I think mass effect takes this one. You just get deeply into that story.

By best I mean, what story makes you sit and think about it? What story makes you just sit in awe of the game?

Mass Effect or Halo. Their stories are ridiculously rich and complex.

Either Halo, Elder Scrolls, or Star Wars if that counts.

Well the best in my opinion is The Elder Scrolls universe.

Just because a game has a good story doesn't mean it has a good universe.

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

MineCraft.

No but I'd say Halo is up there. Mass Effect...and I love the universe in Batman's Arkham games.
