Oblivion's story is good

I'm playing through Uncharted and so far it's good too

What's Mass Effect's story about?

you claim a game has the best story before even playing?

Hurray for lemmings, making cows and sheep feel smarter every day.

From what I'e played, probably Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

Then again, The Witcher has been awesome so far - I can only assume that the story will get even more awesome once I start discovering the consequences of my actions.

i did't say best... i said best "nextgen" game... also if u disagree feel free to point out a different game... also technically i never said mass effect has the best story ever... i simply said "mass effect here we come"......

MGS4 will surely have great story...by action genre standarts. Gray Matter will have great story by ANY standarts :) I like Kojima, but as a storyteller he's an amateur compared to Jane Jansen

As for Bioshock...it had a good story, but the plot twist was totally predictable (moreso if you played System Shock 2 first). Also, the endings were fairly poor...

Bioshock is very high on my list. I thought Condemned was good also.

And I'm going to throw in a nomination for Portal.... it's more of a non-story, but its narrative is excellent.

Quite a few people say Mass Effect has the best story to ever grace a video game, other than that, Im not sure. I haven't played a next gen game that has wowed me with it's story.

Agreed. However it's not so much the game story, but the backstory to the world of rapture. The Audio Diaries and flashbacks do more for the story then any cutscenes would have.

uncharted and RFOM I really liked, and then there is BIOSHOCK!!!!!!! actually I like alot of games storylines gears was pretty cool and although it was cliche it was still fun to play out dead rising halo 3 was the same story as the other 2 halos pretty much (go destroy some crazy ring/ forrunner machine things) but if I didnt know about halo 1 and 2 then it would be up there aswell, I love video games this gen

you know what crazy?, although I loved it and it has to be one of my top 3 or 5 this gen eass, I found the bioshock storyline really predictable
