I agree with him... Books > Movies > Videogames
for the most part video game story telling it bad. It's just that the bar has been set so low for the genre, that anything halfway decent is considered "great." So many of them are filled with cliches or just not very good imo
Very few videogames have stories I'd consider great.
Anyway, here are the ones I thought stood out:
PC:
System Shock 2
Grim Fandango
HalfLife
Starcraft/BroodWar
Baldur's Gate II
Deus Ex
Fallout1/2
WarcraftII/III
Planescape Tourment
7th gen:
Mass Effect
Bioshock
6th gen:
KoTOR (although I think we consider it great becasue it was better than the terrible new Trilogy)
Beyond Good & Evil
ICO
Shadow of the Collossus
Suikoden III
Final Fantasy X
5th gen:
Resident Evil (in a charmnig "B" movie kind of way)
Suikoden II
4th gen:
Chrono Trigger
Super Metroid (although it's really just the same of the first)
3rd gen:
Kid Icarus
Metroid
