Driving hundreds of miles to E3 without a pass, or a plan? Check. Dueling on a Game Boy with a total stranger in a Japanese arcade? Check. Playing X-Com for two days straight? Check. Sure, games haven't driven us to kill anyone, but they sure have gotten us GameSpot editors to do some wacky things.

X-Com: UFO Defence Intro
This is the intro video that plays at the beginning of my very favorite game of all time, X-COM: UFO Defence. It's an amazing classic of a game, and I love the comic-book art style of this clip.
