It's just a great combination. Why are movies made about videogames? Why are videogames made out of movies? People like them both and like seeing their characters and worlds in both mediums (even if most attempts don't get the budget they need to do wel). MGS combines them. You get great gameplay mixed with great story. Having to beat a boss to see the next cutscene is a great reward system. I can play the game as a test of skill or watch it as a movie after I beat it once; both are done well enough to do either. That's why it's considered one of the best game series.
