10 Most Devastating Video Game Deaths Since 2000

7. Naia - Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons

The idea of originality is getting rarer and rarer these days, especially when the industry are more up for releasing yet another template-driven Assassin's Creed into the world, rather than double-down on some innovate ideas or an original characters that might usher in a wave of burgeoning brilliance.
