EVERY GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!

I've been playing video games since I was a small boy, so this list is by no means complete. I started off on the computer with some educational games, before moving onto the Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox and now finally, Xbox 360. So if you see Freddi Fish or Putt Putt in there, I most likely played it when I was 5 - although I'd probably still enjoy it now...

As I've gone through this list I've found that my gaming really does split into two distinct categories. The first is the one where I simply played the game on my own, an innocent age, the age of computers, playstations and the original xbox. This is the age when I didn't always choose the game, but when I found something I enjoyed in it, no matter how bad. I was small and impressionable. Now is a different time. Now I play for achievements, for multiplayer, and I expect the best stories and graphics and features. If I don't, I return it. There's plenty to choose from and I'm not forced to find the joy in games I'm not 100% happy with. As such, I'm a little bit more impersonal with my games and don't have the nostalgic feelings I had with my earlier games. It's a double-edged sword - more variety and better games, but less enjoyment and less time taken to find the good qualities in everything.

In this list you'll find a brief description of my time with it. I'll try to get everything in alphabetical order, but man, there's tonnes of games here!

Notable exclusions: Game demos, any I cannot remember or don't know the names of, games which are only vaguely considered games, and of course most non-console or computer-related game.

  • Got this with our computer. Pretty good graphics for the time, and as a twelve year old I enjoyed roaming around slicing and throttling people, but I really really could not play the game.

  • Bought this second hand mainly on my dad's beconing. Pretty fun, but not too much fun because it is the only golf game he has ever been better than me at. And his premise of always picking large-breasted female characters to play as was pretty two-dimensional. Still, a good example of an early golf game.

  • One of my favourite computer games of all time. I used to play the heck outta this game, combining all manner of creatures in my attempts to take over the world. Nothing quite like letting a young person's mind go wild combining the likes of orca and a lion or a porcupine and an ant. So many combinations! Such a good game!

  • Played this for all of a few minutes at my friend's slumber party (I think my one and only slumber party too!). I was the youngest there and all the older kids got a turn and I was forced to just sit and watch. In fact, I'm not too sure I even GOT a turn! But let's just say I did - I've probably blocked the memory out to save my innocence...

  • One of the best games I've never finished. Very beautiful, great combat, voice acting and environments, this is definitely one of my favourite games. Never got to finish it, but damn I wish I had. Very good story and I recommend everyone plays it! Even if it's just to tell me if dragon tattoo dude and his psychic chick friend hook up...

  • One of the best platformers I've ever played. I can't remember if I completed the game fully, but I remember the fun I had. Some challenging parts, but a great setting and story which I actually would be keen to replay some day.

  • Cheapy game that turned out to be way more awesome than I'd expected when my parents got it for me. It, looking back now, introduced me to two game features which I'd love so much later on in my gaming life: multiplayer and heavy unlocks. I only really had my dad to play with and friends, so the multiple bots that filled in matches really made it feel like you were playing with other people. And of course, the more you played, the more you unlocked. Let's just say now I'm a gamerscore whore and this was an early warning sign!

  • Got this on the cheap off the internet. Played it for like a day or two. Got up to like the tree boss after spending an eternity slaying orcs on horseback, and then gave up. Game definitely isn't the best, but as a console opener, it's not bad I guess.

  • Family fun for everyone! My first interaction with the Kinect sensor. Seriously gets a sweat up and the game really does respond well to you. Too bad our lounge is too small (resulting in sometimes hilarious and painful collisions) because it's a shame not being able to use the game's awesome engine perfectly like it should be.

  • Bowling and table tennis sucks a tad, but Track and Field, Soccer and boxing really make this game shine! Mainly track and field - I'm a beast on the hurdles track! And best of all? It gets you sweating all those loose calories out. Fun and exercise? WIN!

  • One of my favourite games of all time and the ONLY game I have ever cried over. I mean, that sad piano tune right at the end with you not knowing how this amazing adventure you've been on is going to end? Yeah, I cried... The game is simply amazing though - tricky but so much fun and it really gets you involved. If the sequel wasn't so bad, I'd probably still be playing the series. By the end I think I had played for over 72 hours total, which besides Burnout 3: Takedown, Oblivion and a select few other games, is probably the longest I've ever spent on a campaign.

  • Started playing this after it just came out. Was so excited as the first game was so incredible, but after playing it, I was very, very, VERY disappointed. Just too many bells and whistles and not enough challenge like in the first game. Hardly played it after that. Sigh.

