How well do you STILL know video game plots?
Back in March of 2012 we went over a handful of video game plots to see how you would do placing them with their games. Well, now we're doing it again!
1.) An evil emperor has taken over an alien world. He rules his subjects with an iron fist, but one of them escapes to Earth. There he meets a young boy who helps him free his home world in exchange for a little help on a quest of his own. They are aided by the alien's ability to shape shift upon eating specially flavored candies.
