Lime's Favourite Moments in Gaming (PART ONE)

Hallo.

Spoilers ahead.

So, I wanted to share my favourite moments in gaming. Let us dive into it.

In no particular order...

BioShock's first Big Daddy fight:

Oh what a doozy. Even when I first witnessed the brutality these creatures can cause to other characters surrounding me, my reactions were mixed. "Pure badass," and "Oh crap. I don't want to battle that!" But when I reached the moment, where I needed to confront such a force, I was filled with pure terror and thrill. I was weak, and he continuously towered over my characters body in anger. Taking him down and reaping the rewards was a great feeling.

Left 4 Dead's Tank:

Fearsome, huge and deadly. Seeing this bounding towards you, initiates the FPS Gamer's first reaction, "Hit S and peg it." Massive fun to fight and something to be proud of if you can kill it in single player.

Left 4 Dead 2's 'Dark Carnival' Finale:

Explosions, clowns, zombies, guns and rock 'n' roll. Only in Valve's Left 4 Dead series would these make for such a perfect combination. Along with the banter between Coach, Ellis and Nick before entering the area, the perfect crescendo of pure zombie apocalypse and rather surprisingly good Midnight Riders blaring through my speakers, I felt epicness flow from my machines.

Portal's Credit Song:

A recap of everything I've done? Dark humour? Sold. This was a pleasant surprise to end such a fantastic little game.

Mass Effect 1's Final Boss

Saren. You mother fucker. Not only did you finally reinstate my hope in a proper final boss battle at the end of my games instead of these silly final sequences found in most games. And also, you were a pretty kick ass bad guy to start with. Two sequences, resulting in a really exciting and thrilling battle. Contained with constant healing, issuing orders and poor frame rates, this could only mean the greatest boss battle in years.

Persona 4's Music:

Never has a game made me smile with J-Pop/J-Rock. Catchy, played in nearly every battle and awesome music to accompany the cutscenes and other story elements locked deep within.
