Anglo-Saxon Comparison

How do the heroes of Ango-Saxons compare to the heroes of today's video game industry?

As each of us have grown up, we have always witnessed that the "good guy" always wins. This was not only in our time, but began years ago with a group of people; the anglo-saxons.
G-man and Beowulf were epic heros that valued the same belief system. They battled to the end in order to achieve what they thought was right. These two heroes were prime examples for modern day video games/movies, and provided us with the statement, "the good shall always prevail."
In this day and age, ourselves along with our peers and even parents have grown up watching movies in which good vs. evil will battle and by the end, good always prevails. This doesn't simply apply to movies, it also applies to video games as well. Children and teens in my generation are obsessed with the video game genre. Many sit hours upon hours developing strategies and codes to "win" these games. As the "good guy" your player is trying to defeat the obvious villian, and through your actions it will be done. Missions continue, and if all lives are lost, there's always the chance to begin again with a new game; all in hopes of battling and defeating the "bad guy".
I don't play video games much myself, my extent is Tetris, so I'm not up-to-date on how to control/play video games. Yet, I know enough about them to realize the main points. This plot "good vs. evil" will forever be the main stage for video games and movies alike for generations to come. The Anglo-Saxons set the stage for all stories from their time to now.
