- latova, on 04/19/2008, -16/+343I definitely think the Half Life series deserves to be on that list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex - Ninjao, on 04/19/2008, -3/+84I loved the Half life 1 and 2 stories...
- bradbeattie, on 04/19/2008, -16/+93Planescape: Torment on the list? Check.
God of War? Uh... don't get me wrong. I thought the game was fun and all that, but I wouldn't call it brimming with story. - BuckleButt, on 04/19/2008, -31/+100Don't kill me, but Portal shouldn't be there. You're a patient-prisoner in a strange research facility that you eventually escape from. Nothing more to it than that. If the list was "best story presentation," I'd include it.
Beyond Good & Evil ftw though. - killbert24, on 04/19/2008, -3/+67I thought the story in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was pretty good myself. The ending was long and satisfying, and even though many characters don't speak-- you still get very engrossed and care!
- xtremepizan, on 04/19/2008, -1/+62Without a doubt - Katamari Damacy.
"My dad is God and he done broke'd the universe" - Koush, on 04/19/2008, -9/+70Grand Theft auto? Beyond good and evil? Astro boy? God of War? I felt these games story was simply ok nothing more.
I mean, None of these games could even hold a candle to an amazing story game like Grim Fandango which really felt like a story from beginning to end. - 0260, on 04/19/2008, -3/+61Max payne 2 and Mafia deserve to be there.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -0/+52Well, I'm stupid. I numbered them but I probably shouldn't have as the list didn't. Sorry.
- reclusiveraider, on 04/19/2008, -5/+518 PAGES!?
- Zihuatanejo, on 04/19/2008, -1/+46Grim Fandango was the *****.
- carrielynn01, on 04/19/2008, -5/+49No Chronotrigger, no Max Payne....fail.
- Scigrex14, on 04/19/2008, -1/+44Most of the games on that list deserve their spot, but one game was absent that definitely deserves a spot on that list is Eternal Darkness. The depth of the story was awesome, and all the characters and how they fit into the overarching plot is just mind blowing. If you have not played Eternal Darkness then go out and try to get a copy and play it on your Wii.
- typicalusername, on 04/19/2008, -1/+41Fallout 2 was the most amazing game of it's day. Even now, I'm aching to play another game like it. We need another stream of innovation to gaming. You only see about 2 original titles a year now.
- MasterPlayer, on 04/19/2008, -2/+39Thanks, 8 pages and popup ads ftl.
- galeninjapan, on 04/19/2008, -3/+39***** story, just point me to the evil ninjas that kidnapped the president.
- SumguyTwentyOne, on 04/19/2008, -2/+37Where is Deus Ex?
- CaptainKrontos, on 04/19/2008, -5/+34HAHAHAHA the cake is a lie, right!? Man, I remember when that happened in the videogame Portal.
Cake is a lie. Never gets old. Never. - trer, on 04/19/2008, -0/+29Xenogears is missing as is Chrono Trigger. Two of the best stories ever.
- bigmuffpi, on 04/19/2008, -0/+29Grim Fandango and Astro Boy FTW.
FFVI, but... no Xenogears? O_o - psevium, on 04/19/2008, -2/+30One storyline I loved was Diablo. Tal Rasha and the other fellas pursue Baal, blast him with spells, lock him in the shard of the soulstone jammed into Tal Rashas chest, chained in a tomb forever, pulled out when the wanderer and Diablo come along to free him, Tyrael shows up and bashes Diablo, everyone ***** everyones ***** up, you get some cramps from clicking too much, then wind up killing the Prime Evils. Awesome
- magic6435, on 04/19/2008, -2/+29DeusEx Wins this fight hands down. No else need bother joining.
- latova, on 04/19/2008, -4/+31The generic space marine shooter story has been told all too much.
- MaxMWood, on 04/19/2008, -3/+27Buried for inacurate. No one completes GTA, they just blow ***** up.
- jdames1980, on 04/19/2008, -1/+24Dugg for FFVI.. I don't agree with God of War being on that list though. Where is Earthbound?
- onin1911, on 04/19/2008, -1/+23clearly forgot about Max Payne
- Senturion, on 04/19/2008, -3/+23No System Shock 2?
FAIL. - BuckleButt, on 04/19/2008, -5/+24Like I said, it was presented very well, but the plot was as basic as they come.
- brock2020, on 04/19/2008, -3/+21How about Dues Ex and Splinter Cell?
- magic6435, on 04/19/2008, -2/+20epic epic fail. by far the best game ever made. to bad the 2nd was dumbed down for the console audience and with a crappy port. :(
the original creator is talking about coming back and doing DeuxEx 3 in the vain of the original. - inactive, on 04/19/2008, -0/+17Where was Monkey Island too?!
- Chompy, on 04/19/2008, -0/+16Zeus is basically what would happen if a frat boy became a God.
- Grommy, on 04/19/2008, -4/+20I always thought FF6 was better. Aeris dying wasn't THAT shocking and other than that the story is pretty bland in FF7.
- cerealjynx, on 04/19/2008, -1/+16OMG I went to reply to your comment and the second I hit reply, I FELL THROUGH THE FLOOR WTF
- zephyr42, on 04/19/2008, -2/+17God yes.
- grimward, on 04/19/2008, -2/+17Get a real browser :D
- jgtg32a, on 04/19/2008, -2/+17Crono Trigger?
- MasterGrief, on 04/19/2008, -3/+18I don't like Gangstas either, man, but GTA San Andreas had a pretty involving story. It was obvious they'd spent a lot of time on it, and I certainly liked it a lot.
- KirbyPufocia, on 04/19/2008, -0/+14Yes, clearly the quality of a story is in direct proportion to the number of copies the game sold.
- saucygitaristak, on 04/19/2008, -2/+15It wasn't Fission Mailed by any means, it was just more of a *****
- longhorn627, on 04/19/2008, -4/+17I would of liked to see Ocarina of Time, the story is one of the reasons its one of the only singleplayer games that ive completed multiple times.
- hydroplane, on 04/19/2008, -2/+15I always wondered what the back story for Karnov was. How and why was this Russian carney traveling back in time fighting dinosaurs and other weird *****.
- DJ1101, on 04/19/2008, -2/+15the half life story is a little confusing at first, but it IS a really good story. Also, the half life story isn't even over yet, we still have to see what happens in episode 3.
- staticneuron, on 04/19/2008, -6/+19Your right. Why must people confuse a Storyline with an environment. The dry wit, the humor, the puzzles are all apart of the ambiance but when you get down into story the games story was quite simple. Hat it or love it even halo had more of a story.
- Matt174e, on 04/19/2008, -0/+11You know, there's a polite way to help people.
- Arcan, on 04/19/2008, -0/+10I, too, was shocked at the lack of Chrono Trigger. Really, its the only RPG that I actually wanted to play through again after I beat it (and not just for the many many alternate endings).
- ICSU, on 04/19/2008, -0/+10also Half-Life, Monkey Island and Max Payne series, and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
- bj1989, on 04/19/2008, -3/+13Call me childish but I thought Ocarina of time had a pretty good story too, a thousand times better than San Andreas - no offense - anyway
