Day 8 - Best soundtrack
Shadow of the Colossus. No other game’s soundtrack has given me chills like this game did. The orchestra music was a perfect match, and every time a colossus fell it evoked a deep feeling of sadness and dread from me.

Day 7 - Favorite game couple
New Prince and Elika <3 Prince is sarcastic and charming and Elika is noble and strong. They naturally butt heads, but their relationship progresses through their need to work together (and come on, who could resist his charm?). While playing, Elika is not simply a companion but your right hand, so the bond is reinforced even more. I love their banter and I love how at the end of it all Prince cannot bear to part with her, so he commits a truly selfish act. Now that’s love, baby.

Day 6 - Most annoying character
Chloe from Uncharted 2. I know other game characters have annoyed me, but I haven’t felt such hate for one in a long time. She is a shallow, empty, stereotypical “bad ass" hot girl with guns, pouty lips and sex appeal, but not much else. She is merely eye candy for all the men playing the game and it’s so obvious it hurts. Elena had so much more depth and I can’t believe they let a walking cliche like Chloe into their games to take her place for most of the second game.
SKIP TO 9 MINUTES THIS IS SO COOL. I CANT EVEN. AHHHH and the END. I’m going to become rich so I can hire some guys to just trot around with this in front of me all day while I eat grapes ok? D:

Day 5 - Game character you feel you are most like (or wish you were)
I would have to say Rinoa. Sadly, I think a lot of people find her annoying, but I see myself in her. She’s cheerful and playful, and always looks on the bright side. She’s not very strong but she tries really hard. I hope people don’t think I’m annoying too…

Day 4 - Your guilty pleasure game
Cut the Rope. I freaking LOVE this game. It is very addictive, has simple yet awesome gameplay, puzzles that are fun to work out, and superb animation. And it’s only 99 cents! I check it religiously for updates with new levels.

Day 3 - A game that is underrated
This is another tough one. I think I have to steal this one from s0an and say Psychonauts. It’s a game I was always interested in but was never able to play until I got an Xbox360. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I can’t believe it didn’t do better when it came out. It was so enjoyably loopy.

Day 2 - Your favorite character
This is a tough one, but I think I have to say I enjoy Nathan Drake the most. He has a very unimpressive character design, but his personality more than makes up for it. This character relies on who he is, not what he looks like. He’s smart, strong, funny and adorably charming, but he has his flaws too so he ends up being very real.
That being said, Sully was a very close second. I love Sully!
