When they discovered planet Nexus, both factions have to brawl their way through each other in order to claim the planet as their home. In Guild Wars 2, a player comes across a group called Destiny’s Edge, a council group of the five races in the game. The ultimate goal of the council is to bring about the new faces of Tyria to fight against the Undead, and to take down their master, the elder dragon Zhaitan.

    The Odyssey is a thrilling adventure that turns out to have more in common with Cold Mountain than you would think, considering The Odyssey was written centuries before Cold Mountain was ever thought of. The similarities are drenched throughout the novels, overlapping in plot formation, main events, and in character interactions. The plot in both novels are nearly identical when you look at how each of the main characters are on a journey, both books are stuffed with obstacles, and each have their own hero and some form of a secondary hero. They could even be considered epics, and they would be if it was not for the fact that Cold Mountain didn't have unworldly forces acting on the plot, and simply because the fact that it was not written…

In the essay “Dream machines,” Will Wright keys in on the point of video games and how they benefit the culture. He argues that video games are only viewed in a negative light by society due to the assumption by elders that “they’re violent, addictive, childish, and worthless” (Wright 211).

    Video games are arguably even less associated with storytelling than comics are, with some critics believing “that the video-game form is incompatible with traditional concepts of narrative” (Bissel, 93). Where the medium truly excels, however, is with its capacity for immersion. Like how the addition of sound allowed filmgoers to not just watch the action but hear it, “Every new medium that has been invented … has increased the transporting power of narrative” (Rose, 36). Where readers of books and viewers of movies are passive, gamers take an active role in their narratives. In games like Mass Effect this means making key decisions that affect the development of the plot, but in games like Naughty Dog’s Uncharted and The Last of Us, this…
