508th played so far Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Xbox 360 Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Bizarre Creations Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios Some games seem to start small and grow big almost by standing out from where it came from.

456th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Big Huge Games Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios We loved Rise of Nations when we played it.

362nd played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2001 Developer: Ensemble Studios Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios This is a game played out of order – Age of Empires is the parent series under which Age of Mythology falls – but we’ve played other games out of sequence before, so who cares, right?

298th played so far Genre: Puzzle/Strategy Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Carbonated Games/Gameloft Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios/Gameloft For a long time, Uno was (possibly still is) the highest selling Xbox Live Arcade game.
