402nd played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2004 Developer: The Creative Assembly Publisher: Activision Wow, has it already been 250 games since we played Medieval: Total War?

389th played so farGenre: Strategy Platform: Various Year of Release: 1995 Developer: Westwood Studios Publisher: Virgin Interactive, Sega, Nintendo, Electronic Arts Woo, Command & Conquer! Taking the gameplay found in Dune II, which turned out to be fun, Westwood continued to create another game like it, but now not using a licensed property. One of […]
#246 UFO: Enemy Unknown

375th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: Various Year of Release: 1993 Developer: Mythos Games/Microprose Publisher: Microprose Another ‘ancient memory’ game for me – like The Legend of Zelda a few days ago, another game where I remember playing with a friend, mostly looking over their shoulder as they proved superior with it. Recently remade […]

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?

351st played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PlayStation 3 Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Q-Games/Double Eleven Publisher: Q-Games/SCEA/SCEE For the first game of another fifty, we go back to another indie(-ish) title.

350th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 1998 Developer: Blizzard Entertainment Publisher: Blizzard Entertainment Here we are – another fifty games done!

340th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: Playstation 3/Xbox 360/DS Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Firaxis Games Publisher: 2k games And so we reach the final Civilization game (noooo) we’ll cover for the blog. A slightly odd installment, focused on a console and handheld release, rather than the PC versions that came before. I’ve played […]

338th played so farGenre: Strategy/Simulation Platform: PC Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Ironclad Games Publisher: Stardock I’ll be honest. There are certain games where, once I realise what they are, I look forward to playing, because I am fairly sure they’ll push the right buttons. Sins of a Solar Empire is a spiritual successor to […]
