Good story/presentation games?

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.

Half-Life 2 and its episodes are great.

Good story? Try Planesca... Oh nevermind.

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.

outside of RPG, mmhh...

Max Payne 1&2 if you haven't played them...

and wickedly fun No One Lives Forever 1 & 2

... personally I like American McGee's Alice very much.

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]

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.
