I remember growing up (I'm only 27!) there were soooo0o0o many outstanding games. I can still recall the Christmas morning I woke up and had finally been lucky enough to get an SNES from my parents only to find that my father hadn't been able to wrap it because he had been up all night playing Zelda: A Link to the past. Then there was FFVI, a game I was ADDICTED to after seeing the first "cut scene" explaining the war. I remember trying for WEEKS to find a place that actually had the game so I could rent it, usually to no avail, because it was either rented or had been stolen! Shit, I remember when when I first played FFVII and had saved every penny I had to get the game, with no money left over to buy a memory card. I loved that game so much that for the first month I would restart from the very beginning every single morning until I was FINALLY able to buy a memory card and proceed past the Shinra tower. Then I found Xenogears and it nearly took over a year of my life...
So what the hell happened? Am I just getting old now? Is my imagination slowly fading? I can't find a game to save my life that will still hold my attention for more than a week. I recently finished Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii and for the first time in a log time had the satisfaction of finding a game with a story line so good, I couldn't stop playing. Even then, it didn't seem as good as the stories from past games were.
So what are the newer games now days who's STORY hold your attention? I'm not talking about getting to the next rank in COD so you can unlock that new grenade launcher either! But game,s you honestly cant put down because the story has you so pulled in you cant wait to see what happens next...
