On Valentine's Day the media traditionally drops its air of clinical reserve and prostitutes itself to the card industry with vaguely romance themed comedy stories, images and interviews. Already this morning I've witnessed the GMTV weather girl standing on a giant heart in the middle of a crowd of people looking to get their wedding vows confirmed at 6.58 in the morning on live TV. Over on the BBC they tried to be more serious with a story about how our demand for fresh cut flowers is having catastrophic effects on the environment. Sadly, I lost interest before I found out why. There's also a picture of two elephants forming their trunks into a love heart in The Mirror...
Anyway, Gamesblog is not immune to the hysteria - so here's a question for you: which videogame character have you formed an inappropriate fondness for? Is there one polygonal prince/princess who you would gladly send a Valentine card to if it were not for the insurmountable barrier thrown up by their lack of actual existence?
Well, swallow your pride, take a deep breath and share. I'll go for Soul Calibur's Olympian beauty Sophitia Alexandra or ghost-busting college student Miku Hinasaki from Project Zero... already I feel I've said too much...
