PLAYER FAVOURITES

58 GAMES

The top shelf. Gold LEDs, hearts on every case, and the three that never leave the drive.

BORDERLANDS · EVERY SINGLE ONE

9 GAMES

Loot goes in, more loot comes out. Pandora, the moon, the Wonderlands, Tales, and 4.

GAMER MOUSEInventory full. Dropping the shield. No, the other shield. No, the purple one.
♥

FALLOUT

10 GAMES

War. War never changes. The bombs fell after a long resource war between the US and China, and lately those pre-war newsreels sound a little too much like tonight’s headlines. From the isometric wastes to Appalachia, plus a vault you run from your pocket.

ARTHURThe news this morning sounded like a Fallout intro.
GAMER MOUSEThat’s why the vault fits in a pocket. Also, the bobblehead on the case is Strength. Don’t touch it, it’s load-bearing.

BIOSHOCK

7 GAMES

Would you kindly press start. Rain on the porthole, a crooner on the radio, a 1960s noir case nobody asked you to solve, and a city that rewrote its own genes. Plasmids in the vending machine, ADAM in the veins: gene splicing with a cocktail menu. Rapture, the remasters, the city in the clouds, and both trips back under the sea.

GAMER MOUSESplice once, you get lightning fingers. Splice twice, you get opinions.

VALKYRIE PROFILE

4 GAMES

The Valkyrie picks the fallen. Lenneth, Silmeria, the Plume, and Elysium, all on the soundtrack shelf’s good side.

FINAL FANTASY

25 GAMES

The series that took tabletop role-play, the party, the dice-roll drama, the campaign that runs past midnight, and put it in everyone’s head, then left them starving for the next one. Crystals, chocobos, sixteen numbers and not one of them final. Pixel Remasters through Rebirth, Tactics included, two more on the way.

01

RESIDENT EVIL

18 GAMES

Outbreak protocol: gaming mode. The T-Virus slipped onto this shelf the way SV40 slipped into the world, hitching a ride on something nobody thought to check, and now it’s in every case. The PS1 originals caught it first, then the whole Steam run up to Requiem. Herbs mixed, ink ribbons hoarded, every door opened twice.

GAMER MOUSEPatient zero was the save room. Nobody suspects the save room.
ARTHURShould I be wearing a mask?
GAMER MOUSEYou should be holding a shotgun. And a herb. Mix the herb first.
02

SILENT HILL

13 GAMES

Fog’s rolling in and the radio’s crackling. The town always calls back. P.T. stays on the shelf even though the hallway’s gone.

ARTHURWhy is the radio doing that?
GAMER MOUSETurn it up. It’s a feature.

CTHULHU · LOVECRAFT CORNER

5 GAMES

Don’t read anything out loud in this corner. The sunken city got a sequel, and the water’s higher.

“It was just a colour out of space—a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all Nature as we know it; from realms whose mere existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the black extra-cosmic gulfs it throws open before our frenzied eyes.”

H. P. Lovecraft, The Colour Out of Space (1927)
ARTHURIs the sequel scarier?
GAMER MOUSEWetter.

PS1 · PS2 CLASSICS

2 GAMES

The memory-card vault. Fifteen blocks each, guarded with your life. The Dragoon lands the timed hits, and Norrath still needs the original console and a couch co-op buddy.

05

PLAYED & LOVED · STEAM LIBRARY

74 GAMES

Every case on this shelf got played, and enjoyed all the way to the end. Catching creatures in Palworld. Riding a train out of the void in Voidtrain. And I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, where a maddened machine keeps its last humans alive because tormenting them is the only way it copes with its own insanity. Those three sit up front with the all-time loves right behind them; the rest follow A to Z. Tap any case for the story.

ARTHURWhy does the AI keep them alive?
GAMER MOUSECompany. Terrible, terrible company.

GOOD GUYS TO WATCH & FOLLOW

5 CHANNELS

Controller down, snacks up. Not every great game night needs a pad in your paws: these are the channels that go on the big screen when somebody else is driving. Hit follow, they’ve earned it.

ARTHURSo this is just… watching other people play?
GAMER MOUSEIt’s scouting. Very serious. Pass the Pixel Puffs.
♥

THE IGP CREW

3 CHANNELS

One friend group, three channels, zero self-preservation. Indie horror, co-op chaos, and a lot of screaming at things in the dark. Start with the crew playlist: SkillyMcFilly Plays Multiplayer Games With IGP, Drae, and Friends.

RIMWORLD STORYTELLERS

2 CHANNELS

For the nights the colony at home needs a break and somebody else’s pawns can suffer instead.
