I can relate to your final point. TV gets pushed aside for gaming far more in my life nowadays. Some of the story lines in games can easily outperform most of the dross on (UK) TV.
I have generally found that having enough time to commit to a highly story based game can be quite a challenge. The idea of playing MGS all the way through like i did when as Uni is quite a daunting task. It is perhaps foolish of me that i recently bought TES: Oblivion for PC (damned £8 price tag reeled me in) whilst in the middle of trying to get 100% on GTA:SA before GTA:IV comes to PC. The plot of Crysis may be questionable, but i could dip in and out of it and is one of the few games (other than the HL series) that i have managed to play to completion. I have also returned to it to play particular levels again, which is something i have never done with HL for example.
Network now...

You probably do on the book equivalent of Edge!
Maybe you can only join games that are at the same place as you in the main story?
