For my Princess

/

A Gameslave Short for the Holiday

When the call goes out for a hero I seldom answer.  When the masses are in trouble I do not immediately go to their aid.  But when I hear my princess is in trouble I stir to action.  I travel from castle to castle only to find a toadstool in your place.  This does not deter me though, for you are my princess and I will save you.  I fight the enemies I make the jumps I defeat the koopas all for you, my princess.

And when I have to learn an instrument and traverse time.  When I have to enter temple after temple and solve their death traps I will do so without fail.  I do not do this for the gorons, the zora or the kokiri. I do not defeat Ganon and his evil plans for the better of the world.  I do it for my princess.

So when there is a danger, when the world is in peril, I am not the hero to seek.  But if my princess has been taken let me know, and I will cross the world, galaxies and time to rescue her.

Dead Space 2 Review - PC

/

In space, no one can hear you scream, but a space station is an entirely different matter, which is where Issac has found himself. Three years have passed (in game) since the events of the original Dead Space, so let us do a quick recap for those that don’t know. Issac Clark is an engineer that was sent out to do repairs on the USG Isimura, a planet cracker space ship. His girlfriend is on this ship so this works for him as this is the first time in months that he gets to see her. He gets to there, finds everyone dead and is almost immediately attacked by an alien with long scythe like arms. Long story short there is a strange “marker” that is causing these things to be created and causes people to go insane. His girlfriend is dead (spoiler, sorry) and it is up to him to destroy the marker, which by the way is the religious simple of the Unitarians. He destroys it, escapes and lives happily ever after. 

Ok, that last part was made up...
