Best Story Rich Video Games

Video games have a near endless potential for story. They present an opportunity for players to actually be a character, not just in their heads but in the actions taken and the dialogue they choose. Unlike TV and film, there's less requirement that it be in the real world, with less need for expensive special effects. The result is a medium that can reach higher emotional points than others, but only when it has a great, story-focused development team behind it.

Needless to say, that's not common, so we've compiled a list of all the best stories in gaming.
