My favourite out of the two ? MGS4 no doubt.

For those that actually "got" what the game is saying and at least partially understood the mind bending ideological depth of the story, the game is not only the best and most relevant in the series but for those like me that care about this stuff, the best game ever made.

On the other hand, as a pure "gaming" experience, MGS4 may fall short compared to non story driven games like Mario or whatever other strictly gameplay VG.

As an experience though, MGS4 > SMG by miles.

Would you mind explaining this? I wasn't aware that there was any particularly deep theme running through MGS4 - I thought it was all kind of right there on the surface, but I would be gladly corrected.

I wouldn't know where to begin really. It is just too much to write on this subject. I can however recommend you a good read which, while only scratching the surface, it is fairly well written and presented.

So try the MGS4 Complete Official Guide. It is a good start, as it has a general analysis of MGS4's story and overall MG universe in the light of MGS4's revelations, but i should recommend using the book only as a matter of confronting it with one's own conclusions and not as a means to quickly learn the intended meaning.
