Games don't need stories.

I agree with you 100%. Best games are the ones that are pure gameplay goodness.

Most videogame stories are horrible and just a waste of time.

Your average videogame story may entertain a 13 year old, 17 year old...hell even 21 year olds... But there comes a point in a persons life where there is not a lot of time available for entertainent due to kids, family, work, obligations... when that happens, the game that becomes fun to play within 30 seconds of pushing the start button is the better game.

I am at that point in my life and to me this game - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQPEbHQZm68

is better than this game - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql4g2LHSGEs

The second game is great as well but it wastes way too much time on story which is too dumb to appear on a Wrestling show.

Wow, I am impressed with "The Impossible Game".  I am a bit intimidated though by it.

I couldn't beat it...Died over 200 times.

Is it even beatable?  I have the impression it probably goes on forever, procedurally generating the level as you go on.  Maybe that is what makes it impossible.
