Every goal is similar (shoot, slice, or jump over something a bunch of times until you win). And every story is a sad facsimile of the richer ones being told in the best movies and books of the year. But I do keep coming back, and the nine games below (or above, if you’d prefer to view the gallery) are the reasons why.