  • Forget Dead Rising (piece of f**king sh*t!) and come on in Left 4 Dead! I think this is THE zombie game of all time. It's just so awesome! It really does bring some reality to the genre and some great game play. The boomer burps alone make the game.

  • Technically it's supposed to be better than the first game. It has more zombies, hindsight, better graphics, better control, more stuff to do - and yet just like how I felt with Gears of War/Gears of War 2, it just wasn't. All the extra bells and whistles just didn't beat the simplicity and originality of the first game in my opinion. I did like the level layouts more, and even some of the characters more (Bill and Francis were so annoying), but overall, I still love the first game. It might be because I can't even connect to the multiplayer (a problem a lot of my friends in my country have with this game), but maybe it's not.

  • Had bought this for my little cousins, but when I never saw them again, I decided to play it for myself before I resold it. Only played the first few levels, and although it was a little bit repetitive, it was generally fun! Never quite looked at my LEGO collection in the same way again!

  • Hired this out once as a kid. I loved lemmings but was never any good at it, especially when it got to those levels where you had to be really fast. Normally, all mine would just end up falling to their untimely doom...

  • I really love this game. So f*cking frustrating in some parts, amazing in others, and sad at the end. A truly great game. I'm loving this new breed of arcade coming through with simple yet challenging gameplay and awesome graphics and themes. Good luck in Heaven little silhouette boy...

  • The forever game. Seems to take... forever. Excellent graphics (at least for the time), great story and locations, and a really new, fresh take on the sci-fi shooter. Probably one of the most influential games in the genre and a joy to play. But gadamm, so much reading. If you're like me and love reading every line of glossary text in games, beware.

  • Pretty sure this was my first shooter ever. From what I remember, it was fun too! I played the first level over and over, sniping Nazis in their domes and running through demolished France. I just am astonished that I liked this game - it was probably pretty bad. At least compared to modern shooters. Can't remember if I ever finished it though.

  • One of my all-time favourite games! So amazingly unique and quirky. Dark humour and cool monsters abound and the puzzle/combat/setting wonders astound. Heh, that rhymes. Got stuck in the maze level (but used cheats to progress further) but I'm still tempted ever so often to dive back into the game and search around what is a childhood reverie for me.

  • Lacked a tiny bit of the charm of the original game, but still delivered on the gameplay and quirkiness. Again, didn't get through all of the campaign with this, but it had dinosaurs. 'Nuff said ammirite?

  • I remember playing this game after I hired it, getting stuck on the first level and never doing anything else with it. Oh you 90's movie-video games and your insanely hard first levels.

  • Reminds me of Half-Life 2 a bit. The combat is annoying and it gets my heart pumping a bit too much for my liking, but the game is solid and fresh. The graphics aren't like anything else I've seen so it's gotta be doing something right!

  • Got this soon after it came out and started off loving it. Campaign a bit short but it gave an even more intense feeling of war than before. Multiplayer sucked the joy out of it for me. Too many glitchers and too much anger - ended up throwing the game in the bin literally before fishing it out a few days later.

  • Team Fortress if it was taken over by American interests. A seriously fun game, even if I can't play it like a Pro yet. Colourful, funny and addictive. Recommend!

  • My dad got this. Boring. Rubbish graphics. Terrible gameplay. But I guess it was okay for the time. Burnout Paradise's bikes make this game look like tiddlywinks though.

  • Was always watching my mum play when I was a little kid and would wonder what all those clues meant. She'd let me play on my own, probably knowing I'd never piece any of it together, and I vividly remember walking around, clicking on random things and then sitting in the observatory clicking to random star maps. And then never playing it again. Sad face.

  • Probably the best driving game I've ever played. The racing and career was shite, but for the time, the cop chases and open world driving was second to none. Even now it's pretty good. Even my mum got in on the action, breaking out some caps for the po-po pigs.

  • Nowhere near as good as Most Wanted. The driving handles a tiny bit better, but overall, the cop chases and gameplay are far inferior to the previous game. And the acting... ungh!

  • Much like Age of Mythology, my experience with this game was pretty much loading the title screen and then watching as it froze and I'd have to reboot my system. However, I did go a bit further this time, and into the world builder. This was at a time before I knew how to work the foundry on Halo 3 or make maps like on Civilization III, because all I could seem to do was place weird looking bears and burning effects on a huge map. Because let's face it, when you're a kid and want to build a game and the computer asks you "What size map canvas would you like?", has anyone ever answered anything other than enormous or huge?

