289th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC/PS3/XBox 360 Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Valve Corporation Publisher: Valve Corporation We recently played (well, nearly two years ago… how time flies, right?)

270th played so far Genre: First Person Shooter Platform: Playstation 2/Xbox Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Criterion Games Publisher: Electronic Arts Often, ‘by the makers of’ indicates an ongoing quality.

230th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Sony Online Entertainment Publisher: Sony Online Entertainment Here’s a novelty.

124th played so farGenre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 1999 Developer: Valve Publisher: Sierra If today’s entry seems short, it’s because a lot of this can reference Half-Life again. It is, you could say, the nature of this beast. Team Fortress Classic is a remake of Team Fortress, a mod for Quake.  It […]
