The Witcher (PC DVD)The Witcher (PC DVD)
Buy new: £9.84 / Used from: £11.99
What game is more deserving of being number one on this list? Not only a great plot, but a revolutionary one, which includes many touchy subjects such as racism and global warming.
Mass Effect (Xbox 360)Mass Effect (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £44.56 / Used from: £12.98
Best story on xbox 360? No doubt about it. It's a must have for anyone who wants a great story to get sucked into.
Half-Life 2: Game of the Year Edition (PC DVD)Half-Life 2: Game of the Year Edition (PC DVD)
Buy new: £14.84 / Used from: £14.00
The first half life's plot, and it's expansions were amazing, but what half life 2 has done is make it even better. It will keep you hooked and thrilled until the tragic end of episode 2.
Jade Empire: Special Edition (PC CD)Jade Empire: Special Edition (PC CD)
Buy new: £7.77 / Used from: £3.67
All the games above are about plots. This game's story is fantastic, but what really shines about Jade Empire is it's variety of characters.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)
Buy used from: £12.00
Where would games be without KOTOR? It contains one of the most jaw - dropping plot twists ever.
Neverwinter Nights 2 (PC DVD)Neverwinter Nights 2 (PC DVD)
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £6.94
Some people hate it, some love it. But there is one thing people can't deny, it has some pretty great characters. The plot is a little unoriginal, but it's still fantastic. I highly reccommend it.
Crysis (PC DVD)Crysis (PC DVD)
Buy new: £16.79 / Used from: £15.99
When people mention the word Crysis, the first thing that pops to mind is the mind blowing graphics in this game. But what I think stands out is it's hollywood quality plot.
Halo 3 (Xbox 360)Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £27.97 / Used from: £10.99
Not exactly the best story on this list, but it's an excellent finale, with a booming soundtrack to give it an added bonus.
The Darkness (Xbox 360)The Darkness (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £15.11 / Used from: £5.80
Dark, disturbing and heartbreaking, The darkness feels like what spiderman 3 should have been. It's climax made me weep, and that alone, would be a good enough reason to buy this marvel.
Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £42.48 / Used from: £9.80
Yeah, sure, we've heard plenty stories about templars secretly controlling our world before, but Assassin's Creed does this a lot better than the da vinci code (and it has a better narrative).
Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £34.98 / Used from: £16.22
Sometimes you can feel that the dialogue is a bit clunky, but for pure story-telling greatness, Lost Odyssey is highly reccomended. There was a moment at the end of disc one which made me emotional.
Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360)Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360)
Buy used from: £29.99
It's unbeliveably short, but characters and a nuclear plot make this game highly reccomended, if you're willing to have to finish it in around 5 hours.
Simon The SorcererSimon The Sorcerer
Buy used from: £2.80
A blast from the past. It left me in stiches and it's likeable art design makes you wonder why they don't make games like this anymore.
Dreamfall: The Longest Journey ( XPLOSIV PC DVD ROM)Dreamfall: The Longest Journey ( XPLOSIV PC DVD ROM)
Buy new: £3.59 / Used from: £3.59
The longest journey had one of the most likeable characters of all time: April. Dreamfall might include her, but the new main character Zoe, is even better. Plus as you'd expect, the plot is superb.
The Longest Journey (PC DVD ROM)The Longest Journey (PC DVD ROM)
Buy new: £2.49 / Used from: £3.49
Even to this day, there is barely any adventure as outstanding as this. Witty, original and charming are only some of the millions of good words to describe the longest journey.
