Metal Gear Solid would be my favourite story, plenty of twists and turns and it deals with some fairly interesting issues.
Knights of the Old Republic has my favourite story in a RPG game with a killer twist. Story wise it was superior to all the SW prequels.
The Prince of Persia trilogy had a great, although occasionally incoherent, storyline that certainly added value to the game.
Shenmue's story is exceptional, with players getting more out of it the more time they are willing to put into it.

Boycotting the following:
1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.
2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.
3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.
4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games. If that were the case they'd own a PS3.
5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.
6. Boycotts: Their so lame.

1) Planescape: Torment. No game can match the depth and breadth of this game in terms of story. Could have been the Citizen Kane of video games, if only more people had paid attention to it.
2) Killer7. Mind-bending, weird, deep, allegorical in a non-obvious way, and with several layers. Would have made a good David Lynch movie.
3) I want to say the Legacy of Kain series, but if we have to name just one game, I'll say the first Blood Omen. What looks to be your basic tale of "saving the world" soon becomes much, much more than that - as the story is really as much about Kain himself as it is about the world of Nosgoth. Simon Templeman's unparalleled narration helps things greatly, too.
Really, outside of BioWare, Suda51, Team Ico, and Silicon Knights/the Soul Reaver team, I can't name any development teams who concentrate so much on delivering a good story - and succeed with any regularity. Dev teams seriously need to start hiring some real writers.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and the incredible Deus Ex!
Final Fantasy usually has a good story, but as a longtime fan, I get a bit tired of them reprinting the same characters for every new installment lately. Let's hope XIII is a bit different in this regard.
