Reboot the game: I don't want to save the world

Bitmob writes "I don’t want to be the chosen one. I don’t want to get the girl. I don’t want to make kingdoms rise and fall on my whim. I don’t want to dictate who lives and dies. Most of all, I don’t want to save the world."

A game where you dont save the world/girl/yourself?

Pretty much anything called Casual, I suppose. No high profile AAA game I can think of doesn't have you saving at least on of the above.

Having "yourself" as one of the criteria is a bit much (any game where failure is followed by death would meet it), but plenty of AAA games don't require you to save the world or a generic damsel in distress. Just look at the recently released Portal 2.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
