""Where is the video game equivalent of Casablanca?"
May I suggest looking into the Visual Novel genre? And yes, by Visual Novels I do mean "Japanese anime porn games", which, for some strange reason, usually contain actual stories instead of simply being a series of excuses for showing people having sex with each other. I'd suggest "Kana: Little Sister" as the best example of the genre that I'm aware of.
On a non-X rated note, there's Persona 3 and Persona 4, which don't quite manage to take us as far as adulthood, but do manage to get beyond childhood enough to enter high school."

"I had a similar reaction to a game that was critically panned. I really, really liked Alpha Protocol. I liked if far more than I liked Mass Effect 1, which I found to be a generic and rather tedious space opera. What I liked the most was figuring out what dialogue choices to choose when talking with all the other characters and seeing what kinds of ripple effects your decisions end up having. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to just anyone, but I really don't understand all the hate it got from professional reviewers."

"Disgaea 1 is the funniest game ever. Just watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWW9D_kFezE"

"I didn't like FF7 very much back in 1997, but I'm still one of those people who really wants to see a remake. The reason is simple: the translation we got was god-awful, and (for me at least) ruined what could have been a much better game than we actually received. If a remake happened, there would be a new translation, and I might actually be able to enjoy the game for once."

""Summer Wars is about the fate of the world balanced precariously on an extremely popular casual social network and game called Oz. The nerdy mathlete protagonist, Kenji Koiso, is framed for hacking attacks within this digital world that cause deadly situations in the real life."
Didn't .//hack use this exact same plot?"

"I suppose it depends on the game. There are plenty of erotic Visual Novels out there that actually tell a real story. Some get (clean) anime adaptations."

"Even if, like me, you don't have a life and do nothing but play games and surf the Internet all day, there are still so many good games out there coming out so rapidly that you'll never be able to play through them all. So everyone's in pretty much the same boat."

"I've had a similar experience with MMOs, but I have high hopes for Star Wars: The Old Republic."
