1021st played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: Playstation 3/Xbox 360/PC Year of Release: 2013 Developer: Irrational Games Publisher: 2K Games It’s weird. I always assumed that I’d try to make the final game a bit of an event. Organize a playthrough with some people, do at least some of it in their presence. Instead, […]

1019th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Creative Assembly Publisher: Sega Even without the blog, I’ve been getting invested in the Total War franchise.

1012th played so far Genre: Management Simulation Platform: PC Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Maxis Publisher: EA Games I have held off on playing SimCity 4 for this moment.

1010th played so far Genre: Driving Platform: Playstation 1/PC Year of Release: 1999 Developer: Reflections Interactive Publisher: GT Interactive Software Sometimes I picked these final games based on them being a well known series or being important in another right.

996th played so far Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: PC Year of Release: 1999 Developer: Volition Publisher: Interplay Entertainment I covered Descent a little while ago as an odd blast from the past.

995th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC/Xbox 360 Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Gas Powered Games Publisher: THQ/Aspyr/505 Games Ever close to the end, today we’re closing the door on the RTS genre. While with a lot of other genres it wasn’t necessarily as special, I do count the RTS genre as one of […]

994th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: Amiga/Atari ST/PC Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Delphine Software International Publisher: Erbe Software/Interplay Productions/U.S. Gold As I wanted to make sure I left a LucasArts adventure until the end, today’s conventional point & click adventure is Cruise for a Corpse, an interesting take on the formula that focuses […]
