I agree with most of the article, except where he praises Half-life 2's story. As far as I'm concerned, the game had no story. And I found the idea of a mute physicist didn't work very well.
I'm also disappointed that he didn't mention any games with branching dialogue paths, like Fallout 1 & 2, Deus Ex, or any Bioware game since Baldur's Gate 2. These are the games which have really nailed interactive storytelling, or at least come the closest.
