Some of the best games I've ever played are strategy games. I'm a big fan of games like Fire Emblem or once you get into EV training in Pokemon that becomes a strategy game in itself.

But agreeing with pretty much everyone in this thread, RPG games are usually a good way to go. Ranging from things like the Tales of series to say, Borderlands.

Fire Emblem is a great game when you know what its about

Of course! Story is the biggest part of a game!

It really depends on the game.

Minecraft, Angry Birds, Spore, Empire Earth, Civilization 5, Forza games, burnout games, and lets not forget the classic pong and pac-man.

Don't give all the credit to the writer.

You know, games like that slipped my mind. Still some great games out there without story don't get me wrong! But I still do have to say that story can make or break a game. It could be the best developed game ever but if the story in a game was bad and made no sense or something I'd probably step back from it.

Fair enough, though Fighting games manage to get away with it.
