The main thing that gets me hooked on a game is the storyline. What are some of the best? Preferably on PC and with modern graphics (ie, no Fallout 1/2, or Planescape Torment, even though the stories were great).
For me:
Neverwinter Nights with all the expansion packs.
Call of Duty (the stories were great but disappointingly short).
Dragon Age
The Witcher 1 + 2
Dear Esther
Amnesia the Dark Descent
Mass Effect 1+2+3
Skyrim (short main story, but a crap ton of other side quests made it up)
Fallout 3
Metro 2033
-
Assassins Creed 1 & 2 were fun, but kinda dropped off when they added the extraterrestrial element to the game.
The new one coming out this year looks promising.
-
I'm actually trying to play through the first Assassin Creed now but IMO, the sci fi part just seems out of place. The lack of subtitles also make it hard to follow what anyone is saying since there's so much ambient noise going on, even with headsets on.
-
Call of Duty has a good storyline.
The new Assassin Creed looks like it's going to be awesome!
But the game that I love the most is the Ace Combat series. AC5 has one awesome storyline, AC0 is brilliant, and I loved AC4. AC6 was good too, just not on the same level as the others though.

Destroy All Humans 1-2

Some of the old Infocom games were very engrossing, like 'Deadline', where you got physical materials to go along with the text game.
Half-Life, Max Payne, and EQ (the lore that made up the background) were very good.

Strike Commander for Dos 6.0
It's the year 2011 and you own a squadron of F-16s based in Turkey. You and your fellow mercenary employees have to make ends meet by taking contracts to work for governments and corporations.
-
No mentions for any Warcraft or Starcraft games? I'd put every single one of them in the list from Warcraft 1 on to Starcraft 2 and WoW. I'm guessing Diablo 1-3 should also be on here but I've never played them.
Edit: Also, Portal.

I remember Full Metal Throttle. That was a cool game.

The older Resident Evil games had a great story line
Dead Space has an amazing story line
Assassins Creed 1 and 2 are great. I'm on Revolutions right now, and I'm kind of just starting to fall apart because every time you get all the good stuff, you lose it all in the next game.
Dues Ex: short game, amazing story line
Mass Effect will top a lot of games for a very long time
I've been playing Borderlands and I think it's an overall great game, can't wait for the second one to come out.
Can never ever forget any of the Final Fantasy games, every game is a great story line.
Gears of War, another great story line
Halo
That's really all that I can think of right now.
<S>
-
Never played any of the games you all mentioned (except pacman). :headscratch:
I liked Blazing Angel's storyline on Wii from initial training to when Joe gets shot down and everything in between. I really felt a connection with those three guys. :cry
-
I like the Hitman series. :aok
-
Freespace/Freespace2
Halo series
Doom
Wing Commander Series
Ace Combat 4/5. 6 was okay, but felt like a mix of 4 and 5 to me.

It's a hundred and six miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it!

Brothers In Arms Series
Amen. I was so very disappointed with the BIA game where they tried to copy that absolute crap movie.....
