Fantastic list! What a cool idea for a site. I’m very story driven when it comes to games… I never used to be but recent games such as mass effect have changed that. I can’t play multiplayer anymore, it simply isn’t emotionally engaging enough. Just my 2 cents. Two of my favorite story driven games lately are enslaved and mafia 2. I love it how mafia 2 subtly encourages you to actually play with restraint. For example when driving I actually followed road rules within reason and it felt throughly enjoyable and natural.