  • Got this game with my Wii. I. Hate. Mario. First level? Okay. After that? Too hard, do not like. I honestly hate those stupid types of side scrolling POS skill games. The only good thing I got out of it was the whole "Super Mario Time" catchphrase which I now use excessively every time I heard a jingling sound in the real world.

  • Eeeoooeooooeooooeooooeoooooooo....! Between the chanting, farting and "follow me" this was a classic game that will always remain close to my heart. Bought it early on in my gamer life, along with Crash Bandicoot, and although I was never a pro at it, it was certainly fun. Original and highly funny, I'll always remember this game! Especially when you took over the body of a Squig. Or whatever it was...

  • Didn't play this as much as Abe's Oddysee, but from what I remember, still a great game.

  • My dad liked this golf game for the boobies. I didn't like it at all. Average golfing game.

  • The most addictive game of all time! Probably my most favourite arcade game, behind Worms, too. It has unicorns, gravity-fueled games and insane music at the end of every level - exactly what every game needs! And surprisingly, the multiplayer online is awesome too! I clocked the game mostly in 2 days. I was up to like 6am. It's THAT addictive.

  • Braaaiiinnnnnsssss! By all rights it should be terrible. It sounds ludicrous. You're basically placing plants on a lawn to stop shuffling zombies. But it's not. PvZ (as they call it in the hood) is far from bad. It's addictive and awesome. Nothing will bring more joy to your eye than seeing lob after lob of corn and peas spew out at a horde of deadly zombies, watching their heads pop off with great effect. I've easily sunk a good day into this game already and until I'm satisfied all my lawns are protected from the undead, I'm sure a few more days will be lined up in the future.

  • I was never allowed to collect or play Pokemon games when I was younger. I'd sneak game sessions at friend's houses or on store testers, but my main playtime was at the church group's meeting nights where my parents would drag me along to their meetings. Which would mean I'd be set up in a room with a computer and be allowed to play "educational" games. Or as I it knew once they left the room, Pokemon! At least until my parents found out and I wasn't allowed to play it any more.

  • A cute little game which inevitably ended up in violent arguments when playing with my mother in versus mode. Lots of mini-game variations to choose from and of course, my favourite level was the one with penguins shooting balls out their arses.

  • Probably my first God-game. Time sensitive, so very hard for a young 'un like I was, but still a pretty fun game with lots of charm. Still remember it fondly, even today.

  • One of the most original games I've ever played - up there with Shadow of the Colossus in terms of doing things differently. I can tell you one thing, it definitely got my brain working. Even though it is fairly separate from Half-life, it fits in well with the series. Best part? Falling endlessly through portals and walls. Lawls.

  • No other game has actually made me laugh out loud. Whoever decided Stephen Merchant should play a little robot in a video game was a pure genius. Combine his dry, hilarious humour with the sinister but totally lovable in-a-I-will-kill-you way, this game has to be the most humorous game of all time! In addition to the great new puzzles, the co-op and great graphics, this game is a serious contender to go down in legend.

  • Entirely enjoyable, and wholly frustrating at the same time. Let's face it, you want to speed along walls and jump like a monkey. But you don't want to spend 2 hours and 1 remote trying to beat the first true boss. And then never making it past the second. And I never would have made it past the first without cheats anyways. Only in the small Assassin Tomb sequences of the Assassin's Creed series do I get my fill for the high-climbing, ledge swinging, barrel-rolling joy I got from this game.

  • Poor characters, poor plot, poor graphics. But the free-flowing gameplay is breath-taking at times. Once you get into the groove and unlock all your abilities, dashing over high rises and plummeting onto crowds of civilians before devouring them, you really get a sense of how awesome it'd be to have super powers and possibly use them for evil. Or probably use them for evil.

  • One small step for car, one giant leap for car-kind! Okay, so I was so young I don't remember too much of this game. But a mother-f'ing car goes to the moooon. How cool is that?!

  • Aw! The one where he finds his little doggie friend in the cave and goes to join the parade! Yay! Ah, nostalgia... Used to play this, Buzz and Freddie Fish a super lot when I was young. Lots to do and see, got the brain working. Probably why I'm the smart awesome guy I am today... Hehehe...

