What's with all the handwringing? A lot of games have great stories for the medium, they don't translate well to movies, but that doesn't make them crap stories.
Having said that I showed my Mother-in-law all the cutscenes in Uncharted like it was a movie and she really enjoyed watching it. OK the dialogue she thought was a little cheesy in places and a bit potty mouth (she is 70) but she enjoyed the story.
But hey, movies don't translate well into video games. And don't say Batman AA is a good example because AA is not a movie.
Movies REALLY do not translate well into books, and some books do not translate well into movies.
And surprise surprise there are crap movies out there that tell crap cheesy stories with crap scripting. Just like there are games with crap stories and crap scripting. Wow what a revelation.
Don't try to fit square pegs into round holes and we'll all be very happy.
