I'll save you the trouble and just tell you to wait two weeks for the editorial. To put it frankly, the entire game industry is shit when it comes to storytelling. The only guy who I would give any storytelling credence is Tim Schafer. He may not write the most thought-provoking pieces but Goddamn it, he stays within the medium and makes the most out of it. His works are funny, smart, and tightly-woven.
BTW, nice attempt to brand me as an elitist just because I don't buy into common gamer rhetoric. Open your ideas about this medium and you'll realize just how badly it falls short of its potential to tell stories in ways that no one has ever dreamt of before. On the other hand, you could just keep accepting the drivel we're shoveled on a yearly basis and watch the medium descend into sitcom television for all of eternity. Yay.
