I've been thinking. There are always a few weeks in every term which we have free, and are generally wasted. We decided to have a little experiment. We shall be studying a game, with a focus on narrative and design. Here's where you come in. I want suggestions for this. The games must be suitable for 14-15 year olds.

I hope you are joking. That is the kind of trash my students play already....

To be a little more precise, I want games they might not have played.

Ys I & II

By which I mean, not mainstream and stuff. Ys sounds interesting.
Indies in particular might be a good idea.

@Red_XIII, maybe Cave Story? It's definitely appropriate for your target age group (and will probably be interesting to them). It's one of the more popular indie titles, but still indie nonetheless, and may not be that well known outside the gaming community. Also you can get it pretty much anywhere (I think even the original free PC version is still out there, if I'm not mistaken).

That, and it's one heck of a good game.

Alternatively if you think your students are easily bored, maybe something like Braid or Shelter?

always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

E.T.

But on a more serious note, Super Metroid. Even if everyone knows about it, the game is still the textbook of the Metroidvania, a rather popular genre nowadays.

older Fire Emblem games, not many people played and they are really worth it.
and I agree with the guys who said Super Metroid too

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. You don't need to buy all of the toys, just pick up the starter pack for one of the console versions or the PC version. This game pretty much prides itself on creating an immersive story involving the player and their Skylanders, with characters straight-up talking to you or referring to you multiple times, I think it might be a perfect fit for you. I wouldn't recommend picking up the sequels for the purposes of studying the story because they don't have the same immersion as the first and tend to ignore your presence a lot more than the first game(I guess you could substitute Giants in if you can't find SA for some reason, although it's not as good story-wise as SA, but SF will not work- it just ignores the player a lot unlike SA and the story itself honestly is bad and full of plotholes and filler characters).
