Definetly one not to forget... was trying to go for newer titles, but you're right, Fallout 1 and 2, Grim Fandango (probably the best adventure game since Monkey Island 2), Shogo, Discworld 1 and 2, Red Faction (which suffered from some poor gameplay elements unfortunately) and Max Payne (and yes, the voice acting and the pencil necked programmers posing as heavies in the cut scenes was kinda bad... but the story was still great... and bullet time rocks!)
I guess since a lot of these games are really action titles, but have the story added to them as either cutscenes, mission objectives and in some few cases as alternate endings, people don't consider them as story driven as old text adventures, but they are just as interactive, and in many cases just add the action sequences we otherwise would have had in games like Zork had the technology allowed it. (granted Beuracracy would have been a lot easier, and less funny, if you could just storm the building with guns blazing).
