Don't have a Vita unfortunately.
But I do! I want to play them again, but wondered if the PSP games were any decent or just shit?

They're only £1.79 so it's not exactly a risk.

13 on top 50 finished (and a couple only started but neverr finished). Then also played AOE2, Tetris, Rome, FIFA and Football manager. So it is 13 + 5 + 2. 20 out of 50, not that bad.

16. Thought it would've been less in all honesty.

Looking at the full list, I'm surprised there are no Resident Evil or Silent Hill games on there. I thought at least one of each would've made it into the top 50. No Bioshock Infinite either.

When Duffy posts the full list, who's going to try and play all the ones on there that they haven't played?

I've played most, it's pretty embarrassing the number. Come on, I use that joke against Lambs and now you use it against me! I've never lied about playing a game :)

There's plenty that got voted that I'd never even heard of nevermind played, but not in the top 50.

It wasn't against you matey. The 'html' code with your name there was used as a trademark of your joke with Lambo, basically he'll play those 2 games he hasn't played or hasn't claimed to have played.

Oh, sorry misunderstood. Yeah I haven't played any personally so I can't really comment on the quality. But from what I remember, there are ports of Warrior Within and The Two Thrones that go by the names Revelations (I think?) and Rival Swords.

Warrior Within (Revelations) is good, though definitely the weakest of the trilogy. Very combat focused, somewhat crude and utterly lacking the qualities that made Sands of Time so good.

Two Thrones was a return to the Sands of Time in many ways. Still didn't quite have the effortless grace of Sands of Time, but got the fundamentals much better.

If you were only going to play one, I'd say play Two Thrones (Rival Swords). Maybe my memory is casting it in a harsher light than it deserves, but I think if I'd played Warrior Within as my first Prince of Persia game I might have just given up and decided the series wasn't worth playing.

Love you too.

Also, to be fair, I've played over 40, but I've completed a lot less. Never played Baldurs Gate 2, A Link To The Past, Warcraft 3, WOW (well, not really), Diablo 2 or Shenmue. I've played the rest in some capacity, but lots I haven't actually completed. Fallout 3, Skyrim, Super Mario Bros (sorry Ol!) and San Andreas being the most notable examples. A good few I've brought and played for a bit but got nowhere, others I've just played my mates

It's easy for me - I've wasted a shit load of money on consoles/games and get to play the games of my family/friends a lot too. I know it makes me sad, and I especially hate my ability to leave a game unfinished. I waste ridiculous amounts of money on games that I play for an hour and never again.

Right, that's it, you're going to get a knuckle sandwich and I don't mean a sandwich with some knuckles in it. Well, I do actually, well no... well you're going to get a smash in the chops and no questions answered anyway!

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time not on the list is a disgrace to humanity.

It would be far more interesting to know how many people matched from their top 20 to the top 50 total than to how many you've played as accessibility means shit all. I got 8/20.

I only got Half Life 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Golden Eye 007, Final Fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid, KOTOR, Bioshock, Vice City

Crash Team Racing, Mario Galaxy 2, Company of Heroes, Resident Evil 4, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Unreal Tournament 04, Chrono Cross, Skies of Arcadia, Doom, Portal and Tomb Raider didn't make the top 50.

Can't believe a Resident Evil game didn't make top 50!
