283rd played so far Genre: Action Platform: Game Boy Advance Year of Release: 2004 Developer: Nintendo SPD/Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo Holding the cartridge for this game now, it’s clear why we had to import this from the US. Bigger than a normal GBA cartridge, the game has a chunky extension at one end that contains […]

280th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1985 Developer: Atari Games Publisher: Atari Games Regular readers may remember that this set of fifty games are all games I haven’t played before.

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.

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? Its pure insanity. The reason is simple: You’re a knight riding a flying ostrich, defeating other knights riding on buzzards. Player 2 if, they’re playing, rides a […]

272nd played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: PlayStation 2/Wii Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Clover Studio Publisher: Capcom Part of the reason this set of fifty games is restricted to games new to me, is to put some focus on me playing games that Peter already knows. ลkami, then, is a perfect game to play […]

271st played so far Genre: Action/Strategy Platform: PSP Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Marvelous Entertainment Publisher: Marvelous Entertainment/XSEED Games/Rising Star Games Some games just have an odd concept that leave you wondering, before you even boot the game, how it can work, with its basic concept being weird enough that you’re wondering where it goes […]

263rd played so far Genre: Action/Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Avalanche Studios Publisher: Eidos Interactive Some games seem to just pigeon hole themselves. An action sandbox game like Saints Row 2 (because, well, we’ve not yet played the original big name in the genre, GTA3 and beyond, yet), set on […]
