What would an action story be without heroics? What would victory be without sacrifice? The worlds created in videogames are rarely button-bright affairs; often they’re dark and war-torn, shattered by conflict or terror. Yet into these dark realms, heroes must stride, whether to rid the world of evil or save it from some horrendous end. The stars themselves are tyrannous, Fate is cruel and callous and, sometimes, not everyone makes it out alive.
Today we pay tribute to the fallen, without whose bravery Humanity would be far worse off.
