Why did you use a picture of uncharted? It has a great story.

Mario and Sonic both have been in RPGS. Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario, Mario and Luigi all these games had fairly deep stories for mario games, and in no way were they lesser because of it.

Even the new Mickey Mouse game for wii is going to have a pretty dramatic narrative.

You just haven't played many new games with a story. Heavy Rain and Alan Wake look crazy good.

And Yahtzee is funny as hell.
He jokes about hating everything in multiple episodes. He admits to purposefully hating everything because that's what hes supposed to do.
