    Default Gameplay that tugs at the heartstrings

    Innovative game design creates truly emotive experiences

    Some games reach out and grab us more than others – which games left an indelible mark on your gaming psyche?

    The games that comes to mind are The Last of Us, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, Final Fantasy X & X-2. These games had above average storylines which really allowed you to connect to the characters and immerse yourself in their lives, not to mention all these games really tugged at your heartstrings towards the end of them. Amazing titles.

    What about Brothers? The last chapter was pretty tear-jerking...

    Brothers was okay, but To The Moon had a much bigger effect on me.

    Agreed, I freakin' cried like a baby. Such a sad moment when you realise the significance of the moon. Beautiful and yet troubling and sad story. The humour was also really great.

    An aside - for those who have and played To the Moon an update on steam would have added a special 20min holiday episode to the game - you can find it in SteamApps\common\To the Moon\To the Moon\SigCorp - Holiday Special (Bonus Game)

    I haven't played it yet, just jogged my memory now.
