I've decided it's time to ask the masses of TL for help.

I've never realized how boring summer can be, when you're looking for something to do with your life...


So what are some games with good storylines (and hopefully decent, as in, >1998 graphics)?

I have a decent PC, an Xbox, and a Wii...


Thanks much.


Edit:

Here are the suggestions so far:
  • Eternal Darkness
  • The Longest Journey
  • Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
  • FF7
  • Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
  • Half Life Series
  • Bioshock
  • Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
  • Metal Gear Solid
  • Legend of Zelda Series
  • Starcraft
  • Resident Evil 4
  • Planescape Torment
  • Gothic 2
  • Guild Wars
  • System Shock
  • Dues Ex
  • Tales of Symphonia
  • Indogo Prophecy
  • Mass Effect
  • World in Conflict
  • Xenogears
  • Diablo 2
  • Fahrenheit
  • Baldur's Gate 2
  • Arcanum
  • Fallout
  • Mortal Kombat
  • God of War
  • Warcraft 3
  • Red Alert 2

Eternal Darkness, but you'll need to invest in a game cube controller.

I haven't played any of these actually, which should I try first?

Edit: Yes! KotOR was amazing (and so was Jade Empire), are there any other Bioware games that can compare?

Another game with a good storyline would be the half life series from valve.
MEOW.

Bioshock 1950's science fiction backdrop with ayn rand philosophy in the mix Also, one of the best twists I have ever found in a video game.


Shadow of the Colossus Its for PS2 but you have to play this game, immerse and unique experience, although there is no "deep" characterization of individuals in the game.


Half Life + Half life 2
No real reasons, just get em' they are instant classics, I recommend the orange box.

Any console legend of zelda series has a decent storyline to it, not as deep as FF series, but the exploration and the cliche conflict of good vs evil is not a bad department for video games.



O yes, if you have a decent enough pc, you can get a ps2 emulator and download all sorts of games.

Bioshock i found was full of ausomness, the story line is a little strange but it is very nice, the gameplay and grapics are really really good.
all the half life games are one big storyline and it is veryy good, imo get these two games

StarCraft has best storyline IMO

FF7 is already suggested, but I'm suggesting it again, because it is that good

Metal Gear Solid is another one

Shadow of the collosus

FinalFantasyX

Resident Evil 4?

KoTOR

KoTOR2 (thought not as good as the original)

Legend of zelda Twilight Princess or Ocarina of time/WindWaker combo

*a personal favorite* JETSETRADIOFUTURE *intresting to say the least*

Area51*short sweet but it gets to the point really fast play about halfwayand youll love it the other half itll get a little repetetive.

I do have Twilight Princess, didn't get very far on my first session... should I keep playing? I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not, but I never got to judge it really.


I'm also having a bit of trouble finding these older games... don't really want to play $20 from Amazon.

Sounds like Half-life and Metal Gear Solid are heavy favorites here... and Bioshock?


What's got the best storyline?
