Epic game plots made simple

As told melodramatically by: FINAL FANTASY VII

As retold by us: In a 'who cares if she croaks' style.

Above: Sixty hours of complex character arcs summed up by a death. That's right. She dies. Deal with it

As pretentiously told by: THE HALO TRILOGY

As retold by us: With a no-nonsense editor.

As half-heartedly told by: GTA IV

As retold by us: Even more half-heartedly.

As told - too seriously for a game with beefy spacemen - by: GEARS OF WAR

As retold by us: In a cold scientific, mathematical fashion.
