Deus Ex: Human Revolution: if you can get past the whole ending debacle, this is a terrific game that isn't afraid to tell many smaller stories about the effects the in-setting technology has on the world. It contains a ton of small quests, and they are rarely fetch based, and many of them allow you to play them differently depending on not on your own choices but what enhancements you have made to your character. It's also a rare game where how you spend your XP (praxis points) makes a significant difference in your playthroughs: higher strength can allow you to punch through walls for shortcuts and hidden items, stealth upgrades will actually make a difference, the CASIE mod will help make social interactions easier but you can still mess them up by choosing poorly, etc. The game doesn't hold up well to more than 2 playthroughs, in my opinion, but it is an absolute gem for the first two.

 

BioShock: if you are only of the few players on the planet who haven't played BioShock, give it a chance. This is a rare game that I want to play for the 1st time again so I can experience the wonder of it. One of video gaming's best settings, it has two of the best written video game characters ever in my opinion (Ryan, Tenenbaum), and some of gaming's most iconic antagonists (Big Daddies, Cohen). The mechanics fit the story, nearly everything has a purpose, and the plasmid/tonic system give you a wealth of options that survive repeated playthroughs.

 

BioShock Infinite: do not compare the game to its predecessor. It's difficult not to, but Infinite is not trying to be BioShock. It's not trying to replicate its story or its mechanics. This game again contains some of video gaming's best characters (Rosalind and Robert Lutece, and arguably Elizabeth), and it has a powerhouse story that while is not 100 percent successful, is in my opinion unforgettable.

 

Tomb Raider Legend / Tomb Raider Anniversary / Tomb Raider Underworld: A trilogy of stories that is presented slightly out of order: Anniversary is chronologically first but was released after Legend and has enough improvements to the interface that playing Legend after Anniversary feels awkward. This is a rare story where all the primary principle characters are women: Lara Croft, Amanda Evert, and Jacqueline Natla. It is many things: a friendship turned antagonist by a near fatal accident; three quests for three ancient relics, the story of both the Arthurian and Atlantian monomyths, and how the mythology we know got a great many things wrong. The controls give some players fits, so be prepared to learn them (especially Anniversary/Underworld's wall run/jump), and learning to also position the camera (which is admittedly terrible in Underworld) can be daunting to new players. If you can most past the difficulty with the controls, though, it is an experience worth the investment of time.

DeusEx:HR endings were like a family trait, the original had nearly the same ones so its in line with the "legacy".  

Bioshock Infinite is good, and I enjoyed it quite a lot but it telegraphed its own plot so visibly during the early stages that I found it hard to be surprised by the "plot twists". 

but they are two games that everyone should play. 

Far Cry 3 is also high on my list of games people should play, 

And Red Faction:Guerilla, its just really enjoyable and while the story is not anything very original it conveys it well.
