Metal Gear Solid

This old classic has aged gracefully. The controls are so crisp and responsive it makes me want to go back and give Fear Effect an even lower star rating. The radio system was a stroke of brilliance, I love the little picture of the person you are talking to and the banter that goes back and forth. Despite the fact that every stealth game, and every ill conceived stealth section which was shoe horned into a game was partially informed by the mile stone opus, very few ever came close to doing as good a job as this one does. Except of course for the Batman Arkham games. Those are the best stealth games ever.
