502nd played so far Genre: Management Simulation Platform: PC Year of Release: 2004 Developer: Frontier Developments Publisher: Atari We love our management simulations. There’s something simply enjoyable about games without violence or rapid action, just trying to keep things running, improving and expanding where you can. We also still enjoy our theme parks (when we […]

501st played so far Genre: Puzzle/Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2008 Developer: RedLynx Publisher: Nokia Now here’s a catch. I’ve mentioned before that Reset Generation is the impossible game for any sane person. Available as online and N-Gage game only, the online version was pulled within a year of us starting the blog, while […]
494th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: PC Year of Release: 1989 Developer: Microsoft Publisher: Microsoft Minesweeper! Until recently a game that anyone with a Windows machine would have played, now removed with Windows 8 and Windows 10 updates. We’ve played enough of it that it was a game we had to cover at some […]

493th played so far Genre: Racing Platform: PC/Xbox 360/Playstation 3 Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Codemasters Publisher: Codemasters I want to like racing games. They can be impossible to start or difficult to progress in, but when they allow you to drive and do it well, they can feel magnificent. Thanks to family influence, rally […]

489th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo One of the nice things of DS games is that we can put them on while watching some TV in the background, not needing full attention. It feels like a blessing here – with Japanese strategy/RPGish games, it […]

488th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Introversion Software Publisher: Introversion Software We’ve played a few of Introversion’s games before – Darwinia was fun if a bit strange, while Uplink was an early fun discovery for us while doing the blog.

482nd played so far Genre: Flight Simulator/Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: PC Year of Release: 2000 Developer: Zipper Interactive Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios For my birthday I got a proper, fully featured joystick, one of those gaming implements I still needed. Being a busy bee, however, I haven’t really had a chance to actually play a […]

480th played so far Genre: Platform/Puzzle Platform: PC/Playstation 3 Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Frozenbyte Publisher: Nobilis Trine is a puzzle platformer. The main draw comes from the way three characters interact, each with different abilities and options. Sounds like The Lost Vikings, except, apparently, with less babysitting as you only have one on the […]

475th played so far Genre: First Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Crytek Frankfurt Publisher: Electronic Arts I’ll be honest, I don’t have that much affinity with Crysis. I’ve obviously seen it on lists before and come across it, but it never really struck a chord with me. Reading about it, it […]
