Metal Gear Solid
There is no game I have played in which whose plot is so brilliantly and intricately developed. A series of plot twists, revelations, and just a general high quality of script writing, this is one amazing game. My all time favorite
Never before have I been so emotionally attached to a video game character than with just about every character in the cast of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. I grew up with this game, even from a very young age I was always desperate to watch my older sister play the first MGS. I remember the final scene of MGS4 vividly, and how it literally caused me to tear up. It's a deep and powerful storyline. One that should go down history as the best of all time. Keep it number one on this list, heh.
Metal Gear Solid will always remain the best and most emotional story ever, it just has a sense to it that is absolutely amazing. Never have I cared so much about characters like; Big Boss, Revolver Ocelot, The Boss, and so on.

"Gran Turismo 4"
PlayStation
The "Gran Turismo" franchise has always been a game for people who actually know things about cars, so much so that Jeremy Clarkson, formerly of "Top Gear," wrote about it in The Sunday Times , saying:
"They’ve even managed to accurately reflect the differences between a Mercedes SL 600 and the Mercedes SL 55, which is hard enough to do in real life. There's more, too. If you take a banked curve in the Bentley Le Mans car flat out, you’ll be fine. If you back off, even a little bit, you lose the aerodynamic grip and end up spinning. That's how it is."
He does lament that the BMW M3 CSL "brakes much better on the road than it does on the screen," but a video game can't be perfect, I guess.
But for a game that came out in 2004, "Gran Turismo 4" came pretty close.
"Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus"
PlayStation
Most games strive for hyperrealism, attempting to render every pore and wrinkle on someone's face, as if you were actually standing in front of them in the real world. It's a futile pursuit, because the following year, games promise to look even better and more realistic than ever before .
That's part of what makes the "Sly Cooper" series so great: Rather than try to replicate reality, it puts players in a decidedly Disney-like world, like an interactive Saturday morning cartoon.
That, mixed with the series delightful mix of stealth and platforming challenges, makes "Sly Cooper" a game worth remembering.
"Okami"
Capcom
At first glance, it's pretty easy to see why "Okami" had to be included on this list. It has an amazing aesthetic, like a Japanese ink drawing come to life.
In practice, "Okami" plays a lot like "Legend of Zelda," but its aesthetic is more than just for looks. In place of Link's items, like the Hookshot or ice arrows, you'll learn different brushstrokes that modify the game's world.
At any time, you can freeze the game and actually draw specific patterns on the screen — a slash, for example will damage enemies, a circle will cause the sun to rise, and you can even fill in the gaps on a broken bridge, causing it to be magically repaired.
In short, "Okami" is not only one of the PS2's most beautiful games, but also one of its most innovative.
"Katamari Damacy"
Sony
"Katamari Damacy" is straight-up weird.
There's no way around it. But that's what makes it so charming. It's goofy and quirky and silly, but knowingly so.
Though its gameplay is relatively simple — you basically just roll a giant, sticky ball, collecting objects until it becomes the size of a planet — the appeal of "Katamari Damacy" is bigger than that.
Between its inventive art style, its music that can only be described as a surprisingly catchy cartoon interpretation of jazz, and that impossibly cute icon of your character that always sits in the lower corner of the screen, the seemingly simple moving parts of "Katamari Damacy" add up to something wonderful.
"Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal"
Insomniac
"Ratchet and Clank" has long been one of PlayStation's best franchises, and its third entry still stands as the series' best.
It has fun, goofy weapons to choose from, like the Blitz Gun, which shoots a shotgun-like scatter of ammo that arcs like lightning to other enemies, and the Glove of Doom, which unleashes a small army of robots to do your bidding.
That toxic mix of platforming, puzzle solving, and weapon variety is what makes all "Ratchet and Clank" games so fun, but "Up Your Arsenal" was definitely the series' high point.
"Kingdom Hearts"
Square Enix
"Kingdom Hearts" seemed like an impossibly magical thing when it came out; "Final Fantasy" and Disney characters? Together? In one game? It was like the equivalent of dumping out a pair of siblings' mismatched action figures and coming up with a story to link them all together.
Though Japanese RPGs are famous for being narratively incomprehensible, the infusion of the Disney world — and I can't believe I'm actually writing this — helped ground "Kingdom Hearts" in something familiar and understandable, while also giving the melodramatic world of "Final Fantasy" a bit of much-needed levity.
The mere shreds of logical plot that were present in "Kingdom Hearts" became muddled shortly thereafter in its spin-offs on handheld consoles, but hopefully the forthcoming "Kingdom Hearts 3" — whenever it eventually emerges from development hell — is a return to form for one of the PS2's best games.
