459th played so far Genre: Adventure/Platform Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Frontier Developments Publisher: Frontier Developments Just the look of this game draws me in.

458th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1983 Developer: Atari Publisher: Atari These isometric games don’t work well for me. I’m not sure why, but there’s a series of games like Crystal Castles (several of which are yet to come) that I just dread. The controls are awkward, the action simple […]

455th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 1988 Developer: Lucasfilm Games Publisher: Lucasfilm Games Time for another Lucasarts adventure! Although another early one, and the last pre-Monkey Island adventure. Happily so, as Maniac Mansion showed they didn’t seem quite as good. Zak McKracken‘s protagonist is a journalist… for a gossipy myth-chasing […]

454th played so far Genre: Fighting Platform: Playstation Year of Release: 1997 Developer: Namco Publisher: Namco Tekken is, I believe, one of Peter’s favourite fighting game series – he certainly always managed to tell me a lot about it. We played the first game some time ago, that time, too, playing from the Tekken 5 […]

453rd played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Game Boy Color Year of Release: 1999 Developer: Camelot Software Planning Publisher: Nintendo In general, we like Mario games – they are done well, whether it’s an RPG, a platformer or a racing game. A branch that we haven’t really covered are his (semi-)sports games. We’ve also covered […]
