522th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1982 Developer: Irem Publisher: Irem Moon Patrol is a name that evokes plenty of options. If it was a survival horror, we’d be crawling around tense tunnels. In other shooters we might be running over the surface. When in the 80s, an action arcade […]

521st played so far Genre: Action/Fighting Platform: Playstation 2 Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom We’ve covered Devil May Cry before.

520th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: Gamecube Year of Release: 2002 Developer: Nintendo EAD Publisher: Nintendo Somehow, Super Mario Sunshine is the mian series Mario game I’ve seen least of so far.

517th played so far Genre: Adventure/Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Playstation 3 Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Naughty Dog Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment I don’t know why I haven’t played Uncharted before.
