Kojima has good ideas but for every two good ideas, he has a bad one as well. Ueda has good ideas only, and his games haven't disappointed so far. That said, I've only played Ico but I can already see I'm going to love SotC and TLG when I get to play them.
After MGS2, the Metal Gear series has gone downhill. MGS3 was a masterpiece but I never felt like it was a very good MGS. It felt too distant. MGS4 was good yet it ruined everything.
As for Cage, I've only played the demo of Heavy Rain and while I liked it, it's most definitely not a masterpiece.
