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. Perhaps with less of an open world, but a similar mission structure and world […]

532nd played so far Genre: Role Playing/Strategy Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Nippon Ichi Software Publisher: Atlus/Koei I’m struggling to remember whether we’ve played a tactical RPG yet. I’ve played some before – Pokemon Conquest was an addiction in the house for a while – but aside from games in the region […]

529th played so far Genre: Role Playing Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Level-5 Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Somehow it feels like I haven’t played a JRPG in a while.

524th played so far Genre: Survival Horror Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Tecmo Publisher: Tecmo The Fatal Frame series is one we’ve been avoiding for a bit.

510th played so far Genre: Action Platform: PC/Playstation 2/X-Box Year of Release: 2004 Developer: Rockstar North Publisher: Rockstar Games It’s always nice to reach a Grand Theft Auto game, as it has always had a good core gameplay while the 3D games have slowly been hammering out some control issues – Grand Theft Auto Vice […]

492nd played so far Genre: Platform Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2001 Developer: Naughty Dog Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Today we get introduced to another 3D platforming hero. It feels like one more of many, with a bunch of companies trying to get their hero out there, but few really making it.ย  Still, it […]

The fifth sequel (apparently the best of the series) is quite […]
