Game: Degrassi

Ah, Degrassi. For three decades the show has managed to capture the essence of that most dramatic of life's stages: high school. While we've been content to simply watch the drama unfold in the fictional Toronto high school up until now, the simply titled Degrassi visual novel lets you get involved. Though the first episode is relatively short, the writing is sharp and it practically forces you to replay it several times in order to see everything.
