Greetings everyone, and welcome to the first entry in my latest blog series. I've given this one a lot of thought, so I feel it'll be as exciting for you to read as it is for me to write. Let me inform you that entries 10 through 2 are in no particular order. So, without further exposition....
P.S. - I shouldn't have to remind anyone that this blog series will include massive plot spoilers to any game that makes an appearance. So, please read at your own risk.
P.S. 2 - I apologize if any of the images I include in these entries are bigger or smaller than they should be. I'm a noob at resizing things. I will include a link to any photo that cannot be properly seen on the blog page.
10.) Bioshock (Atlas Revelation)
Ahh, Bioshock. What a game. If Bioshock is anything, it's definitely not predictable. Anyone who saw this one coming was either on the dev team at Irrational Games, or a psychic. Who could've guessed that the kind person with the gentlemanly accent who had been guiding you through the horrors of Rapture for the majority of the game was actually a cold, calculated man bent on using you for his own gain? That's right. Nobody. This game proves that choice in many situations, be they fact of fiction, is merely an illusion.
9.) Shadow of the Colossus (Entire Game)
This one I kinda have to cheat on. The entire game is filled with incredible moments and sequences. Every entry on this list could come from this game alone. Since that is so, I refuse to pick just one. Deal with it.
8.) Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Train Sequence)
This is probably the most technically impressive entry on the entire list. What makes it so impressive is that you're constantly moving the entire time through an ever-changing landscape. I didn't even think that was possible in a video game until Uncharted 2. I still occasionally boot this game up every now and then just to play through this particular sequence. Bravo Naughty Dog, bravo.
Hope you like how this first episode turned out. Stay tuned for the next episode within the next few days. Ciao.
