Out of curiosity, I wanted to know how many video games I've played in my life, from Atari 400 to PS3. So, I started going through Wikipedia lists and jotting down titles. Turns out that I've got 726 games on my list. And I'm not even really a hardcore gamer--just your garden variety avid gamer.

*Now, this list is far from 100% accurate:

• Naturally, I've forgotten some of the games I've played.
• Some are most likely not listed in Wikipedia (or I scrolled past some titles too quickly).
• In some cases, I'm not sure if I only played the original or the sequels as well. When I wasn't 100% certain, I didn't include sequels.
• I only listed games that I've played for some amount of time with some effort to actually play all the way through (e.g. I didn't list Guitar Hero III because I've only ever played a single song)
• I didn't count games where I've only played the demo (which eliminated many PSN and Steam demos)
• I forgot a lot of sports games I've played, especially ones with yearly releases.
• I avoided duplicating the same game across multiple systems, unless versions were significantly different (e.g. Super Doge Ball NES and Super Dodge Ball Neo Geo are different. Mortal Kombat II SNES and Mortal Kombat II Arcade are identical enough).
• I did not count expansion packs as separate games. I considered them to be a part of the original game (e.g. I count WipEout HD and the Fury expansion pack as a single game)
• Basically, whenever there was any doubt, I erred on the side of NOT including a title.

In future posts, I will use titles from this list for top ten lists and such, but for now, I just wanted to present all 725 titles en masse, simply for the effect. Here are the 725 games I've played:
