30 Days of Gaming: Day 22

Day 22 - Game with the Best Story

Day 16 - A Video Game Setting You Wish You Lived In


Ahh, life on good ol' Earth.  It's not bad, all things considered.  But, what if we could go to someplace more fantastic?  Someplace that has different day-to-day challenges?  Someplace that's so different from our own that our lives would be completely different?  This is what video games do (or should do): they offer a chance to live another life in a fantastical setting.  No spoilers today (that I know of)!
