Top 10 Games with stories

Hey guys, today I am just going to be going over my top 10 video games with great stories! These games are NOT in any particular order but just my 10 favourite games with stories.

Number 10 : Last of Us
Last of us was released in 2013 and was big hit to the apocalyptic game genre and sold 8 MILLION copies by August 2014! 7 Million on PlayStation 3 and 1 million on PlayStation 4. It follows the character Joel just trying to survive in a world of infected individuals that crave the flesh of humans. Like Zombies but they act human almost. As time goes on, Older infected begin to transform from normal to blind and infested with fungus, these are known as clickers and hence the name 'clickers', they make clicking noises. Joel, a survivor in the apocalypse and Ellie, a teenage girl who could change the world as we know it battle through the cities nature reclaimed herself.



Number 9 : The Halo Series
The Halo series was first brought out in 2001 and still a bit hit to this day as an Xbox exclusive game and soon to be PC with the newest introduction to the Halo 5 Forge for PC. The first Halo game released in 2001 really showed the limits of the original Xbox and sold more than 5 million copies world wide by 2005. By then Halo 2 had already been released. I know I said that this would be based on games but I couldn't simply choose ONE halo game so we just included the whole series because they are all great. Halo is about a super soldier known as 'Petty Officer Master Chief John 117', it's a mouthful but his nickname by all is 'The Master Chief'. He embarks on missions with his trusty companion Cortana, an AI and they both rush to destroy the alien alliance known as 'The Covenant' and stop them from activating old ancient sentient beings weapons and destroying them before they are used for total destruction over the universe.

Number 8 : Grand Theft Auto 5
Grand theft auto 5 was released in 2013 and is a massive hit with the online community ever since the introduction to 'GTA - Online', When I purchased Grand theft Auto 5, it was mainly for the online however when you discover campaign, You get to feel how criminal would complete their operations with perfection, organisation and with style. You play as three main characters, Michael, Franklin and Trevor. Each of which move to Los Santos (which is the clone of Los Angeles) and due to coincidence, they all meet to do heists and as you progress, the heists get harder and the pay gets bigger! Overall for a free roam with a massive map, It is overall one of the best free roam games I've ever played.

Number 7 : LA Noire
In a city riddled with crime and murders after the recent W.W.2, LA Noire takes place. LA Noire was released in 2011 and sold over 5 million copies for PC and Consoles in the first year to August 2012. In LA Noire you play as Cole Phelps, a War veteran who joins the force and works his way up the ranks interrogating with multiple choice and solving mysteries. You end up with a 'snazzy' car and an annoying partner roaming the streets of LA undercover and catching anyone who strays from the law. The map is big and to be honest, My favourite game set in the 20th Century.

Number 6 : Telltale's The Walking Dead
Telltale executed The Walking dead game series perfectly, The Walking Dead sold over 1 Million copies in the first 20 Days! This is season one only bare in mind! The game sets you as the character Lee Everett who was to be transported to the Atlanta prison but was delayed by a stray 'Walker' in the road. Lee then meets up with a young girl named clementine who's parents were in Savannah and Lee promises clementine he'll take her there to go find them in hope that she can re-unite with them and be happy, little do they know, happiness is just a thing of the past...

Number 5 : Left 4 Dead
Left for dead is a zombie based FPS in america created by valve using the source engine. Left for Dead was released in 2008 for PC and XBOX. It had sold over 629 thousand on XBOX 360 in the first MONTH! Left 4 Dead is about a group of 4 survivors surviving in the apocalypse and after surviving 2 weeks, they begin to realise the zombies are changing! Things, just got real.

Number 4 : Dying Light
Dying light is a parkour apocalypse based game set in the city of Harran (fictional, implied to be in turkey) and is set around a military mission set by the GRE to send a guy in to find a war lord who might have a cure for the virus.

Dying light managed to sell 5 million copies with the first 7 to 8 months of sale as it was released in January 2015.

Number 3 : Dead Island
Dead Island is a fictional zombie game (Well, all of the are fictional) that takes place at a holiday resort just north of Australia. To the survivors, they have no idea why they haven't turned yet and have no idea how the infection began, however they soon find out in the epic zombie action FPS. Dead island alone managed to sell over 5 million copies being Techland's (The developers) most successful game!

Number 2 : Watchdogs
