20 Most Jaw-Dropping Games of 2012

8. Thirty Flights of Loving

DA740FA277EF61423CF3C3EB74C004214834CC03 Four playthroughs and I still can€™t tell you what Brendon Chung€™s Thirty Flights of Loving is about €” plot wise, anyway. Thematically, it€™s about love, loss, betrayal, freedom, all those great themes usually associated with literature. But Chung€™s games €” at least Thirty Flights of Loving and Gravity Bone €” feel like they have more in common with short stories than they do with what traditionally passes for a video game. I won€™t discuss the specifics of either game since to do so would possibly tarnish your first experience with them. Just trust me on this: play both of them. Gravity Bone is free; Thirty Flights of Loving is dirt cheap. I can almost guarantee you€™ll want to dive right back into Thirty Flights of Loving after your first play-through and figure out what the Hell just happened.
