281st played so far Genre: Simulation Platform: Playstation 3 Year of Release: 2009 Developer: SCE London Studio/Playlogic Game Factory Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Virtual pet games seem to be one of those love and hate things for me.

279th played so far Genre: Action/Platform Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2002 Developer: Insomniac Games Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment America The systems of Sony seem littered with attempts at mascots.

275th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Atari Games Publisher: Atari Games Right, let’s get this straight. Yeah, the game is officially called 720°.

274th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1982 Developer: Williams Electronics Publisher: Williams Electronics The reason this game is (apparently) included in the list?
