Okay, I’m going to be open with you and say that this post is a little bit about information gathering, rather than simply being a fun exercise. Nevertheless it would be interesting and useful if you guys would tell me what games you’ve played for more than a couple of hours in the last three months. Don’t bother including mini-games, free indie stuff that we’ve posted on here unless you’ve played it obsessively for many hours.
I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours. I’m going to include non-PC stuff too. And remember: it was my job to play some of this stuff.
The Rossignol tri-month game spread, roughly in order of how much I’ve played the game:
Eve Online
Age Of Conan
Team Fortress 2
Stronghold Crusader Extreme (Don’t agree with Kieron, thought it was pretty horrible.)
Spore Creature Creator (Not exactly a game, I know.)
GTA IV
Wings Of Honour: Battles Of The Red Baron (Actually not bad)
Crazy Machines 2
Oblivion
GRID
Stalker
Rock Band
Air Rivals (Still meaning to post about that. Kind of an interesting PvP MMO.)
Fallen Empires: Legions Beta
I’ve probably missed something significant, but that’s the basic line up.
You?
