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.

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.

1018th played so far Genre: Life Simulation Platform: Various Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Maxis Publisher: Electronic Arts I don’t think I need to explain why The Sims 3 is my final life simulation game.

1017th played so far Genre: Action Platform: DS Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami We’ve had action games more recently than happened for other genres as we had some mixed genres to end stealth and edutainment with, and the variety of games meant that there was a lot of further choice anyway.

1016th played so far Genre: Music Platform: Various Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Harmonix Publisher: MTV Games It feels like the era of instrument games has come and gone – they were really big about a decade ago, as an excellent party game, but it feels like they faded into obscurity again.

1013th played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2009 Developer: Nintendo EAD Publisher: Nintendo When looking at the remaining sports game, I ended up looking at the various minigame collections as they suited me most.
