Greatest Game EVER

~Japan is the video game capital of the world, with gigantic companies like Nintendo and Sony. Perhaps fortunately, I don't have much time for gaming; annoying things like "sleep", "job", and "life" get in the way. However, every so often, a game arrives that is so amazing, so awe-inspiring, so mind-shatteringly perfect that it seems as though it was forged on the Anvil of Hephaestus. I refer, of course, to this:



^To recap: Instead of saving the President, you ARE the President, who makes even James Marshall look weak. You're in a mecha loaded with an insanely powerful arsenal of weapons, your goal is to annihilate a military rebellion led by the Vice President, who just happens to be named Richard, and you end the game by space-surfing back to Earth.

He certainly has my vote. Wilson-Hawke 2008!

Clearly, this game is a political statement of some kind, but who cares? With dialog gems like, "Nothing is pointless, and the reason is because I'm the President of the great United States of America! ...I'm gonna step into outer space!" and "Nothing like sipping some delicious darjeeling tea...and watching you getting your clock cleaned!", you don't need a believable plotline. There's more about Metal Wolf Chaos here and here. It's almost enough to make me run out and get an X-Box.

Almost.
