About Spec Ops: The Line, I agree the main story was a bit heavy handed, but to me the subtle elements of the game are what made the story worthwhile.

Possible Spoilers

For example the loading screen taunting me after I died too many times, or combat meaning to be repetitive and grueling, or the transition theory which (if I remember correctly) was when the screen fades to white the next sequence was a fabricated part of the story created by walker,and when the screen fades to black the sequence actually happened. The transition theory then ties in to the theory that Walker is in a purgatory where he is forced to relive the terrible events that have come to pass.
