Are their any games that have a good story and/or well presented I can play? I'm not looking into RPG's, mainly action or adventure games.

You would probably enjoy Bioshock, its really easy and has mediocre gameplay but the story is amazing, as is the presentation.

Metro 2033 might suit you as well, a bit slower and more atmospheric but still very good.

I'm playing it in dx9 mode on medium settings, it still looks fantastic. textures and shadows still look great, and there is a good amount of lighting and particle effects, just not to the same degree as what you get with high or very high. The presentation is the games biggest strenght, but it also has a good story and decent combat.

that game is AMAZING! nuff said ;P!!!!!! im playing it on dx 10 and high settings, it looks very detailed and the shadows and lighting are great. also it has this great fear factor in it which is awesome, it plays just like a survival horror game cuase u literally have no ammo, and when ever u find alot of ammo, there is a reason u did

I was going to suggest those... they're like Raymond Chandler on crack. :P Bioshock is good as well, and the story in Assassins' Creed 1 and 2 isn't half bad.

I really enjoyed Indigo Prophesy! Story got a little lame in the end, but I think it had the one of the best opening sequences ever. [spoiler] You watch your character kill a guy in a bathroom of a diner and then the perspective switches to a police officer getting up to come in the bathroom. The game then switched back to your guy, where it then hands control over to you and chuckles evily [/spoiler]

DEVIL MAY CRY 4. No games can beat the body language and facial expression of its characters (in storytelling/Full Motion Video/Cutscene). It's very natural because they hire artists for it. The dialogs are also cool, who doesn't like Dante mocking huge demons? DMC4 is one of the best PC games I've ever played on my life. It's truly a Capcom's masterpiece. You've got to try it, man!!!

Gonna go ahead and recommend Batman AA, TOTALLY fits the presentation/story aspect if you do not own it already by chance.

Anything by Bioware has good story and presentation.

Also, its not RPG, but all the C&C games before Red Alert 3 had excellent story and presentation

I recommend anything from Valve, especially Half-Life series. Amazing.
