The Top 7... WTF?! Endings

Oct 22, 2007

The hard part's over. You've finished every mission. You've collected every power up. You've beaten every boss. You've saved the world and probably a few princesses to boot. Now all you want is your reward - some long awaited, richly deserved resolution.

You won't find it here.

No, these seven games have that other kind of ending. The kind that mocks you, disappoints you, angers you and just plain baffles you all at once. The kind that answers nothing but adds a maddening amount of mystery to everything. The kind that leaves you staring at the screen, dumb founded, waiting for the real conclusion to begin. The kind that could only have been written in a bar, an executive boardroom or some developer's dream journal.

In other words, these are endings that make you go, WHAT?! THE?! F--... well, you get the idea.

Painfully Obvious Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD.
