4. According to Game Informer magazine, the greatest twist in video game history came at the end of a 1986 game, in which it’s revealed that Samus Aran has been a woman all along. What game was that? “Metroid” Thinking about this some more, WTF? Why was it "the greatest twist in video game history" to reveal that the main character of the game had been a woman? You know, half the people in the world are women. Even in 1986 that was still the case. |
