what is the best story in any game (a conversation on stories in games)

[DigitalSushi]

Alley Cat. The story of a common scum bastard cat who lives in an alley. While sifting through the garbage one day, he looks up and spies a beautiful female cat in the window of an apartment high above him. Their eyes lock, it's love at first sight. The game is then the arduous journey to climb up to that window, high above dogs, clotheslines, other cats and projectiles being fired out windows, with the most obscure quit command on the face of the earth.

ok, so what happens when you get to the hot female cat?, I must know, its awesome!

Mother 3...

Strange, funny and heartrending.

I should do a review of it... If I can play it again without bursting into tears.

Also... Silent Hill, Bioshock, and TLoZ: Ocarina of Time.

Shadow of the Colossus.

Ditto. The last game I actually finished. Couldn't put it down.

I have four favourite storylines:
Resistance 2 - The ending was stunning
Call of Duty 4 - The ending, it made me really want to shoot that guy...
Oblivion - If you've played it you'll know
I-Ninja - Very rarish game, but still one of the best stories as you showed your master you weren't a good for nothing big headed ninja.

Game Boy Advance made my portable childhood...

Golden sun has both nice characters and plot twists that make you go wow.
Sword of Mana is awesome juice too.


Now, lets travel back to the 90's, specifically 1998:

LoZ:OoT
And I am almost inclined to say "/thread"


But yet, if we go up to (nearly) present day:

The year is 2007 and the indie adventure/exploration game Aquaria hits the stores.


Aquaria + LoZ:OoT + Golden sun
