There are certainly games out there that we can consider “generation-defining”, their impact on the industry and on the zeitgeist of gaming is without question.

Do you like Rocky? Of course you like Rocky! Everyone like Rocky! And chances are, the particular Rocky film that you dig is either number 3 or 4. They’re both damn good films, examples of pure underdog spirit and determination in comparison to the down-on-hi-luck exploits in the first two flicks. And I refuse to believe that Rocky Balboa was …
There are films in life, that you cannot miss out on. Movies that defined the industry. And then you get those movies, which if missed, will leave you completely clueless in university when everyone recites lines from it at point-blank range to your face. And despite being older than anyone here, when it comes to sheer insanity over a 90 …
