For the first and second quarters of 2005, I quite possibly overstretched myself and made the charts too unwieldy to continue. As well as PS2, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, PC and Xbox games, I also included several retro consoles such as the Sega Saturn and the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Here are the bloated results.
For the third and fourth quarters of 2004, the charts were expanded to contain the top 20 “Essential” games for each format. Listening to what the users of Gamesradar wanted, I also covered PC games and the top 10 online console games this time around. Here are the results.
Back in 2004/5, I ran this thing called The Essential Charts on Gamesradar. The jist is this: Everyone picks their five favourite games and can either rank them from 1 to 5 (the game placed first gets five points, the game placed second gets four points and so on), or just have 5 games in no particular order, each scoring 3 points. I would then compile the scores and we’d have the top 15 “Essential” games for that format.
So, I was delving into the memory banks of the computer, and dragged these bad boys out. They were taken with an ancient camera on a Nokia phone, and they are tiny and such bad quality!
That piece the other day reminded me of all those screenshots we took of Halo 2 years ago. They used to be up on the gallery that was integrated into our old phpBB2 forum, but I have them saved and would like to try and reproduce them here for you now. Bear in mind, with no screenshot feature in Halo 2 these were photographs of a TV screen taken by Orca.
CAUTION! There are 37 thumbnails!
That time the clan met up in London and attended a videogame exhibit.
The photographs were taken by myself or Jane if there is no other name in the title of the file.
CAUTION! There are 40 thumbnails!
