They should have included the story mode in Mortal Kombat Deception. Another one of those twists the big thing is you spend your whole life until you finally realize what youve done.

We discussed KOTOR in the office, but decided it didn't really fit the concept of the article, which is well-intentioned protagonists (or players, at least) suddenly finding out they'd actually been doing evil the whole time. Meanwhile, KOTOR's big twist (SPOILER ALERT) is about finding out that you were evil before the game even began, and that you've been manipulated into doing the right thing when all along you thought you were... doing the right thing. Again, it doesn't quite fit.

As for Crackdown, Assassin's Creed and MK: Deception, those were all considered, but in the end this is a Top 7 and we felt the entries that were included were stronger. Just assume that your favorite is #8.

Bioshock had a surprising twist but SOTC made you think the most, killing those creatures just got harder and harder...

even in the end of haze. i first felt sorry for poor merino. then when i heard: "do not fear. these emotions, they are just chemical reactions in your head..." and "you worry to much, my friend! they were just animals!" , i was like, oh damn. this guy's evil to. i think that was the real twist.

How is Kotor not on here? What about the "Guess what? You're the biggest evil the galaxy has ever seen. Have fun with your life." moment. That blew my mind

I almost wanted to weep at the end of Braid. I sat in front of the TV (after playing the game for several hours) for about 10 minutes when it reverted back to the "In Game" title screen, and had no idea what to think.

One of those defining moments in life... from a god damn video game no less (not to degrade the value of good old interactive electronic visuals!!)

As always, awesome article.

Problem: Some (many?) of yor readers are, in fact, fratboy douchebags. I am personally a member of a fraternity and I enjoy playing videogames and reading your articles. I know the stereotype that you are talking about, and have met many of them, but I do not think that the majority are like that. Do not get me wrong, I am not going to stop reading your site because I am offended. It is just slightly irritating that we all get cast in that light.

Like I said, great article, that was just annoying. Keep up that good work, and if possible, lay off the fratboy stereotype if you can.

Thanks,

Brad

Before anyone else comments: I know I misspelled your. It was a typo, not an actua "misspelling".
ballplayer27  - 7 months 27 days ago 
Wow. I cannot even correct myself correctly. I apologize to everyone for the misspelling of actual. Again, a typo and not a misspelling.

what happened to kotor !!!!!
Catdork  - 5 months 1 day ago 
Those are some serious twists!!!!!!

It reminds the twist in System Shock 2 - but it doesn't involve good-evil choice, though. Deus Ex is the game I played again the most, just to outweight the consequences... I wish games could only approach that one's depth of scenario...
