The stories found in video games can be long and complicated, like a series of novels being played out in real time, or short and sweet, like a punch to the face of a dastardly street tough.

Whether classic or modern, with a story that changed your life or simply full of mind numbing button mashing fun, it's usually pretty easy to describe why we like our favorite games.
But coming up with a way to describe them in 140 characters or less without cheating might take a few playthroughs.
