Tell Us Dammit: If You Could Play It All Over Again

Imagine this: you are able to totally forget one video game — in its entirety — completely wipe it from your memory, just so you can play it all over again, completely fresh. Which game do you choose and why?

There are so many contenders for me. Some of my all time favourite games like Metroid Prime, Metal Gear Solid 3, A Link to the Past… but I wonder if their impact would be lost given that these games are a bit older now. Thinking about it rationally it would probably make sense for that game to be something either relatively new, or something completely timeless.

So there’s Dark Souls I suppose? The original. Or maybe Super Mario Galaxy? I think those would probably both be extremely good choices, given that they’re both among my favourites of this generation. By that reasoning, Red Dead Redemption is another.

The wild card for me would probably be The Secret of Monkey Island, mainly because I love that game so much and have played it over and over again. But losing the memories of playing that game? It would be like ripping a part of my childhood from my psyche. It would probably have profound, weird effects on me as a person!

What game would you choose?
