30 Days of Video Games Day 13

A Game I Have Played More Than Five Times:

I have to start with the game I would have played five times over if I still had it: Metroid Fusion.  Actually, pretty much any Metroid game.  It's this strangely perfect balance of exploration, action, and puzzle-solving.  Plus, the aheer amount of skill it takes to get to some secrets can drive you crazy.  Until you actually succeed, of course, and then it's awesome.  But yeah, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Prime each are awesome games.  Maybe the only exception I hold could be the original Metroid, because I need at least a little prodding in the right direction.  Plus, by the time you have a ton of upgrades, you feel like The Juggernaut.

I could do this fight all day.

Much the same thing could probably be said about Portal in the next few years.  It's short, it's wonderful, and I think I've put the count up to at least three play-throughs.



But the winner has to go to Chrono Trigger.  I found it on a large emulator collection I was given.  I thought, "Hmmm... Chrono Trigger.  This could either be retarded, or it could be pretty cool."  So I started playing, and IT WAS AWESOME.  The story was sooo much cooler when I didn't even know what would be on the back of the box.  Ugh, it was too damn cool.


So I played it again and again on my emulator when I found out there were multiple endings.  Then, I got the game for Christmas on my DS, and the number of times I've played it has been increasing somewhat steadily.
