This i highly agree with on the other hand :) Great writing and well developed characters does go a long way to create a great game experience, in some cases. Games such as Adventure, Action Adventure, Role Playing and action (not all sub-genres) games can benefit from great writing.
But, on the other hand, Shooters (top-down ol'school fx.), racers, flying, and loads of other game genres can get killed by shoving in a story (even if it's good) that takes you away from the action.
Btw. i have played all those games you mentioned and loved them! :) (ok, not Psychonauts which is a mistake i know, getting it when old Xbox games are downloadable on the 360 :))
