Since 2008 we’ve gone through many games at the UCHG — and inevitably we’ve cov­ered many that are included in the ‘1001 Games to Play Before You Die’. Rather than revisit the games them­selves, it’s much more enter­tain­ing to get a bit nos­tal­gic and see which ones we’ve already enjoyed in the last few years…

1001 No. 25: ‘Combat’ (1977)

Brad explored the joys of head-to-head com­pe­ti­tion with his much loved Atari 2600

1001 No. 26: ‘Super Mario Kart’ (1992)

A face­off in Mario Kart form, on the Super Nintendo — where Ross and Fen com­peted for a kart­ing victory

1001 No. 27: ‘Doom’ (1993)

Featured by the UCHG in an all-Doom roundup, a trib­ute to illus­tra­tor Don Ivan Punchatz and some excel­lent art­work, the orig­i­nal Doom also inspired a com­plete playthrough by Steve — cos noone loves Doom more than him

1001 No. 28: ‘Micro Machines 2′ (1994)

Micro Machines inspired a Super Battle Bonanza Blowout, an incred­i­ble show­down between Ross and Steve

1001 No. 29: ‘Super Mario 64′ (1996, N64)

Our first con­sole chal­lenge back in 2008, with every­body look­ing fright­en­ingly young… where we blasted through one of the great­est and most rev­o­lu­tion­ary video games of all time

1001 No. 30: ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2′ (2000)

The incred­i­ble skate­board­ing / falling over sim­u­la­tor, which we sped through to 100% in a cou­ple of hours — fea­tur­ing some hilar­i­ous fail­ings from Ross

1001 No. 31: ‘Hitman 2: Silent Assassin’ (2002) and No. 32: ‘Hitman: Blood Money’ (2006)

The UCHG lov­ingly looked back at the entire assas­si­na­tion sim series (so far) over two in depth talks

1001 No. 33: ‘Medal of Honor: Allied Assault’ (2002)

The UCHG took on the entire game from start to fin­ish in an epic chal­lenge. MOHAA!

1001 No. 34: ‘CS Source’ (2004)

The long run­ning ter­ror­ist vs. counter-terrorist mul­ti­player game has inspired both a fan­tas­tic Xmas spe­cial and the birth of the Hostage Assassination Squad

1001 No. 35: ‘Need for Speed: Most Wanted’ (2005)

In a 2009 Need for Speed roundup we dis­cussed how damn awe­some Most Wanted is

1001 No. 36: ‘Left 4 Dead’ (2008)

Thousands of zom­bies were harmed in mak­ing of these many vis­its to L4D by UCHG — cus­tom art­work, a 5 hour time­lapse, and an unbe­liev­able chal­lenge attempt by Ross

1001 No. 37: ‘Left 4 Dead 2′ (2009)

The UCHG saw 2009 become 2010 over a New Year’s eve marathon of Left 4 Dead 2

1001 No. 38: ‘Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising’ (2009)

An excel­lent (if very dif­fer­ent) fol­lowup to the ground­break­ing Operation Flashpoint, Dragon Rising became Brad’s Game of the Year

So that all brings us to 38 down… many more to go!
