    The identy of the killer in Persona 4. That is probally one of the best kept secrets in a videogame. They even have a guy who is clearly the killer, but isn't. Also, you have to select the killer from a list of EVERYONE in the game right down to your little sister. So if you missed the 1 vauge clue that they gave in the middle of an intense cutscene so you wouldn't notice it then you can't win.

    Bioshock was a good twist

    KOTOR # 1 = HELL YEAH! I remember playing that game. Something felt out of place but I wouldn't have guessed that the character was actually the biggest bad-ass of the galaxy, Revan.

    EXCUSE ME!!! how about azimuth killing ratchet in a crack in time?!?!? no one saw that coming right? RIGHT??!??!?!?! oh wait...

    I would have swapped Bioshock and KOTOR but they're both amazing. This was an awesome list. Although I think it's a little unfair to call Heavy Rain's ending a plot twist when it is in fact just an unplausible ending. I mean, you know it wasn't him because you know he couldn't have killed the watchmaker. I would have pulled that one in favor of Red Dead because that ending hit me like a shit ton of bricks. I mean honestly, who saw John's death coming? If you must include Heavy Rain then put it in the notable mentions where Red Dead was.

    After looking at the last Raiden picture, I suddenly got more self conficence.

    Revan fucking deserves No. 1

  • JADENkOTOR - November 17, 2010 8:44 p.m.

    KOTOR is the best game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Where's Enslaved: Odyssey to the West?

    Still remember being shocked by the Metroid ending. Good times.

    ah Raiden is not really a plot twist. its a gameplay twist thats all. But MGS2 had a ton of plot twists, learning that all thats happening there is just to make you gamer (as Raiden) become a badass like Snake was a genius play. too bad most ppl never got it

    Great article, I personally would have Bioshock at number 1 because I played the game a year after it came out and somehow managed to avoid the big spoiler

  • sleepy92ismypsn - November 16, 2010 4:43 a.m.

    Great Top 7. I've beaten most of the games on this list and the others I will most likely never play.

  • spideralex90 - November 16, 2010 4:23 a.m.

    Awesome top 7. Bioshock and KOTOR justly deserve the top.

    The little girl in the one picture that just found out her dad is a cross-dresser looks like she's about to laugh and say "I told you so, Mommy!" LOL Aaanyway. Good list! Pretty much all of these made me go "Wait...what? Oh, DAMMIT!" A game that wasn't mentioned was L4D...>>> Although it isn't revealed in the game itself, the comics (which are cannon) show that all of the Survivors are actually carriers of the disease. I know that I should have realized that, and facepalmed myself for not realizing it, I still thought it was awesome and unexpected.

    Once again, no one wants to admit that Andrew Ryan killing himself in Bioshock makes absolutely no sense. I understand its a shocker to find out you're basically a robot, but they ruined it by injecting an unnecessary plot device. Think about it. Why did Ryan use you to kill himself?

  • hanktherapper - November 16, 2010 3 a.m.

    From the beginning, I knew the Atlas twist in "Bioshock" because it was set up just like System Shock 2.

    @kennytheinsane: nah, i kinda figured that out before namine told us, it was shocking tho'.

  • yetanotherCid304 - November 16, 2010 1:38 a.m.

    Great Article GR! You articles is awesome! (Turning in CATZ) Would you kindly keep writing more?

    The KOTOR twist simply blew my mind :D