  • This is definitely one of the best games I've ever played. There is simply so much to do! Hunting, trading, exploring, fighting, gambling, story missions, side missions, random missions! And that's just the single player! Multiplayer and the DLC expand the experience further, and really, the game is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is expansive. The voice acting and characters are believable and well done, and of course, who can resist a Western? Definitely one of my top games of all time. Except for Jack. I just hate him.

  • Scary? Not really. Friggin annoying to move around and shoot in? YES! Not a bad game, but the third person element coupled with the close quarter levels and quick enemies makes this a pain in the ass to enjoy sometimes.

  • Played this at a friend's house, liked it, bought it for myself. Pretty good gameplay, but did get tedious after a while thrashing some bunny team 60 points to 7.

  • Yess! I finally managed to find out the name of this game. It always made such an impression on me despite only playing it for a couple of days after hiring it out. Running around on foot through crazy levels - awesome. Shot to JohngPR for helping me remember!

  • Took me a while to realize the actual majesty of this game. At first I thought "Man! This is so stupid!" but then realized that the game was a real ground-breaker! Other than a few select games, this is probably the most unique game I've ever encountered and I honestly wish more games were like it. Taking on massive behemoths in ancient lands is too awesome. And even when you think there's no possible way to finally slay the monster, you happen to engage your brain (unlike in other games... I'm looking at you Call Of Duty) and figure it out.

  • Cyborg. Flood. Fire. Riot riot riot! Hurricane. Tsunami. Fire! Riot riot riot!! Bored.... These were my actions after burning myself out on painting my own buildings (poorly), setting up power lines (and failing) and trying to breathe life into my crumbling city (and failing again...). Great game.

  • All I remember from playing this game was creating a world, trying to populate it with dinosaurs, failing and then in anger unleashed tsunamis, hurricanes and disaster around the planet, as supreme gods of their own earth do.

  • Got my first taste of this at youth group as a young 'un and loved it (smoked the competition). Now older and wiser, I can wipe out most who dare approach me. That said, I DO give them the slightly dodgy microphone hehe...

  • My favourite SingStar, probably because my parents loved the 80's so pumped its' songs into my brain throughout most of my childhood. That aside, I'm actually pretty good at the old classics and the Sing Song (aka Ping Pong for singers) is so cool. Too bad it shreds your vocal cords after a while...

  • What good songs came out of the 90's?? Not many that I know apparently...

  • Knowing me, knowing you. Knowing how I'd have to play this game forever after I got it for my mum's birthday? Wish I had known! That said, I was pretty good. And who really doesn't know the words?

  • Another good SingStar. Some power ballads, some chart toppers. And of course the same several disappointing songs thrown in to ruin it all.

  • This WAS my first game ever. I think. Nope, I'm pretty sure. Back when my parents were in their mid twenties and still bought things like a Sega. This game probably brought out my first cases of gamer-rage too. I remember pushing those buttons and just not being able to grasp how to control Sonic and just getting annoyed enough for my mum to tell me to get off. Ahh, Sega. Flashback over.

  • Played this with my ex-best friend. I played as nightmare and whipped his ass the first game. Because he HAS NO LIFE (And you're a cunt if you're reading this) and all he does is sit in his horrible stupid room practicing his fighting games because he's a druggie loser, he got really annoyed and totally tried to beat me, which he did, because I'm not competitive and he's an asshole who SHOULD GO TAKE A KNIFE AND GO FUCK HIMSELF WITH IT BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST A PIECE OF SHIT WHO WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY AFTER I LEFT YOUR MISERABLE LIFE BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY GOOD INFLUENCE IN YOUR LIFE! HAVE FUN WITH YOUR ASSHOLE FATHER AND YOUR LOSER FRIENDS AT YOUR DEAD-END JOB CUNT FACE!!!! Yeah, I didn't like the game...

  • For only 160 Microsoft points, could I resist THE game which kicked off the arcade revolution? Nope. Pretty good. Can't get that blasted doughnut song outta my head, or the loose meat sammich? Frivolity aside, the game gets you thinking, 'sploding and generally enjoying the new fiendish levels and traps they employ. Can get very annoying or frustrating at times, but definitely a solid arcade game.

  • The game which created the meme "Nasty Gnorc" in my family for devilish behaviour. I remember the exact place and moment I got this game from my mum, and also the extreme anger I showed when I couldn't chase down those damn egg thieves. But regardless, this game is so nostalgic for me. It still just seems so huge, with all those hidden areas and secret places. Magical.

