Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.

Anyone that signs up for an account, or links to an existing one, will get the Akumu difficulty level as well as access to cheats such as invincibility, one-shot kills and infinite stamina. I'm glad developer Tango Gamework...
