Final Fantasy 7
You would have been mad at me had I not started with Final Fantasy. But what exactly are we looking at? It looks like Stonehenge! Stonehenge with a built in water display. So what does it mean? It means games like Final Fantasy don't need to explain themselves...move along!
Silent Hill Homecoming
Oh good, more ancient markings. Silent Hill Homecoming (dance) has the main character staring at a creepy symbol on the wall to save his game. Why creepy? Can't you read scrysrit (the writing on the symbol)? It says "You put your left foot in, you take your left foot out, you put your left foot in and...I watch ye whilst ye slumber".
Metal Gear Solid
Ah, Mei Ling. I never thought a save point would be so....cute. Simply call up Mei Ling on your Codec and you can save your game, just by having a conversation with her! Mei Ling is another point for the Asians. What I mean by this is they've already got the "Asians are smarter than Americans" stereotype, and now they've got the "just talk to them and you'll save your game" stereotype. So talk to someone Asian as often as you can, just in case you die.
Dead Rising (top) and No More Heroes (Bottom)
Toliet Save points? I don't know about you, but there is NOTHING I want to save when I go to the bathroom. For these two gents (Frank West and Travis Touchdown) its the place to be. I can see them starting up a company:
Frank and Travis plumbing company "Think of the Savings!"
(That was a bit too clever...sorry)
Donkey Kong Country
A star spangled barrel displayed by a "sexy" "female" "gorilla" (yes all of those quotations were needed). Honestly, nothing would draw me close enough, to what I just described, to save even a millisecond of my game. "Oh I just died? Oh, game over? That sucks! Oh, well. At least I didn't have to see some half woman half gorilla creature, who would then lock me in a barrel designed by Elton John"
Resident Evil
Yeah, I know you were waiting for me to get to this one: the typewriter save point from the Resident Evil Series. I wish it were that easy to save progress in my life. But this raises the question, "what if you misspell?" Does that mean your life changes? That's pretty hardcore.
"Kissed some zombies"...I MEAN KILLED! Damn it, I already typed that in. Stupid ancient technology with its no backspace...

There's plenty more save points out there, are there any more that made you scratch your noggin?
