910th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: Xbox 360 Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Bungie Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios It feels weirdly apt to cover an older Halo game now, as the anniversary edition has been recently released as I type this.

881st played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 2004 Developer: Crytek Publisher: Ubisoft I’ve really played this series out of order.

853rd played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 2002 Developer: 2015, Inc.

817th played so far Genre: First-Person Shooter Platform: PC Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Splash Damage Publisher: Activision There’s something nice, for me, about playing the occasional free game – it’s pretty helpful for my wallet, if nothing else.
