See above post. This isn't an attack on MGS but video games in general. 

Makes sense.

Comparing cinema, literature, or even select music (Although I'd give the game industry the edge to the current music industry) to videogames does seem silly.

For some reason cinema, and especially literature, is much better at creating a developed and believable atmosphere, despite the fact that you're actually immersed in that atmosphere when you play a videogame.
I'd say the biggest thing the other forms of media have over videogames is character development. For some reason characterization has been thrown out the window in videogames.

but there are also many things books and movies doesn't have, which video games do have.. and that's why we play them.. :P

Which, in turn, shows why they have so much more potential laden into their very nature.
