Pretty much hit it on the head, FngKestrel. The best games are ones with stories that compliment the gameplay wonderfully, like Deus Ex, most Zelda games, the venerable Marathon, System Shock, RE4 and so forth. Those are the ones that will be remembered in years to come, while those that are all eye candy will age by the next generation.
