compete in the Dunk Contest, so perhaps we'll finally get him included in 2026. Jaylen Brown - 94 (Driving Dunk)Jaylen Brown might be remembered most for a lackluster Dunk Contest in 2025, but let's put that aside and think about all of his miraculous dunks from the regular and postseason in the 2020s. Brown delivers some of the best posters in the NBA year in and year out, and his rating is right where it should be. Derrick Jones Jr. - 94 (Driving Dunk)Some players in the NBA have made a career off being able to dunk the ball, and while Derrick Jones Jr. is a good defender, his dunking ability is his best offensive skill. He won the 2020 Dunk Contest over another member of this top 10 list, cementing his place in NBA dunking lore. Zach LaVine - 94 (Driving Dunk)Zach LaVine is another spectacular dunker in the NBA, particularly due to his Dunk Contest performance in 2016. LaVine has remained elite in this regard as he's transitioned to a few different teams. Aaron Gordon - 94 (Driving Dunk)Aaron Gordon is perhaps the most well-known and highly-regarded dunker of his generation. Multiple Dunk Contest finals appearances and consistent dunking performances throughout his time in the NBA has cemented his status. It's only appropriate the top 10 would include someone who pulled off a game-wining, buzzer-beating dunk in this past year's playoffs. Zion Williamson - 93 (Driving Dunk)Rounding out the list is Zion Williamson, a player who can still pull off incredible dunks when he's playing, though he is often not on the court consistently, as Zion has certainly dealt with his fair share of injuries over the years.
