746th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Various Year of Release: 2009 Developer: EA Tiburon Publisher: Electronic Arts I’ve mentioned my general discomfort with sports games before, as a genre that I don’t get much out of.

738th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: Xbox 360 Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Q Entertainment Publisher: Microsoft Studios There are a bunch of games that take after Tetris and the Lumines series always seemed like a worthy one.
