Everybody remembers the first time you play that game that you instantly fall in love with. The one that all other games must compare to. Even if it is not the same genre, you'll find a way to compare the two. These give us all we want for a long time. However, we always move on to newer games. Those games do not though. They know their job. My game will wait, be shoved around, tossed, and maybe even sold. Then it will happen. I will find it, see it, or read about it and remember all those memories that filled me with great pleasure. I must journey back once more.
Getting and playing a game you've played before is usually a good routine. You remember the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly. Sometimes you'll think to yourself "Oh yea, that's why I stopped this game." Those special games though, are always a great trip into gleeful nostalgia. They take you back in time to all those fantastic moments. The story will still give you goosebumps. The action is always thrilling. The best part, is that you can always find a new way to enjoy the game.
Some games just can't be replayed. They don't feel any different. Games should be a new experience every time you play. Some games though seem to be built to give you a lot of these great moments, but only on one play-through. Your favorite game though, it's always ready to cook up something that is just different enough that you will make you enjoy again. Being able to play a game again and again until I am an expert at everything that game has to offer, and still want to play one more time. That is a perfect game to me.
Developers really do have an amazing gift. They create a world in which you could be friends with. These games they create will be with us for a long time. This goes out to DICE for my playground that is Mirrors Edge and the newly announced Mirrors Edge 2. Once more unto the skyscrapers. Thanks again for the memories.
