How well do you know video game plots?

In recent episodes of Stuff Weekly! and Terrible Awful Show we have discussed how video game plots can be kinda silly from time to time. Some games only really explained their plots in instruction manuals! So...how well did you pay attention to the story being told to you? Let us find out!





1.) Our main character is on his/her way to a much deserved vacation soaking up the sun on the beach...however when the hero/heroine and friends arrive they are greeted with a disgusting mess that the hero/heroine is being blamed with. Vacation soon becomes a lot of work and to top it off the friends are quickly kidnapped.

2.) A power crazy villain is pissy that he keeps losing all the time so he decides to have his cronies revive his dead wife...because that will allow him to cross into another dimension for some reason. However when the wife is revived, it merges the two primary dimensions into one and kills most of the souls in them. So the villain sends his cronies to kill the remaining goodies and thus the goodies must return things back to normal.

Yeah, apparently he's a dream.
