When I was writing my post on Hero characters, I strongly considered SotC because I also felt it sketched a compelling tragic protagonist. And most amazingly, it does this almost completely visually with very little explanatory dialogue. Great stuff. Great post!

I didn't play Shadow, but I have played other games where the character begins to wonder what s/he is doing; Fahrenheit is a game in which you play both sides, the bad guy and the good guy, and they end up realizing there's something more going on. On one hand, the cop wants to catch the killer; on the other, she realizes something different is going on and she wants more than just career success (her life is very empty). Anyway, ramble aside, great post :) I really love this blog, thanks for linking us (GDG) so I could stumble upon here.
