"Metal Gear Solid" or "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell"?

Thief! But Splinter Cell for better movement and for me more interesting options, but MGS is great for the wacky plots and endearing maddens of it all. MGS does have the cooler title, too. But I'm going to pick SC as I just prefer the controls/approach more.

If Thief was on option, that'd be my choice as my favorite "stealth" game.

 

I forgot another reason I'll always choose Metal Gear is because it is a root of Stealth games. The only stealth game I can think of that came before it is Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein.
