It's ironic that a lot of gamers would be raging on what Jennifer had to say. If you compare Bioware's masterpiece Baldur's Gate II with its more recent games, there is a lot more dialog and story in the former. Aside from the dialog alone, there are books and manuscripts you can read, and almost every weapon had its own special story to tell.

Having said that it's a shame that Jennifer hasn't tried more indie video games as opposed to the mainstream console games. There's actually some games on iPhone that are pretty much interactive 'Choose your own adventure' games that are the size of a novella in content.

Which games would these be? I'd love to try some good ones...

Thanks!

The Gamebooks Adventure series by Tin Man Games

There are plenty of other quick games too that aren't stereotypical like one I really like called Fairway Solitaire. There are too many to count. Smaller companies just take interesting risks that large game publishers will almost never take.
