Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the different treatments and functions of death in video games. This started because of a stark disparity I observed between Prey and Bioshock. I'm going to include Halo as well, as a sort of baseline as it uses the traditional and ubiquitous checkpoint death mechanic.

The theme of time travel is very appealing. There are mixed beliefs about whether or not time travel is real. Albert Einstein believed it was possible and that we can only travel one direction in time. In the films La Jetee and 12 Monkey's the common theme is time travel.
