Don't you just love great a plot twist? If you aren't adverse to having ten well-known games completely and utterly spoiled, click on the source link...

Spoilers? The very texture of the word as it issues from our lips induces shuddering fits and a craving for anti-bacterial soap.

A game's storyline is a sacred thing, like a chain fashioned from resplendent but delicate gold wire, and we'd sooner breakfast on our own toenail clippings than scout out all the big twists in advance.

At the same time, though, we're busy men. We have jobs to keep, daggnabit. Archery lessons to attend. Small animals to molest. Sleeping patterns to maintain. Jam to eat straight from the jar.

Are we to be deprived of a scriptwriter's strokes of brilliance simply because we can't find space in the diary for several hours of dramatic build-up?

Certainly not. And neither are you, gentle reader. Click on, if you dare, for our 10 favourite startling plot developments. While we're on: Vader is Luke's dad, Oedipus slept with his mum and Bruce Willis is dead.

(NB: The omission of Metal Gear Solid 2, a game composed entirely of twists, is deliberate.)

      Read their notes, they stated that MGS isn't there strictly because the series is comprised of nothing but twists.

    inFamous wins hands down in my book. It had the BIGGEST twist ever. I did not see that coming at all.
