151st played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: PC Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Tale of Tales Publisher: Tale of Tales Now for something completely different.

After Peter’s picks yesterday, it’s now my turn to go through the games and pick my favourites. It seems like we’ve said this previously, but it’s felt we’ve hit our stride now. This past fifty games feel like the best set yet and we’ve enjoyed playing them. We’ve been having so much fun, it’s actually […]
So here we are again. 50 games in six months and it is time for our round-up so we have a chance to look back to reflect on what we have played. This time we are introducing a new category: Best Blast From The Past. Since we are both gamers there is a proportion of […]

150th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 1997 Developer: Bullfrog Publisher: Electronic Arts As we’ve mentioned before, for these landmark numbers for games we like to find a game that’s somewhat meaningful for us – we care about or such. For the 50’s Jeroen gets a ‘joy game’ whilst I take […]

149th played so far Genre: Fighting Platform: Various Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Arc System Works Publisher: Arc System Works (JP), Aksys Games (US), pQube (EU) I love fighting games.

#503 Medieval: Total War

148th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2002 Developer: The Creative Assembly Publisher: Activision Right, here’s another game that came up randomly, but happened to be a game in a series one of us already loved (this time, perhaps surprisingly, not me). The Total War series is a historical strategy series, […]
#380 Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus

147th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: PC Year of Release: 1998 Developer: Oddworld Inhabitants Publisher: GT Interactive Abe is adorable.

So yeah, as you can see we’re doing three games in one post – three arcade shoot ’em ups, in fact. Please allow me to explain. Today (as I’m writing this, that is), we were out in London for a private celebration and, having some time to spare, Peter suggested we’d visit the London Trocadero. […]
#713 Jeanne d’Arc

142nd played so far Genre: Strategy/Role-Playing Game Platform: Playstation Portable Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Level-5 Publisher: Sony Right, this is a bit unfair isn’t it. Not only does this game cross the generation line compared to Advance Wars but it also incorporated RPG elements into its turn-based strategy framework. Still Jeanne d’Arc is one […]
