Personal Best

Posting here will be light over the next few weeks: finals. But I was doing some reading today, and listening to OCRemix versions of one of my favorite games ever: Square's classic SNES RPG, Chrono Trigger. There are so many great moments in that game it's impossible to list all of them. But I can at least mention a few of my favorite gaming moments. Not a long list, not complete, and not based on anything but my own personal experience/taste/whathaveyou.

Chrono Trigger: The first Lavos battle in the Kingdom of Zeal, 12,000 BC. That fight, and its surprising ending was a huge shock. The resolution of that situation is absolutely awesome. Likewise, there's a moment in Chrono Cross that's foreshadowed in the opening sequence which, when you see it in the gameplay, makes the ominous feeling you get from the foreshadow pay off in a big way. Still waiting for Chrono Trigger to come to the GBA.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Ah yes, the infamous twist. Who would have thought? And the cutscene that goes back to earlier conversations you had just makes sense as all the pieces fit together.

Soul Calibur 2: Playing this with Claire is just a lot of fun. Usually, betting is an integral part of our SC2 play. "If I win, I get to eat your ice cream sandwich!" "No!" "If you win, then you can stay up as late as you want." "Ummmm..." I always end up letting her have the ice cream sandwich anyway.

I'll update this as more come to mind.
