    Although I already know what everyone is going to vote for vote anyway. I personally have never played a Metal Gear Solid game long enough to get into it. I own Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow for the PSP and must admit that it's a very good game. I have also played Chaos Theory and Double Agent for as far as Splinter Cell goes. My vote goes to Syphon Filter. Also one quick question, is MGS the same type of game as SF and SC?
    Syphon Filter>Splinter Cell>Metal Gear Solid (I know you hate me)

    Splinter Cell has done the whole stealth thing best imo, but Metal Gear Solid is just a much better game. No other game has integrated a story as epic as MGS. Syphon Filter is good too, but is way out of it's league. MGS>Splinter Cell>Syphon Filter.

    Well MGS has MGS3.

    Splinter Cell has that awesome goggle sound.

    And I've never played Syphon Filter.:P

    So yeah I pick MGS.

    Metal Gear Solid is easily the better game of the series. I've told this to Shadow when I was getting him into the game. If you can beat MGS3 and fully understand the story you will be hooked. It's the most emotionally gripping game, and it's just damn fun. Only Splinter Cell game that has ever interested me is Conviction because it's running on the Assassin's Creed engine.

    I had all 3 Syphon Filters that came out for PSX and they were very good games for their generation. I don't think MGS fits entirely into that category, though.

    I'd say MGS>Syphon Filter>Splinter Cell

    I never got into the Splinter Cell series. I liked the first Syphon Filter on the PS. It's one of my favorite games, but the MGS series is just epic and is one of my favorite video game series ever.

    The MGS series is amazing. Nothing compared to anything else I've ever played.
