311th played so far Genre: Maze Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1980 Developer: Namco Publisher: Midway Pac-Man is probably one of the most recognised gaming characters out there – in fact, he probably is the most recognised out of all of them. His simple shape and early mascot status seems to make this all but […]

310th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: Mega Drive Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Sonic Team Publisher: Sega Wow. Back to Sonic already. Despite its status as big mascot, rivaling Mario at one time, only three games are listed, in contrast with Mario’s… well, lots. Not surprising considering the massive fall from grace the Sonic […]

309th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: XBox/PS2/Gamecube Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Free Radical Design Publisher: EA Games It has been a while since we previously covered TimeSplitters 2, a shame considering it’s one of Peter’s favourite FPS series.

306th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: Various Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Geoff Crammond Publisher: Firebird The book describes this game as “chess with added paranoia”. To be honest, I’ve never heard of this game before the blog and keep forgetting about it afterwards. It’s vague enough that today, we have no clue what […]

305th played so far Genre: Survival Horror Platform: Various Year of Release: 1998 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom The Resident Evil series is one that keeps haunting us.

304th played so far Genre: Music Platform: Playstation 3 Year of Release: 2007 Developer: London Studio Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe It’s been a while since we’ve done a proper ‘make music’ music game.
