371st played so far Genre: Racing Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Sumo Digital Publisher: SEGA We really need to play more racing games. We enjoy the more ‘manic’ ones like Mario Kart, but have less of an affinity for more realistic games. Sort of enjoyable when we get into them, but not something […]

369th played so far Genre: Stealth Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Ubisoft Shanghai Publisher: Ubisoft When we think of stealth games the first thing that comes across out mind is Metal Gear Solid and the fact that very early in our blog we managed to cover five of them in pretty quick succession. […]

356th played so far Genre: Role-Playing Platform: PC/Xbox 360/PS3 Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Bethseda Game Studios Publisher: 2k Games/Bethseda Softworks Yeah, we played Morrowind fairly recently. To be honest, it was long overdue we played it and we just wanted to go ahead and play these – in part because Peter can’t play Morrowind […]

298th played so far Genre: Puzzle/Strategy Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Carbonated Games/Gameloft Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios/Gameloft For a long time, Uno was (possibly still is) the highest selling Xbox Live Arcade game. Yeah, that’s right, with all the options videogames afford us, it’s a virtual version of a board game that people […]

272nd played so far Genre: Action/Adventure Platform: PlayStation 2/Wii Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Clover Studio Publisher: Capcom Part of the reason this set of fifty games is restricted to games new to me, is to put some focus on me playing games that Peter already knows. Ōkami, then, is a perfect game to play […]

270th played so far Genre: First Person Shooter Platform: Playstation 2/Xbox Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Criterion Games Publisher: Electronic Arts Often, ‘by the makers of’ indicates an ongoing quality. A game in the same genre, by people who know the area and can do it well. Bioware, say, has a reputation for good RPGs and […]

263rd played so far Genre: Action/Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Various Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Avalanche Studios Publisher: Eidos Interactive Some games seem to just pigeon hole themselves. An action sandbox game like Saints Row 2 (because, well, we’ve not yet played the original big name in the genre, GTA3 and beyond, yet), set on […]

261st played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Stardock Publisher: Stardock We like 4X-strategy games, Civilization and its successors. I also like Sci-Fi. Galactic Civilizations II, which pretty much combines the two, sounds like a good game for that very reason. Despite possible appearance, this game has little in common […]

214th played so far Genre: Party Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Ubisoft Publisher: Ubisoft When we started, we figured we’d play the three party games as they’re supposed to be played – several people gathered around the TV, playing together, going against each other and having fun that way. That is, after all, […]

193rd played so far Genre: Action/Shoot ’em Up Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Konami Publisher: Konami For those of you keepin track, it’s been a while since we did a Wii game. Technically World of Goo was one, but it wasn’t a proper one… We didn’t even touch our Wii to play it. […]
