In my opinion, the final sequences of games tend to be some of the weakest parts. You've just finished an epic final battle, and then, more often than not, settle in to watch 20 minutes of a CGI movie that's nothing more than a cliffhanger designed to set up a sequel.
This isn't true of all games, though. This week, I want you to tell me about a game you thought did a great job in its final moments and why its ending was truly a satisfying conclusion to the game you just enjoyed.
To participate, just write a C Blog, title it "Endings: [Your Blog's Title]", and select the Bloggers Wanted Essay Response tag. Throughout the week, keep an eye on the blogs and get some discussions going with your fellow Dtoiders!

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

It would've been a great entry in "Locations", and the ending I found pretty great as well. Towards the final boss and onward contained some nice twists and I liked how everything got resolved.
Boo-urns. Guess I'll do Earthbound then.
