1016th played so far Genre: Music Platform: Various Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Harmonix Publisher: MTV Games It feels like the era of instrument games has come and gone – they were really big about a decade ago, as an excellent party game, but it feels like they faded into obscurity again.

1011th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Hudson Soft/Blue Planet Software Publisher: Hudson Soft/Tetris Online Inc/Nintendo I don’t think it’s controversial to say that Tetris is one of the most successful games of all time. It’s the second-best selling video game franchise of all time – and that comes […]

1009th played so far Genre: Fighting Platform: Various Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Dimps/Capcom Publisher: Capcom It feels right to finish the list of fighting games with a Street Fighter game. Not because I would say it’s my preferred series (in the end Smash Bros connects more with me) but because it really popularized the […]

986th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: PC?Internet/Nintendo DS Year of Release: 2008 Developer: PopCap Games Publisher: PopCap Games A decade later, it’s hard not to feel that Bejeweled lost out after Candy Crush Saga created a large list of match three games to fight for everyone’s attention on phones. There have been a lot […]

974th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Crystal Dynamics Publisher: Eidos Interactive It’s hard not to feel that the Tomb Raider franchise has been overtaken. They are still decently well regarded, but after the most recent entries it seems like the series has lost it a bit. It doesn’t […]

966th played so far Genre: Fighting Platform: Playstation 3/Xbox 360 Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Project Soul Publisher: Namco Bandai Game I had a bit of a discussion on what fighting game to leave until last, and between SoulCalibur and Street Fighter, the latter seemed more appropriate – even more when you consider our first […]

961st played so far Genre: Adventure/Fighting Platform: Xbox 360 Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Team Ninja Publisher: Microsoft One of the stranger and more frustrating features of the list are the near-duplicate games. I feel I have only played a single Ninja Gaiden game, but did it twice because of the Ninja Gaiden Black upgrade […]

956th played so far Genre: Action/Fighting Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Sora Ltd. Publisher: Nintendo I believe Super Smash Bros Ultimate, the currently latest in the series, hadn’t been released the last time I played a Super Smash Bros. game. I sunk a fair amount of time into that – not as much […]
