249th played so far Genre: Action/Role-Playing Platform: PSP Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Well, doesn’t that sound interesting?

248th played so far Genre: Action/Role-Playing Platform: Xbox 360/PS3 Year of Release: 2008 Developer: The Behemoth Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios/Sony Computer Entertainment There’s something fun about side-scrolling beat-em-ups. They’re straight forward, fun bashing which feels like you progress easily as you figure out the (usually easy) combos. They make for good multiplayer as you work […]

243rd played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Various Year of Release: 2008 Developer: PAM Development Publisher: 2K Sports To be honest, I’m not sure whether I’m entirely qualified to participate in today’s write-up, for similar reasons as why I felt my input on Sega Rally Championship were ‘invaluable’. Peter’s mother is a big fan (tennis […]

224th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: Internet Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Colin Northway Publisher: inXile Entertainment Today a short one. While waiting for Everquest to download (who’d imagine that a 13 year old game would require a 7GB+ download? At least  it’s not Aion… that took all day to get) we searched for […]
