If you’re like me, you generally play games to escape from your everyday pressures of work and family. It’s fun. It’s a fantastic social and personal outlet for creativity, strategy, and role-playing. For the most part, games tend to be surreal or beyond the realm of possibilities. I just wanted to make the point that, for me, FFOW hit home. The beginning storyline sequence was thought provoking. Call of Duty 4 was another game that engaged the player in the harshness of a what-if scenario of bad events that is not out of the realm of possibility. I respect game developers that do this. It makes me a much happier consumer when the game has a compelling reason for me to believe in the storyline and have a great game to back it up.

- I probably should've come up w/ a better title to the thread, something like: "Another Reason to Buy This Game"
