I would have voted for MGS4 if the game play was longer and the cut scenes made sense, I know the full story of MGS very well but as I was watching a lot of the cut scenes especially towards the end, I'm like, well I don't wanna spoil it so I'm just going to ask a simple question, why in the hell were they using swords instead of pewpewing with bullets and get it over with!?!?!?! That aspect of MGS4 was awful where since they want to get you on the emotional side, they lost all sense of reality while trying to make you believe into a conspiracy that's so far fetched that you'd just go "wtf?" if you had a pretty well working brain. The final fight was of course, very epic, but I seriously liked Kojima's other works better than this one in particular.
SMG is just a good game with a ton of replay value and it leaves the story telling in your hands, if you don't want to know the back story, don't bother read it, if you want to, go ahead and find out and it doesn't take very long to go through, it's a true video game in essence and that's why it's so good. Call me old school, but I don't even care about stories that much unless it's a RPG game because I started gaming when nobody needed stories and it was all about fun, and SMG is damn fun, so I'm going with Galaxy.
edit: Beauty and the Beast Corp is hhhaaaaawwwwtttttt though!
