Essay Prompt (Because Gaming is SERIOUS BUSINESS)

Pick a game that is particularly significant on a personal level and attempt to explain why. There are no right or wrong answers here because these will obviously vary from individual to individual. Your reasoning can be based upon an emotional event that took place simultaneously (such as the by now quite well known Animal Crossing tear-jerker of a tale), the fact that it epitomizes everything you've ever wanted or thought you could expect from a game, or perhaps because it changed your perspective on war or duty or family or any other lofty idea or aspect of life. The most important thing here (I think) is to simply put our appreciation for games on display. So there you go, now have at it gentlemen.
