My vote goes to Vice City. The 80's setting, voice acting (Ray Liotta was great) and the characters all help to an already great story. To me Tommy is the best and most believeble protaganist in a GTA game ever. He is a real gangster. You build a strong relationship with Lance Vance and it doesn't seem to bother Tommy when he kills Vance. I love the rise to power and there is so much unexpected betrayel. It's the best GTA game imo.

Both MGS3 and FFX are a step above almost any other game in my opinion.

Planescape:Torment. Not this decade, but it doesnt matter as no game has even come close.

It has an 800,000 word count. Equivalent to the first 6 harry potter books. And every word of it is awesome.

Majora's Mask (Even though it came in 2000)

Even fans of the game don't give much credit to its plot, which was told beautifully, helping push the envelope towards the "Games as art" debate.

Can't choose..

  • Valkyria Chronicles
  • Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
  • Mass Effect
  • And i can't ignore Vice City's story, because i love Scarface, and the rise to power of Tommy Vercetti.

Now of all times, its both Xenogears (the best JRPG) and Planescape Torment (the best WRPG).

Mass Effect, Snake Eater, Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Red Dead Redemption and KOTOR are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head. Overall though, it's really too close to call.

The second two Professor Layton's come to mind. Not sure why people always overlook them, I found them fantastic, fit to be animated movies.

I feel like so many great stories came out in this decade, so it's hard for me to choose just one so I'll name five.

Max Payne
Odin Sphere
Vampire the masquerade:bloodline
s
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories(Didn't want to name the usual Silent Hill 2 :P)
Eternal Sonata(Before anyone craps on this game, there's a certain reason why I liked it so much if you wanna know why you can just ask, and yeah I'm probably overrating it because I recently beat it.)

In my personal experience, Mass Effect (both). Theses were first game that actually made me care about the characters and what happens to them.

I'd have to say KOTOR. Recently picked it up again for PC in the $2 Steam sale, I forgot how good the story was.

Oh hey I just bought that and Baldur's Gate 2 off Gog.com recently or at least I think it's the same game I'm thinking of. It's like a 3rd person strategy game right?

Pretty much, you control 1 summoner and you make him control other minions.
