One game I just played and lost by one point, the computer play Visara the Dreadful, Castle Raptors and Kokusho, the Evening Star, Haunted Angel. All those creatures are killers, and although I did lose, I was smiling the whole time. I won one game against the computer, but he killed me the other two, but it was still great!!! I believe the best videogames provide the most “wow moments.”
I started Forge, which is an open-source, free project that lets you play Magic: The Gathering against the computer. Currently other people are updating Forge and there will be no more posts to this blog.

Wow Moments
The best parts of a video game are the “wow moments” that you remember long after. I remember winning a Need for Speed race by 0.01 seconds, at it was awesome. My video game provides many of these great moments. When the computer play Rorix Bladewing, that surprises you, and it is a huge threat that you have to take care of. Sometimes you can kill it off, and sometimes you can’t, but you always can that rush of “I’ve got to kill this huge creature or I’ll die flaming death.”
I've got to agree. Moments like that stay in your mind for a long while. It's been a while since I've had one, but the one that I remember the most happened the same as yours. GT2 (I think it was 2), I was going for my license for the umpteenth time and finally I beat it, by 0.001 seconds! I still have it saved on my memory card. ;)
