Gaming's most dizzying plots for dummies

Nothing in life is simple, is it? Instructions for turning on your TiVo that could fill the Old Testament, PS3 firmware updates that you need a degree to decipher and your average game plot that’s more convoluted than Return of the King’s ten endings; how we pine for more basic times.

That’s why we’ve taken some of the most confusing, overblown and needlessly preachy game plots in existence and broken them down into the form of doodles, diluted videos and dumbed-down captions that even a baby could understand. Well, an especially aware and brainy baby, that is.

As told depressingly and confusingly by: SILENT HILL 2

As retold by us: In the style of a ten year old.

As told - mainly through QTEs - by: GOD OF WAR II

As retold by us: Using plasticine monsters.

As told - almost exactly the same way in every game - by: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

As retold by us: In a massively to the point way.
