I've thought a lot about the passion that drives some games to be made. The "soul" behind it, if you will. It's hard to find in the wider gaming space, almost disheartening when stewing through the mountains of shlock motivated primarily by marketing and profit. But, sometimes, you find That kind of game. A game that gets you racing, unable to put it down, always excited for more. A game that holds an emotional depth that touches you deep in a way you'd never expect. A game that is so passionate, so inspired, and made by people who really cared and wanted to make something great, it lights a fire in your heart and inspires you like nothing else in the medium. A game that, in it's short runtime, feels like it was able to really, truly, honestly affect you. Gitaroo Man is That kind of game.
