Video games are a nostalgia-producing machine, and A Game In The Life breaks down over a dozen timeless titles to see what makes them so compelling years after release. Looking back at classic titles like Capcom's Mega Man 2 and Square Enix's Final Fantasy VI, in addition to more recent games like BioWare's Mass Effect 2 and FromSoftware's Dark Souls, Jordan Rudek shares his insights as an avid player, reviewer, and lover of all things video game. Intertwined with discussions and descriptions of these incredible digital works are a series of recollections and memories of the life moments Rudek experienced when he came upon these games. The result is an autobiographical dive into the times and events surrounding a collection of memorable video games, mixed with storytelling and a flair for the dramatic. Ultimately, A Game In The Life seeks to highlight how video games can have a lasting and profound effect on those who enjoy them, and how they can serve as miniature time capsules of the periods in our lives when they brought us so much joy.
