There are two types of gamer in the world: people who play for scores, and those that play for the story. This, as the title suggests, is all about the latter. The best video game stories can have even more impact than a film or book when it's done well, because you're part of it. You made it happen. It involves characters you've grown to love because you've had relationships with them; you've fought and struggled in the real world to progress in the game one and, when the best or worst, happens, you feel it more because you did it, you were there. Games can create this impact through a variety of techniques from good writing or environmental storytelling, or even using mechanics and controls to make you physically feel your character's plight. It makes picking out and racking great stories a gargantuan task and one that's likely to provoke a lot of discussion. Everyone has their favourites - are yours here? And as high as you'd like?