  • My favourite Spyro game by far. The music and characters are simply amazing. Not much else to say really. Simply amazing! I so want a real-life orb!

  • One of my fondest memories from this game is by far the sniper monkey. From that moment on, blasting heads off while kicking back the bananas, I've been addicted to sniping. Don't remember too much else about the game and never finished it (no where as good as the second game) so like Crash Bandicoot, this series went the way of the dinosaurs in my gaming life.

  • Watching Giant Bomb's retro Quick-Look on this made me cringe at how badly they were playing it. I used to be a shark at this game when I was younger, and really, it still holds up in the modern era. It's a fairly solid game and the amount you can do with it is just great! From boiling oil to attack dogs, to hunting and farming to fletching and barracks, the game really does stay true to the era and deliver a great game. Ah nostalgia...

  • Surprisingly good. And very funny. I bought this late in the original Xbox's life, right before we upgraded to the 360. Still, it got a lot of game-time. Best of all, the music was awesome! What's not to like about a game with spleen bombs, walking hands (ala Medievil stylez) and brain-eating? Was good to play the zombie for once, something not really seen again until Left 4 Dead multiplayer.

  • Played this game a few times at the video game store. Even though I never had this console, this was probably the game I'd wish I'd had anyway. I loved the zaniness of it all. Go Jigglypuff!

  • X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, *OUCH SORE FINGERS - CHANGE TECHNIQUE* X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O, X, O... *Bling - You came dead last in the sprint - Continue?* My friend and I played this game briefly. Thank God.

  • One of the first PlayStation games I ever played. We as a family used to play it a lot but I kept getting so angry and violent because of it that my parents sold it. Was pretty fun from what I can remember. Use to play it with my older friend who unlocked everything for me, but it was primarily a button-masher.

  • Played this a few times at my friend's house. He was still better at it than me. Slightly better graphics, but they seemed AWESOME back then. Never played fighting games for a while after this.

  • Like Spyro, I can remember exactly what happened when I got this game. I was eating roti chanai at Satay Kingdom with my mum looking at this game which she'd just bought for me. This game was actually pretty good. One of the later PlayStation games to come out, I played it a fair bit and remember the graphics and combat were pretty cool. Could've been a classic if it was released a few years earlier I think.

  • Was cheap, and I love Tetris! Really addictive, and although the multiplayer is playable, it's populated by seemingly impossible to beat foes and Tetris nerdettes! Join a game and watch yourself get beaten over and over again!

  • Pretty much my favourite game of all time along with Kingdom Hearts, Half-life 2 and BioShock. I had been playing Fable and had heard that Oblivion was like 1 million times better, so couldn't wait. My first Xbox 360 was gifted to me with the Game of the Year edition of this game along with Halo 3. Let's just say that all Christmas holidays I played this game. To the point where my Xbox would overheat and freeze. I've easily spent days, maybe weeks, of my life playing this game. Just the atmosphere, scenery, vastness and character keeps bringing me back for more. I'd never ever played a game where it said "You can follow the main quest, or do anything you like!". Every time I play Oblivion it makes me feel giddy with excitement, of discovering a vast world with infinite possibilities. And even now though I'm a seasoned gamer, every time I play this game I get that sense and helps me remember what I'll always love about gaming.

  • Probably the hardest games I have ever played. And pretty much one of the worst too. I JUST wanted to play as a fucking T rex. Could you let me? Nope! I just had to continually die on the same first level over and over as a stupid compy! You had to get through the entirely too hard level, without dying, WITH a DNA sample to even get ANYWHERE. Sold it on ebay, and funnily, two guys bid up to $40 for that P.O.S. Really? You actually want to buy that? WOW.

  • I have very fond memories of playing this for ages in the arcade with my dad. Unlike the picture though, the one we played in had a curtain around it. Kinda scary with all those Kraken and Leviathans spewing out at you and the rhythmic thumping of the guns.

  • This game eats life. It's kinda like the giant circle of life: in-game you watch your character go to work then come home and do only ONE thing before he has to go to bed before he starts whining like a little beotch. And in REAL life, you only do ONE thing all day - watch your sim continue doing one thing all day! And on the cycle goes. Great game though, but yeah, dangerous for your health.

How did you manage to only play Sonic throughout the Genesis age?
