gamrReview's Joseph Trotter: "'Narrative? That's just stories, aye?' Sam said, leaning back in his chair. 'Why not just call it Best Stories and be done with it?'

Even the best of games previously had relatively simple stories, but developers have wised up to the idea that gamers want strong, coherent narratives to compel them through the game. The rise and popularity of narrative-driven games such as The Walking Dead testifies to this. High-grossing blockbuster games now consider the ways in which the gaming medium can push story-telling and how best to involve the player. Best Story would not emphasise the complete package required for a great narrative. Plus, Narrative sounds better.'"
