MGS and the classic Hitman games(Absolution isn't bad either though more of a stealth shooter) have great stealth but all of it is a bit dated. My personal favorite recent stealth games are probably Human Revolution and Far Cry 3. HR is just awesome in the way you can slip through enemy positions unnoticed and then hack a turret to mow them all down. FC3 is also versatile in the way you can approach stealth as it gives you so many possibilities to dispatch enemies. It mixes open world and stealth in awesome ways. Nothing quite beats infiltrating a base to lay mines at every exit and then retreating into the hills for a clean headshot with an unsilenced sniper rifle only to let the mines do the rest. Or releasing the cage of a wild animal on unsuspecting guards.
I also quite like Sniper Elite V2 though its a far inferior game compared to FC3, but there are parts of the game where everything falls into place and which are just so awesome. I wish more games that had you playing as a silent assassin would incorporate the X-Ray kill cam. When done right it mixes the excitement of stealth with the satisfaction of a succesful enemy dispatch. Dishonored is fantastic as well though the setting is a bit too linear and Corvo a bit too overpowered to really be an exciting stealth game. It gives you so much tools which are just way too much fun not to use.
