My wife asked me a long time ago why I was so into playing games on the PC and the Xbox. Well, I read this article about how the storytelling was developed for Max Payne 2 - The Fall of Max Payne.

I realized that the games I tend to really like are the games with shooting, action, stealth, and a good story to tell. A story where I play the lead character and get to decide how the story plays out. Sure, I like some of the mind-numbing shoot-em up games - but the ones that I really enjoy tell me a story and let me become the main character.

Those games that I've recently enjoyed (or re-enjoyed as the case may be) that fall under this category are:

Max Payne 2 - The Fall of Max Payne
Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow
Rainbow Six 3
Mission Impossible: Operation Surma
XIII
Hitman: Contracts
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Rogue Ops
kill.switch
Brute Force
Splinter Cell
