Stand to attention....

This week I am going to do a Top 5 list. A Top 5 on the best soldiers in video games, in my opinion. I'll only be talking about soldiers in video games I've played.

At #5 Chris Redfield enters. He worked for S.T.A.R.S and later BSAA. While S.T.A.R.S is a part of the RCPD (Raccoon City Police Department), BSAA can classify as a military organization due to the nature of their work. While they are one organization they do have different teams for different locations, such as the Europe BSAA or the Far East BSAA, it seems that Chris' team goes over the world. Chris Redfield as been to Africa, China and Europe.

At #4 it's Chains from the Payday series. The reason I picked him is that in his back story it is said that Chains has been in the military for 10 years. The fact that he is vet means he is instantly a bad-ass and means he is well suited to be a heister. He also has ties to the cameo character, John Wick who is also awesome (unfortunately not Keanu Reeves in the game).

At #3 my favourite alien, Garrus. Personally I prefer Garrus as a character over Shepard. Shepard did save the universe from the reapers but lets be honest, Garrus is a bad-ass. Smart and deadly with a sniper, Garrus also loves making calibrations. Him, Mordin and Liara are the only characters I wouldn't want to die in the series. 

At #2 is the super soldier, 117. Yes in the 2nd spot, Master Chief resides. John was chosen for the Spartan program at the age of 6, and out of 150 candidates John and 74 others were conscripted into the UNSC. In the HALO storyline John is currently AWOL, and on the 27th of October we'll see why he went AWOL.

Finally, at #1 is the one and only, Big Boss, aka Naked/Venom/Punished Snake (Or one of his many other names). Its obvious why. He is probably the most iconic soldier in video game history. He survived radiation from a Davy Crockett, he stopped WW3, he is the "father" to Solid, Solidus and Liquid Snake. Not to mention that he also developed CQC with The Boss. We will finally get to see his story end on September 1st.

This weeks song is "New Order" by Elegia. You might recognise it from the MGS V E3 2015 trailer. This song sends chills down my spine and I think it is a good song. This proves that not all songs need lyrics to convey emotions. Check it out below and until next week o7.
