"There are cubes everywhere!"
"IS IT A BADGER OR A BOAR?!?"

The game is short (about 3.5 to 4 hours), but if you have the money to go to the movies on a weekend then its about the same price. There is a story in this game with multiple letters and journals to read throughout. However, the handwriting in these books is so difficult to read.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is an old game, but it has aged well all things considered. Great storytelling, a balanced class system, and amazing soundtrack have remained (mostly) un-aged in the 12 years since its original release. If you are a Star Wars fan you already have this game; if you are just beginning to dive into the expanded Star Wars universe this is definitely a great place to start.

Undertale is truly one of a kind. The story, while simple on the surface, is full of plot twists--some good and bad. Incredibly well written with characters I never thought I could relate to. The soundtrack is a fantastic blend of retro/8 bit with orchestrated pieces here and there, and it never feels out of place. I know there’s a lot of hype surrounding the game, and I’ve been hyped, too. However, I can say it’s been worth it. If you have thought about trying the game, please do. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

With the God of Kings and the Brave New World expansion packs, Civ V is clearly the most fleshed-out game in its series. Civ V still holds the infinitely replayable value of the previous games, while introducing new and well-thought-out mechanics, like the overhauled combat system and the presence of the World Congress.

Adventure games are not for everyone. No question about it, but I implore everyone to give this title a chance. It's an adventure game that incorporates elements of film, but with enough quick decision making and branching plot aspects to keep you from feeling like you're just hitting continue. Simply put, if Walking Dead is an interactive movie, it is a really, really fun one.
The storytelling is deeply engaging, truly top shelf for video games. The animation, voice acting, writing and story arc are all genuinely good. It doesn't feel like settling for a second-rate story just because it is a game (MMORPG anyone?) . The choices feel important, stilted maybe, but important nonetheless.
