The Top Five: The Emotional Ones
BY GRANT TAYLOR: Once in a while, a game will come along that we connect with on a much deeper level than usual. We’ll transcend the standard playthrough affair where we’re crossing the Ts and dotting the Is, and we’ll form an association with the characters or the story. I’m proud to say that I’ve played more than my fair share of titles over the years that have provoked an emotional response from me. I believe it’s the marking of an incredible developer when something as commonplace as a video game can draw feelings of sadness, longing or empathy from a player.
