537th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: Various Year of Release: 1997 Developer: id Software Publisher: Activision Following in our travel through first-person shooters, Quake II is the next on the list.

536th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: Various Year of Release: 1993 Developer: LucasArts Publisher: LucasArts I’ll admit, playing Day of the Tentacle today was self-indulgence.

So when we started playing Metroid Prime, we did so using the Wii remastered […]
531th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Amiga/PC Year of Release: 1994 Developer: Sensible Software Publisher: Renegade/GT Interactive More football games, more sports, more of what I feel we’ve seen before.
