Awwwh I was hoping to see No More Heroes. When Travis and 'final' boss Jeanne casually mention how they might affect the age rating of the game, as well as how their actions might actually get the game delayed... I had the hugest smile on my face; it was great. But anywho, great list!

Didn't they specifically say, like, "No More Heroes Forever" or something? I remember that.

Good list, that Eternal Darkness one would scare me shitless.

"...for a short while later we were introduced to Psycho Mantis, the game’s first boss fight." Unless I'm misunderstanding, this statement is incorrect. Revolver Ocelot is before Psycho Mantis.

Not to mention a fight against Vulcan Raven in a tank.

How about the very end of EarthBound, where all of the characters in the game appeal to YOU, THE PLAYER specifically, to pray for their victory? Aside from the awesome fact that it actually worked, it's still one of my favorite game moments of all time.

How about every game ever made by Grasshopper?
