The first time in awhile that I agree with a list with the only game that I haven't played being Marathon.

The Resistance franchise seems to be missing, as it also had a decent storyline. Though I wouldn't replace it any game of the games on the list.

The original Half-Life had a great story, they just didn't really tell it in the game.
