 {{SwitchableText|caption=Metal Gear games|
+|info=The Metal Gear (メタルギア, Metaru Gia) series is a series of stealth games created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. In the series, the player takes control of a Special Forces Operative (Solid Snake in most games) repeatedly facing off against the latest incarnation of the eponymous superweapon "Metal Gear": a bipedal walking tank with nuclear launching capabilities. The series is famous for pioneering the stealth game genre, for its lengthy cinematic cut scenes, intricate storylines, fourth wall-breaking sense of humor, and its exploration of the nature of politics, warfare, environmentalism, censorship, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, loyalty, reality, subjective vs. universal truths, and other philosophical themes. The series has achieved great success, selling more than 50 million copies as of late 2010-early 2011.
