THE STORY  Nitzan Mintz and Dede Bandaid are Jewish street artists. They design individual posters using…

A wise fictional character once said that war never changes, and if you play Snake Eater, you’d be hard pressed to argue. A remake of 2004’s cold war PS2 classic, Konami has dropped the three from the title and replaced it with a delta – but, make no mistake, this is the jungle-roaming jaunt almost exactly as you remember it. Without Hideo Kojima at the helm, Konami has sensibly not meddled with any story beats of this madcap masterpiece, instead pouring its energy into lavishly rendered art and adding slicker modern controls.Still, if there’s any PS2 title that can pass…

This makes India – one of the US’s strongest partners in the Indo-Pacific – among the countries paying the highest tariffs in the world.
