Games that are considered 'Classics'

[Cronozilla]

Stealth games are actually pretty empowering when done right. You're basically a predator playing with your prey.

The issue is in games that are strict on the stealth and make you lose just because you slipped up. That isn't so much fun.

But, I think it really is a mistake to put Metal Gear anything in the stealth category. It is an action game with stealth abilities.

It's about as optionally stealthy as Far Cry (1) or Crysis (1).
