Have you ever been playing a video game, minding your own business, when something so awesome happens that you want to tell everyone you know about it? But then you come to find that no one gives a shit? Well, we feel your pain, and as a result, we have compiled this list of ten of the most awesome things that ever happened in a video game. Feel free to peruse the list an take solace in the fact that there are, in fact, other people that are nearly as nerdy as you are!
10. NBA Jam Tournament Edition– Play as Bill/Hillary Clinton, George Clinton, Al Gore, Prince Charles, the Beastie Boys, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince
Bill "The Thrill" Clinton taking it to the proverbial hole yet again.
Never before and never again since has there been a secret character list that includes a cast as diverse as the President, Vice President and First Lady of the United States, George “P Funk Clinton”, and the GD Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. While playing as these characters doesn’t dramatically change the overall experience, there is a certain surreal quality to seeing Hillary Clinton perform a windmill slam-dunk from the free-throw line in DJ Jazzy Jeff’s face while Al Gore sets the pick on Will Smith.
9. Resident Evil 2 – Alternate play-through
I would rather eat a glass bottle of tobacco juice than enter a town full of zombies.
Resident Evil games are known for their secret weapons and characters, but perhaps the coolest secret ever in an RE game has to do with the alternate play-through in Resident Evil 2. After completing the game as either Claire or Leon, you can then play a whole new scenario as the opposite character following in the footsteps of and occasionally crossing paths with your original character. This made for four totally unique gameplay experiences in an already awesome game, something that is still unprecedented today.
