Four Arms Are Better Than Two 3
That title is a little too on the nose for one of my lists. Shouldn't it be an awful pun, I hear you say? I know right? But I'm playing this list about four-armed characters in video games completely straight. Clearly something to be serious about.

Eponymous Blades 2
Xenoblade, Skyward Sword... I'm detecting a pattern in my recent gaming history here. It's no surprise when a game chooses to name itself after its signature weapon, since everyone thinks swords are neat. Though, as the recent MBMBaM (91) podcast exp
