There are many wonderful video games out there, so this is a very very hard thing to judge. I guess it's all down to personal preference. For me a great video game is a challenge but not to the point where you stop playing and it must make you want to drop everything else to play it.

So, in no particular order:

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: One of the first video games on the Wii I ever played. It got me stuck to video games in general like glue. I really love the mixture of game-play from either being Link or twilight-wolfie Link. I love the mixture of games, and the raw fighting towards the end. The plot doesn't really class as realistic, but it's oddly relatable.

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise: A very sweet kids game. When all the Pinata records get stolen, it's your job to re-collect them all! This is oddly quite challenging, but so very cute! Lots of pinata animals come to live in your garden, depending what else is in there. There are predatory creatures too, which come and destroy your garden! Pinata also can eat each other, and get sick if they get sad. This is the second of three games and is a great plot improvement on the first game, which had virtually none.

DarkSiders: I love this game. Most of it is totally indescribable, and it's so good, in terms of both plot and graphics. You play as War to begin with, and explore various maps, collecting souls. It is hard to write about, but amazing, none the less.

Guitar Hero: World Tour: Okay, so it doesn't really have a playable plot, but is still one of the best video games of all time, in my opinion. You start out as part of a tiny rock band, and work your way up to playing with the best, stars such as Sting and Ozzy.

Legend of Zelda: Windwaker: Okay, so I'm a bit of a Zelda fan! Another puzzle and combat based game, but a little more puzzling. You play as Link, and start out on a lonely little island. Then, some pirates kidnap your sister! OH NO! Over the course of the game, you track the pirates, and realise there is something much bigger going on. You must not only save your sister, but save the world.

Simple, any Zelda game presents a wonderful plot.
