Was dissappointed with GTAIV, though I can see where people are comming from whe they say the MGS series, so far I've only played the original, VR missions and MGS 2 but that has all been pretty aces.
I takes place during the LAriots, its protagonist is a black man, which has to be a first for a video game. It centers around his family's life after their mother was killed and there is a large developing story about the main characters life, the gang he is in and eventually how all of this lead to his mother's death.
I think Half Life from my experience. All the little things, all the mysterys etc. But I haven't played many games with good stories so I can't really argue with anyone on the best story lol
Bioshock and Mass Effect probably have the two best stories, but I give the advantage to Mass Effect since it is an RPG and more story driven. You have more control over your actions and the outcome. Also, it was done by Bioware, who are basically the best story tellers in the gaming industry.
Honorable mention- Star Wars Force Unleashed. As a Star Wars fan I loved the story. If it was a little more fleshed out and put into a movie, it would put Episodes I and II to shame.

you thought the force on-a-leash had a good story :? ? see something new every day.....
Mass Effect had a great story, I haven`t played all the mgs games, just the first one, so, I can't really give an opinion about the saga. Other game that had a great story from my point of view was Dead Space. I really enjoyed that game.
Bioshock, Lost Odyssey for this Gen, maybe MGS4 ( I see why people love it, it's just not my thing.) I love FF10's story, not sure why really didn't like Yuna but, I thought that and FFVII had great story's. Also, really loved me some Tales of the Abyss. I'm rambling...
I would second the vote for Star Wars:TFU. I thought the story was a great bridge in between Episodes III and IV.
Can't believe that I'm the first to say The Darkness. Great story and a steal for around $20 regardless of the multi-player, which I never played.

Thanks for the back up SW:FU. I don't expect non-Star Wars fans to appreciate it, but SPOILERS...... the origin of the Rebel Alliance and Darth Vader's and in it was really cool. Like I said, I wish they would make it a live action movie.
