You may (or may not have heard) that the metro newspaper, a widely read free newspaper for londoners, recently gave MGS4 a review score of 6 out of 10 which can be summarised by this quote:
"Solid Snake is back, older, wiser, but unfortunately, if gameplay is anything to go by, more arthritic and boring. In truth, the MGS series has always been rather unfathomable - a fanboy favourite that mystifies and inspires in equal measure. The plot is so utterly overblown that it's pointless delving too deep - imagine an art house remake of a Jean Claude Van Damme movie (there's a twin brother, global conspiracy, genetic engineering and, erm, a laughing octopus)"
On the surface this looks like a typical piss-poor attempt of reviewing an excellent game (especially as they stated that the game is available on the Xbox 360), but delving deeper reveals a conspiracy that not even Ocelot could have predicted.
The day after the review was posted I spotted something strange in the science and technology section of the newspaper:
Read 'Vitamin wars':
GENOME SOLDIERS!!!
Proof that the Metro is run by the patriots and that the review was a ruse to keep people from buying the game thus training to take down the patriots.

Also that's a terrible excuse for a review. I'm not saying reviewers have to like the game, but they shouldn't be bias, which this one clearly was.
Also the metro isn't just for Londoners, we get it too, although it's localised.
Facepalm Vamp does not approve.

Still a great game, but you have to know you are stepping into crazy town when you play that game.
Oh Agyness Deyn! When will you get your shit together!
a Savannah newspaper also claimed that you could "win thong clad girls as prizes" in Grand Theft Auto Vice City
tl;dr fuck newspapers when it comes to gaming
I'm gonna have to adjust that belief a little.

Sunny developed a remarkably important chunk of the virus, removing the patriots only from the system. Keeping medicine, transport, economy and other important aspects of normal US society intact. The fact that FOXALIVE virus did the complete opposite of FOXDIE made the name quite obvious. It's the most obvious and fitting name for the virus.

I don't see how that could confuse anyone.
