Cave Story
~PC
Cave Story was released as freeware in 2004 on the PC, and later came out on the Wii Virtual Console. It was received very well for a 2D game released in a 3D world, partly for it's great storyline and partly for the great game play feel. Cave Story's popularity proves that video games do not need high definition graphics and crazy special effects to make a great game, no matter how many people try to argue that fact.
I loved almost everything about this game, from the simple yet effective upgrade system of your guns to the gravitational pull of your character (who I don't even think had a name). The towns and caves were so simple and beautiful; the artwork is definitely one of the many strong points of Cave Story. As should be expected, the farther you travel in the game, the farther it is between save points and healing points. By time you reach the final bosses, there are no save points in between battles, and there is a lot of strategy required to finish the game smoothly. Personally I spent a good couple hours trying to get through the final cave and finish off the last battle, but all in all I'd say it was definitely worth it. This is a game that anybody can get into!
