Cool factor-“Best role-playing game of 2013” -The story, with the time-traveling and idea that future is not fixed. -The visual is astonishing, with three different styles.

Fighting styleAnime style

Computer style

My favourite sceneThe confession of “Marth” aka Lucina, to Chrom, her father, about what the future hold for them. It’s a beautiful scene, and a really sad one, from a young woman who never knew her father, and is ready to sacrifice herself for him.

Chrom listens carefully his daughter

Gameplay-The third episode of the Bioshock franchise, acting as a prequel -Reuses the main mechanics of its brothers, a mix between using guns and super-powers. -New gameplay element, Elizabeth super-power, creating portals.

Cool Factor-Mind-blowing story, mixed with time and space traveling, and multi-Univers paradoxes. -Packed with action and bloody-violence, but never seems force into the story.

The lighthouses paradoxes-zone

My favourite sceneWhile hiding from the army, Elizabeth and Booker ended up in a cellar, where a young boy is hiding under the stairs. To reassuring him, Elizabeth start to sing “Will the circle be unbroken”, and Booker grab the guitar, making for one amazing song, one of my favourite of all time.

I don’t have a favourite scene in that video game, as I love it from start to finish. Of course, I mostly like Ellie’s scenes, and I also like the DLC, and I can’t wait to see what the movie is going to bring to the table.

Finally out of Boston at the beginning of the game

This list will probably change in a few months with the release of Super

Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U.