"Jak 3"
PlayStation
If there's one bad thing about the "Uncharted" franchise, it's that it has prevented Naughty Dog from making a sequel to "Jak and Daxter" for PS4.
While a lot of games that attempt to have a sense of humor can often fall prey to low-brow toilet puns, "Jak and Daxter" was always surprisingly good at being funny without being cheap — at least, for the standards of video game writing in 2004.
"Jak 3" managed to build on the strong foundation built by its predecessors, continuing to add fun weapons to Jak's roster and building out its beautiful, compelling sci-fi/fantasy world.
While it's a bummer that this franchise has remained dormant for quite awhile, it does live on, in a way, in "The Last of Us." Early concept art for a "Jak and Daxter" reboot was deemed to be getting too far away from what made "Jak and Daxter" what it was, so the concept's ties to "Jak and Daxter" were severed and it became something all its own.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for a proper reboot, though.
"Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater"
Konami
Though people often argue about the relative merits of "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" and "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater," the latter is probably the best of the franchise to ever grace the PlayStation 2.
"MGS 3" features the trademark combination of stealth and action that makes the series so great, but it also adds to the formula by introducing wilderness survival mechanics that complicate the otherwise simple task of keeping a character's health bar up.
Also, "MGS 3" adds an interesting twist to the world's narrative: Rather than play longtime series protagonist Solid Snake, you play as Naked Snake, who eventually becomes the series' villain, Big Boss.
And, like other "Metal Gear Solid" games, it features all sorts of quirky, fourth-wall-breaking humor that the series is known for. For example, if a player saves and quits the game in the midst of the final boss and reloads the game a week later, they'll find that he's died of old age and will have avoided the whole fight altogether.
"Shadow of the Colossus"
YouTube/Sony
"Shadow of the Colossus" is at once hugely ambitious, but also restrained and minimalist. It shares that quality with "Ico," another game by the same development studio that also made its way onto this list.
The game is set in a large open world, but there are no random enemies, towns or other people to interact with. Instead, it's populated entirely by 16 unique monsters that you must kill. In essence, it's a series of spectacular boss fights, with some of them being the size of mountains.
I won't spoil the game's excellent story, but that's the real reason to play it. Also, it will prepare you for "The Last Guardian," the developer's long-awaited next game, which comes out on PS4 in December.
"God Of War 2"
Sony Santa Monica
"God of War" is an action/adventure series that delights in being gory and gross, but "God of War 2" is really where the series found its legs. The series as a whole reimagines the melodramatic world of Greek gods and goddesses as an action-packed bloodbath for power and revenge, but the series' sequel expands on everything about what made the first one such a hit.
Unlike so many other action games, "God of War 2" perfectly walks the line between being accessible to newcomers while also offering quite a bit of depth for genre veterans. It's the kind of game that's easy to jump into, but hard to master.
And, of course, "God of War" can't be brought up without mentioning its boss battles. Whether you love or hate their interactive movie-style structure, these so-called "quick-time events" added an amazing sense of scale and spectacle to a game that already had pretty great bones to begin with.
"Final Fantasy X"
Square Enix
Despite the infamous laugh of its main character, Tidus, "Final Fantasy X" stands as not only one of the best "Final Fantasy" titles of all time, but also one of the best games to ever come to PlayStation 2.
In fact, it was the first game in the history of the franchise to ever receive a direct sequel. Up until then, every game in the series was self-contained, connected only in spirit by their sci-fi/fantasy setting.
Lucky for you, there's a remastered bundle of both "Final Fantasy X" and "Final Fantasy X-2" available for PS4. Grab it if you have yet to experience either game.
"Ico"
Sony
What's most striking about "Ico" is how much it manages to do with so little.
Unlike so many other adventure games, which feature a solo protagonist against an endless onslaught of enemies, "Ico" is about the relationship and collaboration between two characters.
Rather than complete puzzles alone, Ico must help Yorda through the game's dangerous environments, helping her cross large chasms and pulling her up over steep ledges. By centering the entire game around keeping Yorda safe and ushering her through the game, you'll find yourself growing emotionally attached to her well-being in a way that few other games manage to do.
Team Ico's forthcoming project, "The Last Guardian," seems to be going for a similar dynamic, this time focusing on a young boy and his massive, cat/bird/dog friend named Trico.

