I am currently enjoying the short missions in "Metal Gear Solid: Portable OPS" (or Pops as I like to call it). With my busy schedule, it's important for me to be able to drop out of a game at any time, and resume later one without having to redo an exhilaratingly long mission. That's why I enjoy games like "Portable OPS" and "Gears of War". With "Gears of War", you can pickup from your last checkpoint, so there's no need to restart everything. I know for a lot of gamers, frequent save points cheapens the game, but developers should at least give gamers their preferred option. With the popularity of both of these titles, hopefully we'll see a trend startup. Last thing I want is another save game fiasco like in "Dead Rising".
