well first of all your teacher is somewhat right Novels are generally better than movies and movies are better than Video games in terms of story telling and evoking emotions
I remember when people flipped out when Jaffe said that the MGS story can't compare to some of the great movies and he is actually right
now to your question
God of War has a very good story about Greek mythology and magic
Bioshock has a very compelling story about a society experiment gone wrong
the Warcraft series
