Spoiled It!: 5 Games That Would Have Been Better With Spoilers Up Front
Spoilers: Those games are Red Dead Redemption, Braid, Spec Ops: The Line, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Heavy Rain. Whoops!

Thomsen takes aim at some critical darlings, suggesting that their major plot twists could have been better utilized at the outset of the game rather than the denouement. It’s sure to rile some people up, but Thomsen’s arguments are concise. He even offers up some ways to integrate the plot twist earlier in the game.
So, good article. But there are seriously spoilers, so if you still haven’t bested any of the aforementioned games, you may want to hold out reading.
