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.

921st played so far Genre: Stealth Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: IO Interactive Publisher: Eidos Interactive I have had a difficult time with Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.

804th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 1997 Developer: Bungie Publisher: Bungie/Eidos Interactive Next on the list of games I’ve played before, the 3D elements of Myth: The Fallen Lords made it memorable to me.

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 […]
