Video games are a medium filled with lousy stories, absurd scenarios and otherwise ridiculous plot points. That said, there are also some real gems out there. The sort that rise above the stupidity of their bretheren and prove that yes, gaming can be a real, honest-to-goodness medium for storytelling. Sadly, few can do this perfectly. Even in the best games there are those moments where you just have to sit back and wonder what they were thinking.

During Satoru Iwata's keynote at the 2009 Game Developer's Conference, the Nintendo CEO announced two new WiiWare titles: one that we already knew about, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, and one we didn't: My Life as a Darklord: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, the sequel to last year's My Life as a King. Also announced by Iwata is that the Final Fantasy series will make its way to the Virtual Console.
