The Monkey Island games are among my favorites to this day because of their good writing, as are the other Lucasarts games. Some others are Beneath a Steel Sky, the Broken Sword series, the Longest Journey, Psychonauts, Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy) and Telltale's Sam and Max series.
They tell great stories, they have great dialog, and most are extremely funny. That's all credited to the writers.
I see where you're coming from - games can be a lot of fun due to gameplay without great writing, BUT no other games have hit me on an intellectual and emotional level, because that requires good writing.
