The age old question: Can a video game make you cry?

In my case, not yet...But close. Quite a few video games have made me come close to crying. Yeah, I know I sound like a puss, but seriously. The ones that I can really say made me come close were things like Shadow of the Collosus, ICO, and (ready for this one...) Kingdom Hearts 2...Yes, KH2. Strange, very strange, I know.
     First of all, Shadow of the Colossus. Something about the end of the game were your character is turned into a BABY was oddly disheartning, and comes so very close to making you cry, or me at least. And then it starts playing this music, and your dead girlfriend comes back to life, and she picks you up and brings you to the roof of the castle, and BLAH BLAH BLAH. There is just something that makes you so sad about that ending that is nearly impossible to describe.
    Moving on, ICO. Now this one, I'm not sure if it was that I didn't want the game to end, or if it was the mixture of sad music, and seeing that ancient castle crumble into the ocean that was sad, but this one is pretty hard to explain as well. It is probably a mixture of those three things that makes you want to cry your eyes out (please note, I said I did NOT cry during these endings, I just came kinda close).
    And last but so very far from least, Kingdom Hearts 2. Now there are couple very clear reasons why the ending of this game makes you start jerking back the tears. First of all, it is a mixture of joy and sadness with KH2. You don't want the game to end, and the music by Utada at the end is a more sad remix of the KH2 theme song. So I came close on that one to.
    Feel free to mention if you have felt this way for any games in the past. Don't worry, no one will call you a baby...ya little whimp...

Twilight Princess: Its all planned out.

Basically...Its mine! Iv'e got it all planned out. On November 19, I will go and Get Twilight Princess from Gamstop for the Wii. I have it reserved for the Gamecube now, but I'm sure they will allow me to turn that reserve into the Wii version, considering they both cost the same. So anyway, I will have TP in my possesion for about a month...With nothing to play it on until Christmas, when I get my Wii. Yes I know, I will be in a nightmarish hell world from which there no escape, and all you can do is sit and stare at the case of your most anticipated game ever for about a month because I won't have the Wii to play TP on until Christmas. But that month in wait will finally pay off when I finally get my shiny new Wii for Christmas, and then spend my entire christmas vacation playing TP nonstop...THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!! TP HERE I COME!!!

The PSP *blech*

Soooo...Anyone else think its bad? Haha. Hurts to play (literally), horrible lineup of games, besides a few that I would be interested in, and some miserably failing UMD movies. One single game that I can really say could quite possibly be a system seller for me is Gitaroo Man Lives, as I was obsessed with Gitaroo Man for the PS2. Oh yeah, and in an interview with Tetsuya Namora, he said that the next Kingdom Hearts games could possibly be on the PSP. Quite tragic, I know. But seriously folks for now, if your thinking about buying this hunka junk, don't, go out and do yourself a fovor. Pick up a DS. You will be much happier.

I'm in school right now.

I'm in school at the moment, and I am seriously, seriously craving some Ape Escape 3. I do not know why. I beat the game in one sitting months ago, but suddenly I really really want to play it. Anyway, at least I'm being amused by my science teacher's stupidity, and the way she teaches, which really should not be considered teaching at all. I hate her...:evil:
