Top 5 Video Games you've never played .

Now a days flashy graphics and big budgets are all the rage in games but that's not all games are . Where is the story ? Often the story is the most overlooked part of a game . Many games with great stories get little to no coverage here are some of the best .

5. Lost Odyssey
Lost Odyssey is the story of Kaim, an immortal character who has lived more than 1,000 years. He doesn't remember his past, and he doesn't know where his future lies. Throughout Kaim's journey, a handful of characters will join him on an odyssey to discover their intricate past and destiny, leading you through a dramatic story of massive scale . This little gem is no ordinary rpg with a rich story and a time span of 1000 years to cover you won't want to stop playing to find out what happens next . Rated T

4. The Longest Journey
This old school point and click adventure game is very relevant to today . The Longest Journey will take you on an exciting and original journey of discovery, where you will explore, solve puzzles, meet new people, face terrifying monsters, learn, grow, and live the adventure of a lifetime . This game is Rated M for strong language .

3. Dreamfall


Something is affecting the world: static interference disrupts technology, and it seems to be linked to a ghostly presence seen only by a few – a presence inhabiting a black house in a wintry landscape . The second game in The Longest Journey series is no mere sequel available now over xbox live. This game is Rated M for strong language and violence .




2. Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic ( KOTOR )



The game takes place 4,000 years before the Star Wars movies . A Dark Lord of the Sith has unleashed a Sith armada against the Republic . The Siths aggression has left the Jedi scattered and vulnerable; many Jedi Knights died in battle , many others swore allegiance to the Dark Side. This game has one of the best moments in gaming a real must play. Rated T





1. Beyond Good & Evil


Beyond Good & Evil puts you in the role of Jade, a young woman who, along with her humanoid pig uncle, Pey'j, runs a orphanage in a lighthouse on the planet Hillys. Hillys is at war with an alien force known as the DomZ, and an elite squadron known as the Alpha Sections protects Hillys from the alien threat. Or does it ? There is something truly evil and something truly good in this game as the name impales . This game moved me in a way few ever have . One of the most human games ever conceived . Rated T


Thees games prove that story can be the most compelling component of a game . I for one hope more developers take the wisdom of thees games to hart .

" We must face the choice between what is right and what is easy . "
