Weekend Debate: Gaming One-Liners To Remember

Great video games are generally remembered for a variety of different things – compelling gameplay, stunning visuals, stirring music, rock-hard bosses – take your pick. However, it’s rare that they stick in the mind for their dialogue.

For many games, dialogue is an afterthought often penned by developers for whom prose is not their primary talent. That said, in the same way that I might unconsciously drop one-liners from my favourite movies or TV shows into conversation, I also occasionally find myself whispering “Fresh blood is coming in” (remember that sinister gem, ISS fans?) whenever a substitution is made in a football game, or “What are ya selling?” (yep, Resi 4) when, say, I’m picking up some salami at the deli counter in Waitrose.

So, this weekend’s debate topic:

“What’s your favourite line of video game dialogue?”
