10 Best Bows And Arrows In Video Game History

7. Shadow Of The Colossus

Any game that lets us fire a bow while standing on a galloping horses back €“ and doesn€™t even tell us we can do it €“ is probably one of the best games ever. Shadow of the Colossus is most certainly that game. Good luck trying to take down that titan with a man-sized arrow. You don€™t bring a bow to a giant fight€ unless you€™ll do anything to bring your dead girlfriend back. Sorry, Wander. We didn€™t mean to be disrespectful, but you have to admit€ she's not the only girl on the planet and your bow is mostly decorative. Don€™t get us wrong, we love that you barely use it. That makes it so much more special when you do. We€™re usually too busy prancing around in open fields and climbing giants, but when we pull your bow out of nowhere the few times that we do, it€™s an empowering, impossible moment in the middle of an already preposterous battle. Less than half of the Colossi require arrows to take down, and it really is epic, aiming for that Achilles eye, sole and flesh sack. And remember the arm on Wander? Jeez, Kid. You can twang. We€™ll always remember the little things, like arrows still sticking out of a dead giant€™s body at the end of a fight.

Real Science Magazine called James' addiction to video games "sexually attractive." He also worked really hard and got really lucky in college and earned some awards for acting, improv and stand-up, but nobody cares about that out here in LA. So... He's starting over fresh, performing when He can. His profile picture features James as Serbian, vampire comic Dorde Mehailo with His anonymous Brother and Uncle at the Nerdmelt Showroom in West Hollywood. In James' spare time, he engages in acting, writing, athletics, hydration, hours of great pondering and generally wishing you'd like him.
