While I agree with the games you listed, I would never say games are a better platform for storytelling than movies. The sole purpose of a movie is to tell you a story while a game has to focus on other things which makes it impossible to be as involving as a movie.

You can become just as ingrossed in characters in games as you can a book or movie. You can even become more attached to a game character since you're the one controlling it.

I've yet to encounter a game that made me feel the way I felt when I saw Andy Dufresne's escape in Shawshank's Redemption or when you see the citizens marching on Parliament in V for Vendetta.

I don't think the citizens marching on Parliament was a particularly good scene - leastways, not compared to the way it worked in the book.

Regardless, I can think of a few that affected me more than the ening of Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption (that's right, Different Seasons for me)... if you're interested in trying it out, look into the games by Fumito Ueda and Shigesato Itoi.
