Video games vs. Films

No. The best videogame story's are at best roughly equal with a B movie at best. Never mind the best film has to offer.

As the answer is no then clearly there is no videogame to list.

The topic isn't asking for a comparison to cinema's best, I don't think.

Actually that's exactly what it's asking.  Look at the OP:

 

Can video games tell a more compelling story then films nowadays?  

If so, which video game? 

 

The only logical way for video games to tell a more compelling story than films is for videogames to tell more compelling stories than cinema's best, otherwise the logical proposition falls apart.  Now if the OP said 'as good' or maybe even 'as some films' then fine.  But the OP said 'more' which means better.

That's still unnecessarily reductive in terms of what could have been meant: the OP may still be referring to any, any level of cinema, rather than its cream, and I stand by that.

If you want to get semantic about it, then the "Can video games" as opposed to "Do video games" doesn't actually imply that the video game we name has to actually exist - just that we have to be able to imagine that such a game could exist.