Red Redemption
Some of the greatest film Westerns deal with the death of the Old West, and Red Dead Redemption strikes gold exploring that subject. Protagonist John Marston is a man out of time. He wants a steady home life, but is pushed back into the saddle by government agents who hold his outlaw past over his head. Marston has to hunt down his old posse of bandits, effectively killing off the last remnants of the era that defined him. And it’s not just Marston and his former friends that have trouble transitioning into the 20th century. Over and over John meets individuals coming to terms with the end of the West, whether happily or through gritted teeth. Marston himself wants to leave his past behind despite being so good with his revolver, which makes him easier to connect with than every previous Rockstar hero. The ultimate question is: will the world allow him the happy ending he deserves?

these games you mentioned are not really story inclined, like Cao said, in my own personal opinion God of War is a childish game and that's why I didn't put it in the list. I should add uncharted but...... .......

Legend Of Zelda
Legend of Zelda has such a complex, fantastic, yet relatable story... The almost 20 games in the series, while at first seeming unrelated, are all connected with a story that spans the centuries and dimensions, creating a rich history full of grandeur. LEGEND is right.
And not only that - the emotion of each game, the poignant details, make us form a connection to the story. There is such a strong attachment to the land of Hyrule, the story of the fight of good against evil, because WE are in it. WE are Link, and we are in his world - each and every time.
What's best is that everyone can relate to these games. They aren't overly violent or inappropriate. Yet at the same time, there are very mature themes, subtle messages, that give the story such meaning. Both kids and adults - really, people of all ages - can appreciate the fine and detailed (and EPIC) storytelling of the Legend of Zelda.
I believe this deserves to be first on the list. The story is fantastic. It is filled with mystery, magic, and teaches values. It is heart-warming and so emotion filled. It is complex yet easy for the player to understand. It teaches that everyone has a story to tell. That are also clues in the games that foreshadow. For example, in Ocarina of Time, still considered one of the best games of all time, there's a drawing on Link's tree house of a boy fighting what appears to be a giant dinosaur. In Skyward Sword, you fight The Imprisoned, a giant beast that resembles a dinosaur. 13 years later. This game in incredible and everyone can relate to it in some way. -
ZeldaStorm.
Adult Link learns the Song of Storms from Guru-Guru, the windmill guy. Guru-Guru mentions a kid who played it 7 years ago and messed up the windmill. After playing it, Guru-Guru gets angry. Link then goes back in time 7 years to when he was a 9 year old kid. He goes back to the windmill and plays the Song of Storms for Guru-Guru. The windmill gets messed up. But ig Guru-Guru only knew the song because 9 year old Link played it, and 9 year old Link only knew it because adult Link went back and time, and adult Link only knew it because Guru-Guru taught it to him, then where did the song originate from? It is a bootstrap paradox.
It's things like these that make The Legend of Zelda so complex, yet so amazing. There is another similar paradox in Skyward Sword regarding the Gate of Time, but it would take way too long to explain. Vote Legend of Zelda. It obviously has the best story.
Unbelievably amazing, regardless of age.

see my person. For me N64 was the best in its generation. the only flop was the soccer developed for the console. Asides that, other games were lit. Perfect dark, mario kart, 007 series, Zelda, serges heros and so on

God of War childish? No way bro. My two favorite game character ever are Snake and Kratos. Kratos had a personal story that I loved

I am already liking Cao.

1. She's a lady
2. She games (that's rare)
3. She's got brains ( she helped calm ur squabbles where she emphasised that liking a game or not is upto you. We differ in personalty and "one man's meat is another's poison" Did you guys really need a chick to to that? Habaaaa! Smh
4. She used one of kratos' quotes as her signature (if all of olympus will deny me my...)


My friend who referred to GOW as a childish game, I have to say it's not nice to criticize someone else's work no matter what. Have you even beaten any of them? Particular GOW 2&3. They are my favourite come rain, come shine. The storyline, the graphics, the action, just a few to mention. Need I remind or educate you that the games story was from or based on Greek mythology? Though fictitious, from the way things turned out. BTW, I have played (whenever I say played,I mean; beaten-finished) The last of us too and I love it. The storyline I tight, the graphics insane, but it differs from GOW and other games coz it is unique in its own way. I don't like first shooter games, but that isn't enough justification for me to slander or butcher games in that category. I have beaten GOW even at the hardest difficulty level but who born me to try am with Last of us? Where the time? For emphasis, it requires a lot of stealth movement (U wan rush clicker?)
Enough said already, hand don dey pain me.
Cao, if you're truly "f" as ur status implies, you rock. Respect- I doff my hat
