Gamesradar has put together a very nice feature on what it rates to be the top 15 video game stories ever…
There are some obvious ones like Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto along with some lesser known jewels like Planescape: Tournament?
I have always preferred the simpler stories to be honest so I am glad to see Portal has made an entry for us simplistic types, Bioshock is there as well which is no surprise but where is my favourite story of all time – Stranglehold?
That story was the classic story of “Bad man do bad things, good man get revenge by killing everyoneâ€, absolute perfection…
Click through below to see the full list and let us know if there is a game that they missed.

That would be Planescape: Torment and it would be the greatest DND based RPG ever created 😀
Only my opinion ofcourse

What blasphemy. No blizzard games? *removes gamesradar from favourites list*. Show me a game with the amount of lore, stories and characters found in Diablo, Starcraft and Warcarft.

Ahhhh… I’m glad to see that FF VI is there. Was most definitely my favourite of all of them.

Phew, thought they wouldn’t put a single FF in the list. And they put the right one!!!! FFVI is the best FF yet and one of the greatest games of all time! If you haven’t played this game shame on you!!!
