553rd played so far Genre: Adventure/Fighting Platform: Playstation 2/XBox Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Rockstar Toronto Publisher: Rockstar Games The Warriors is a 1979 action movie starring… well, to be honest, I can’t say the names are that familiar to me. It’s a movie about street gangs and one’s attempt at dominance. This one was […]

544th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Playstation 3/Xbox 360 Year of Release: 2010 Developer: Rockstar San Diego Publisher: Rockstar Games Even before it appeared on this list, Peter had played this wild west Grand Theft Auto.

540th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2003 Developer: SCE San Diego Studio Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment I’ve been enjoying a number of action/adventures for the blog – the likes of Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted often being amusing (assuming combat is handled well).

536th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 1993 Developer: LucasArts Publisher: LucasArts I’ll admit, playing Day of the Tentacle today was self-indulgence. The special edition was released a few days earlier and I was really looking forward to experiencing it again. Although technically the sequel to Maniac Mansion, this game took […]

534th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Sega Publisher: Sega Going into this, I have seen Yakuza 2 listed as an open world action game – an eastern Grand Theft Auto, like Sleeping Dogs.

517th played so far Genre: Adventure/Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Playstation 3 Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Naughty Dog Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment I don’t know why I haven’t played Uncharted before.

503rd played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Sega Mega Drive Year of Release: 1993 Developer: Novotrade International Publisher: SEGA Ecco the Dolphin is a game that has been in my conciousness for some time – at first reading about games I didn’t think I’d ever get a chance to play, when it sounded amazing – […]

486th played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 1988 Developer: Peter Irvin/Jeremy Smith Publisher: Superior Software/Audiogenic When I hear of a videogame called Exile, my mind goes to the massive open world RPGs from Spiderweb Software. Today, that’s not actually true – Exile refers to an old adventure-ish game that I’ve only […]
