A Listmania! list by Owain (Dyserth, Wales)
(VINE VOICE)   
 
The Witcher (PC DVD)
1.  The Witcher (PC DVD) by Namco Bandai
The list author says:
  "What game is more deserving of being number one on this list? Not only a great plot, but a revolutionary one, which includes many touchy subjects such as racism and global warming."
£10.98   Used & New from: £1.95
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (59 customer reviews) | 6 customer discussions

Mass Effect (Xbox 360)
2.  Mass Effect (Xbox 360) by Microsoft
The list author says:
  "Best story on xbox 360? No doubt about it. It's a must have for anyone who wants a great story to get sucked into."
£14.75   Used & New from: £4.87
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (176 customer reviews) | 8 customer discussions

Half-Life 2: Game of the Year Edition (PC DVD)
3.  Half-Life 2: Game of the Year Edition (PC DVD) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "The first half life's plot, and it's expansions were amazing, but what half life 2 has done is make it even better. It will keep you hooked and thrilled until the tragic end of episode 2."
Used & New from: £9.99
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews)

Jade Empire: Special Edition (PC DVD)
4.  Jade Empire: Special Edition (PC DVD) by Take 2 Interactive
The list author says:
  "All the games above are about plots. This game's story is fantastic, but what really shines about Jade Empire is it's variety of characters."
£29.99   Used & New from: £3.59
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)
5.  Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC) by Activision
The list author says:
  "Where would games be without KOTOR? It contains one of the most jaw - dropping plot twists ever."
£6.49   Used & New from: £4.00
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (108 customer reviews) | 4 customer discussions

Neverwinter Nights 2 (PC DVD)
6.  Neverwinter Nights 2 (PC DVD) by Atari
The list author says:
  "Some people hate it, some love it. But there is one thing people can't deny, it has some pretty great characters. The plot is a little unoriginal, but it's still fantastic. I highly reccommend it."
Used & New from: £7.96
3.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (77 customer reviews)

Crysis (PC DVD)
7.  Crysis (PC DVD) by Electronic Arts
The list author says:
  "When people mention the word Crysis, the first thing that pops to mind is the mind blowing graphics in this game. But what I think stands out is it's hollywood quality plot."
£8.99   Used & New from: £3.44
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (164 customer reviews) | 22 customer discussions

Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
8.  Halo 3 (Xbox 360) by Microsoft
The list author says:
  "Not exactly the best story on this list, but it's an excellent finale, with a booming soundtrack to give it an added bonus."
£11.33   Used & New from: £0.22
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (353 customer reviews) | 23 customer discussions

The Darkness (Xbox 360)
9.  The Darkness (Xbox 360) by Take 2 Interactive
The list author says:
  "Dark, disturbing and heartbreaking, The darkness feels like what spiderman 3 should have been. It's climax made me weep, and that alone, would be a good enough reason to buy this marvel."
£15.90   Used & New from: £2.11
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (68 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)
10.  Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360) by Ubisoft
The list author says:
  "Yeah, sure, we've heard plenty stories about templars secretly controlling our world before, but Assassin's Creed does this a lot better than the da vinci code (and it has a better narrative)."
£8.50   Used & New from: £2.38
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (238 customer reviews) | 6 customer discussions

Lost Odyssey
11.  Lost Odyssey by Microsoft
The list author says:
  "Sometimes you can feel that the dialogue is a bit clunky, but for pure story-telling greatness, Lost Odyssey is highly reccomended. There was a moment at the end of disc one which made me emotional."
£18.85   Used & New from: £5.87
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (79 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - (Xbox 360)
12.  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - (Xbox 360) by Activision
The list author says:
  "It's unbeliveably short, but characters and a nuclear plot make this game highly reccomended, if you're willing to have to finish it in around 5 hours."
£14.48   Used & New from: £2.65
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (257 customer reviews) | 11 customer discussions

Simon The Sorcerer
13.  Simon The Sorcerer by Adventure Soft Publishing
The list author says:
  "A blast from the past. It left me in stiches and it's likeable art design makes you wonder why they don't make games like this anymore."
Used & New from: £0.90

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey ( XPLOSIV PC DVD ROM)
14.  Dreamfall: The Longest Journey ( XPLOSIV PC DVD ROM) by Empire
The list author says:
  "The longest journey had one of the most likeable characters of all time: April. Dreamfall might include her, but the new main character Zoe, is even better. Plus as you'd expect, the plot is superb."
£12.99   Used & New from: £1.90
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (57 customer reviews)

The Longest Journey (PC DVD ROM)
15.  The Longest Journey (PC DVD ROM) by Xplosiv
The list author says:
  "Even to this day, there is barely any adventure as outstanding as this. Witty, original and charming are only some of the millions of good words to describe the longest journey."
Used & New from: £12.95
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)
