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)!

Day 15 - Saddest Game Scene

There are very few scenes that drive me to tears.  Games stir emotion regularly in me, but true sadness has only come twice for me.  These really are MASSIVE, GAME RUINING SPOILERS ahead.  The games (Final Fantasy X and Valkyria Chronicles) have big moments ruined if you haven't played them.  So grab your kleenex and read on if you'd like...

Day 14 - Most Epic Game Scene


We all love those set-piece moments in gaming.  The moments where Hollywood-style action meets our controller and we are in for a roller coaster ride.  Those moments where we just have to shout out loud.  Those moments where adrenaline surges and our pulse quickens.  I'm talking about those epic moments of epic epicness!  There will be SPOILERS here, as I have to describe scenes, so read on if you'd like!

Day 13 - Favorite Antagonist


Oh, villains are always fun.  Most are usually so cartoonishly evil and have ridiculous plans to blow up the world or end all life or remake the world in their image.  They are the people that you love to hate (and sometimes love to love).  I enjoy a well thought out villain.  As per the last few posts, SPOILERS PRESENT so please be careful.

Day 12 - Favorite Protagonist


Oh, dear.  Another tough call.  As has been the case with the last few, this will have POTENTIALLY MASSIVE SPOILERS.  You've been warned.
