The Marathon trilogy and Planescape: Torment.

If i wouldve known XFire didn't log Byeond Good & Evil, i probably wouldnt have bought it, what little bit i played seemed cool though.

system shock 2, while the overarcing story itself isn't all that fantastic (though it is very good by game standards), the game is full of individual, personal stories that really add feeling to the game...

I'd agree with the comment above mentioning the RPGs, they often revolve heavily around engaging storylines.

The best games I've ever played have all been ones where I've been fascinated by the story and they would be:

 

* Baldur's Gate 1 & 2

* Deus Ex

* Morrowind (so Oblivion would count as well)

 

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, depending on your region, is also a great game.

Not really a PC game but if you want a game with a great story, check out Killer7.

Umm, what does it matter if it gets logged or not?

Anyway, I'm gonna agree with the guys that said Planescape, System Shock 2 and Deus Ex.

The Half-life 1 and 2 storylines were pretty confusing, I mean the first time I played through the games I had no idea there was a story. Sure, I understood most of the stuff that was going on, but after playing through both games 5-10 times and reading the entire storyline I realised how much was going on in the background. Personally I think they could've worked more on the presentation, maybe that's just me though.

For my part, I'm a huge fan of the first Knights of the Old Republic. The second one was, well, all the cut content and rushed ending left me limp - it was good, not great. Baldur's Gate 2 was good enough that I don't think there was a pixel I didn't see, I explored every where I could and did every single side quest. For non-RPG's, Starcraft, Warcraft (as a series) and the Command and Conquer series were great.

Planescape: Torment for me had the best storyline with a lot of things that i have discovered when playing second or even third time. And of course max payne, deus ex, sanitarium, gabriel knight(all), morrowind, teenagent:), i liked starcraft's storyline:), wizardry 6, fallout 1&2, daggerfall, i think oblivion too but i've never played, blade runner, system shock 2. i know there was many other games but right now i don't remember any:) och and doom1 and 2:D

I can't really list anything for the PC since most of them if not all of them have already been mentioned, but if you want some good story Console Games then:

Metal Gear Solid Series

Vagrant Story

Final Fantasies

those are all good picks.

 

I just started playing Lord of the Rings online, and even though it's based on the books and maybe the movies, it has it's own good story line so far that takes place on the side of the main quests which was to take the One Ring to Mount Doom to destroy it.

1 st place: HL1

2nd: KOTOR 1
