I've never been one to gush over video game storylines. I appreciate a decent story to thread the gameplay experience along, but I tend to view the interactive medium of gaming as just that, and tend to hate games that push their storyline to the point of being pretentious.
There's something about a lot of video game storytelling that is just so bad. I can't fully put my finger on it, but it often comes across as trying way too hard and missing the mark.
Probably because a lot of these guys are game designers first, and writers, a very very distant second.
