Yeh I didn't watch it all. Egoman and Superegoman might have put me off.

Like TV show characters the more you watch/play the deeper the characters become. As I've said though its not the best story in a game but I thought a 7hr video of just story would put to bed the idea games aren't story based and are just action.

As a few people have already highlighted, with the advent of HBO and Showtime we've seen American TV series improve, but I think it all started before that. Over in the UK we've seen good shows for years raised the bar, and they perfected the short-run of 6-12 episodes per season, as opposed to the 22-24 that the US required for network television. The US started to improve (slightly) around 15 years ago with shows like CSI that lifted the production values of TV drama, but it's the current crop like Breaking Bad, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Sons Of Anarchy etc that have taken it to the next level.

I read those from start to end, and then choose the best adventure.
