322nd played so far Genre: Action/Role-Playing Platform: PC Year of Release: 2002 Developer: Bethseda Publisher: Bethseda Sometimes we pick up a game for this blog just as a present to ourselves. Yes, part of the reason we’re delving into Morrowind today is that it’s a stop on the way to playing Peter’s preference, Oblivion, but […]

307th played so far Genre: Role-Playing Platform: Various Year of Release: 1987 Developer: The NetHack Dev Team I am writing this post slightly out of order, as this time I really want to make notes while we play the game. I’ve played Nethack before several times (it being one of the games whose source code […]

303rd played so far Genre: Action/Role-Playing Platform: Xbox 360/Playstation 3/PC Year of Release: 2010 Developer: Bioware Publisher: Electronic Arts Woo! Time for something else fun.

278th played so far Genre: Strategy/Role-Playing Platform: PC Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Irrational Games Publisher: Digital Jesters/Electronic Arts Time for some more insanity. Today’s installment, Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich, fits in with the recent rise of superhero movies, and plays with its stereotypes. Speechbubbles, comic book looks, hammy acting and over the […]

260th played so far Genre: Role-Playing Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Zoonami Publisher: Nintendo This is a game where you play a barber, giving haircuts to vegetables and fruit.

249th played so far Genre: Action/Role-Playing Platform: PSP Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Well, doesn’t that sound interesting? Aside from sounding like a bit of a Pokรฉmon rip-off, a game we’ll get to eventually that seems to have inspired many others, this also brings in another Japanese trope – vaguely appropriate sounding […]
