Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has revealed his top five games, which just happen to include Metal Gear Solid.
According to Gamerush, Kojima was speaking to Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun.
He listed the Super Mario Bros. series, Outer World and Xevious as being amongst the most memorable and influential games for him, along with Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (an '80s adventure game released only in Japan). And, of course, Metal Gear Solid.
"Games are a composite art that evolves absorbing new technologies," Kojima said. Jolly good.

To be fair, it's not really done to include your own bloody games when someone asks a developer to name their top 5.

from an interview with geezer buttler (black sabbath bass player)
what is your favorite heavy metal album? "MasterS of reality by black sabbath" (he got the name of his own album wrong) this is similarly ridiculous! |

Outer World/Another really is the super awesome, Fumito Ueda recently sited this as influencial as well I think.

If Outer world = Another World by Eric Chahi, I couldn't agree more with Ideo. One of the best game ever.

Ellie didn't actually read the original article BTW.
The Yomiuri article said: "Asked to mention memorable or influential games for him, Kojima cited five: the ultrapopular Super Mario Bros series and Port Pia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken, both first released in 1985, Xevious, first marketed in 1984, Outer World, released in 1992, and MGS, in 1998." |

@spongebob
I'd say Another World was a piece of art. Every aspect of it was one man's uncompromised vision. Not to reopen the old can of worms, but all videogames involve pieces of art, even if they can't always (and usually can't) be considered art in and of themselves. But just because the gallery isn't art, doesn't mean the art within isn't either. And that includes galleries full of crap art, of which there are many.

I think we all inferred a little snigger in the subtitle though, didn't we? |

"To be fair, it's not really done to include your own bloody games when someone asks a developer to name their top 5." Why not? I know in essence, a designer is meant to step back and think of the audience to make design decisions, but all I take from this is that he was fortunate enough to be in the main audience for a game he has worked on. If the question would have been "name the 5 most influential games", then I would agree with you. |

My God, what a cock he is!
As opposed to how humble, let's say... Cliffy B. and Gabe Newell are? |

"I'd suggest you happen to think that this makes him a cock then." Yeah, when I read the subtitle I did think something along those lines. But then I read the article and found out it was pretty much pulled out of the air. I think there's a huge difference between saying your own game was memorable and saying your own game was one of the top 5 games ever. |
