Eh, same goes for books and movies in my case. For me at least, video games are the best for telling stories.

Video games can be more fun to play than watch a movie or read a book. But not because of the storytelling. It's like saying you enjoyed a joyride at an amusement park, because the storyline was so great. Entertainment has many facettes, and the interactivity of video gaming is something books and movies don't offer, still they can have the more detailed stories.

I didn't mention them because I thought those aspects were fairly obvious. And as I said before, I personally prefer story telling in games than in books/movies.
