What do you guys think has the best story-line in video games?

I think that It's Half-Life, It is so well toled and one of the greatest scifi stories ever toled. In my opinion.

I also liked Halo: Combat Evolved. The Flood was a really great twist.

Brothers in Arms alsoI really liked, even though it was not made up, it really drew you into the squad and it was well toled, almost like a book, almost.

What was your favorite story.

Someone explain to me why Half Life story is so great. I havent really played any so I don't know. Personally I Bill Cosby Shoot Out for the 360 has the best story.

Tales of the Abyss (PS2), Tales of Symphonia (GC,PS2) I'm sure Mass effect has a great story but Im sry these two just throw everything out the window just due to the symbolism and amount of themes involved in both of them.

and why oh why are we forgetting the resident evil series? sure it gets a little slow here and there (they could replace a lot of babling with cool ass action sequence cutscenes instead of just bore and sometimes banal talk) but at the center of every resident evil game there was always a really solid story line that grabbed your attention from begining to end and thats hard to pull off when you have like 14 different resident evil games, to stay consistent story wise and for that long is impresive.

on the xbox i have to say the otogi series story is pretty outstanding, nothing like cool stylish characters mixed in with some ancientjapanesse mythologyand what ancient japanesse game would be complete withoutsometruly grotesque allies and enemies to keep you saying what the? this game has it all cool characters cool cutscenes and the most humbling nonpretenticous storyline in any game i've ever seen.

For the 360 I thought thass Mass Effect had alot of inovative open ended decisions. But as for epic stories, I am a sucker for Halo.

I dont know if the MGS series will ever be surpassed story wise.

Then FF4, 6, 7 and 10.

Chrono Trigger was also great.

Shadow of the Colossus (That's how you spell it?) or Kingdom Hearts series. Or maybe Halo 3 ending took the cake for me?

I'd say God of War, Halo,and the new Prince of Persia have awesome storylines. GTA has pretty good storylines too, but I think it's the humor in certain missions that makes it so good.

It is sort of suprising, to me at least, that Xenogears is not on the list. It had a great stroy with a religious backbone and was great at developing the charactors as well as the war. I realize many may have not played this, but I would say #1 Xenogears, #2 MGS Saga, #3 Pick a FF, they all have strong points.

actually, i think gears had a pretty good story, it was just too short.
