I'm sure he names MGS because it's the game that's made him so much money for one thing. But also because it's the game that let him tell a story the way he most wants it told. All the other games are because they were the most exciting games to play for their time or because they were just plain fun to play.

 

Besides any japanese developer would be a fool not to include a Miyamoto game in his list... you know like Itagaki who actually said he could make a better mario game than him.

MGS is still considered one of the best of the group beating MGS3 and the more current MGS4 for top spot.
