Games!

• Sam’s been playing more KoA and Skyrim.  He’s got good things to say about Dawnguard.
• Alex thought he’d hate The Witcher 2, but actually didn’t.

Scripture!

What are the games that you must play in order to understand our hobby and the industry as a whole as it stands today?  What are the games you must play in order to be able to claim the mantle of Gamer?  When games become a part of the liberal arts curriculum, what games will constitute the classics that every school child will dread being forced to play through?

Alex puts forward Final Fantasy 7, Sam offers Portal, and Jonathan nominates Journey.  Tweet, comment, post, or call in your nominations, and we’ll include them in future discussions of what constitutes gaming scripture.
