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 have. Many of us have.  Stop playing Pac-Man for a while , and try something with some depth.  Shawshank and V are both classics, but so is the ending of FFVII:CC and the scene in FF7 when Aeris dies. That was more emotional than just staring at a movie screen. The sole purpose of most movies is to entertain - the story often takes a back seat to explosions and other special effects.  That's why I always like the book better.

BTW: best scene in V is the look Portman under the bed as they drag away her friend. incredible.

 

I just picked one scene I liked from each movie but there's tons more I could have cited from these two movies (Yours is a good choice too). I love FF7 and Aeris' death was a real shocker for me because she was always part of my party up until that point in the game and I liked her personality more than Tifa's but this doesn't compare to say how much I was praying that Red wouldn't hang himself like Brooks did in Shawshank.
