Metal Gear Solid 4
Kojima Productions | Konami

While some would criticize the game's heavy-handed storytelling, no one can seriously suggest the gameplay is flawed. The new camera and controls for MGS4 are accessible for more gamers than ever before. Snake has an impressive arsenal of moves, and gamers are able to tackle each situation any way they want. Don't want to be stealthy? You don't have to. Want to avoid killing a single enemy? Go for it. Very few games offer the depth and flexibility of MGS4's nuanced gameplay.
