Not that i'm a fan, but i'm going with Half Life series, only because its mostly true, not that i'm a fan, just saying, no need to fight, seriusly, thank you(still backing away).

Story/Plot wise
Chrono Cross
Xenogears (Despite the embarrassment of the second disc, this game would have been practically flawless for its time.)
Final Fantasy X (This may be arguable however I voted it purely because it went a different angle then its predecessors. The depression and somber existence of those of Spira was intriguing.)
Lunar Series (Character development wise this game is amazing.)
Suikoden II

I think The Asylum [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.62702] had one of the greatest stories ever... Actually, it had five of them.
So did Gateway 2, another casual game. That's another game that really provokes emotions.
As for mainstream titles...
I mentioned Majora's Mask and KH 1 and 2 in my last post here.
I also liked the story, inasmuch as there one was, of Super Mario Galaxy. The whole "Save Princess Peach yet again" plot was standard, but Rosalina's storybook really drew me in, it made me interested in finding out what happened next. But, saying anything good about a Mario game here... well, moving right along.
Of the Final Fantasy games, I thought X was the most moving, but I think X-2 is the most engaging, if only for its lack of linearity and its flexibility, but the plot really made me curious as to what would happen next.
I think Myst IV: Revelation had the best plot of any of the Myst games, actually. The whole "Dream" element was nothing short of fantastic.
Of the Silent Hill games, I actually thought 4 had the best story, it was certainly the most different from the others, and I thought the gameplay style wasn't nearly as bad as everyone thought.

hmmm starcraft was pretty damn good storytellin for an RTS
the half-life series as a whole is pretty sweet
idk why but Quake 2 had me nonstop playin
Deus Ex was awesome
if you ever heard of Darkwatch, i was swetting balls playin that. i know its not the best, immersive game out there, but i was like woooow
the original DoW had a pretty sweet story, even if i am jus a 40k fan

Surprisingly, Driver Parallel Lines' plot really enthralled me. I genuinely cared what happened to the characters in a way I've never done since.
Second Sight had an incredible (if a bit complex) plot. I wish I still had a working PS2 so I can play it again.

Driver??? lol (always lose the plot about 1/2 way through the games)Imbrium said:
Speaking of which, Did Tanner really Die at the end of driver 3, or will it be a cheesy 'Still Alive' scenario?
Speaking of which, anyone else think Jack Bauer commits succide at the end of season six of 24? (Are they making a seventh season)?
Planescape torment ranks high on my list after completing it. To find out who you are is the same time scary and exciting. (One of the best moments is the memory of freeing Morte)
Others are Portal (More story hidden here then you think), Broken Sword (damn you clown!), Longest Journey (Go funcom!), Grim fandango (In the land of the dead) and Halflife 2 (eps too). Kinda like being active in a cutscene, but at the same time not. Valve does this very well.
For comedy, most LucasArts adventure games and the sam and max seasons. (Really enjoy playing Curse of Money island.. again and again and again and again)
I Do not consider FF7 a very good story, but it has good set pieces and some great moments. I never got into Baldur's gate due to my hatred for those kind of games (class based, dnd like gameplay. Never found that fun.)

Congratulations! That is the correct answer.Lord_Ascendant said:
It's criminal that Homeworld isn't very well known because it's one of the finest games ever.
Im gonna get killed for this, but both Kingdom Hearts games on the Ps2 were insane in my books.
Mass Effect
I maintain that as being my favourite Video-game storyline of all time, it feels like some sort of Hollywood film or Star Wars epic. I seriously can't wait for Mass Effect 2

I agree that its like a novel but not in a good way. morrowind was just go here, read wall of text. that and the lackluster combat system meant I couldn't play the game for more than 30 minutes or so even though I spent many days in oblivion.Irrok the Wide said:
I largely agreee with you here.Indigo_Dingo said:
Resistance. havnt played unfortunately, Goldeneye was a fun game i agree...not a love game though ... Hitman : SA = brilliant game i agree not best though... LOZ : MM = Awesome BUT i standby my love of LOZ : OOT. GOW... brilliant story with a so-so multi...
Hmm i know loads of people will disagree with me but FF7 is the greatest game of all time and always will be especially with its amazing story. The FF series in general are awesome but 12 is a bit bland. Im hoping people see why i think this but i could list 500 games that should be ranked 9/10. I only buy games that i think wil be amazing since i hate disapointments that i have to spend as much as an amazing game.
All GTA since GTA 3 are amazing though GTA : SA = better than GTA IV since lack of modding cars.
Old Nintendo games inc. Super Mario Bros. 1-3 and Super Mario World as well as many other SNES games. Sonic Hedgehog old games on Sega MD.
There are so many games i could name that i love but the one that caused me most braintime is FF7, LOZ OOC is a close Second, SNES games together = 3rd.
