Eh, that's not true at all. There are plenty of linear games that doesn't focus (nor they're forced to) on telling a good story, but rather, polishing a top notch gameplay. Just because a game is linear doesn't mean the game will have a great story; that's ultimately up to the developer, not to the "genre" itself.
Unless you think games like Serious Sam or Vanquish deserve an award for their writing.
