All of these recommendations come from 4chan's [http://boards.4chan.org/v/ videogame subforum /v/] (or at least should be). Expect tastes that may not match your own, a healthy serving of hateful language, and punishing standards of quality. We hate so hard because we love video games so much.
  +
  +
This wiki, like all wikis, lives and breathes on the [[#Contributions|efforts of volunteers]]. If /v/ is going nuts over a new release or an unburied gem from the past, or you can contribute to , we appreciate it.

PROTIP: The new Wikia look is awful, so log in, click 'my preferences' at the top, scroll down to 'Site Layouts' and change it back to 'Monobook'. ''Now in delicious Burichan flavor.''

Revision as of 19:07, 21 April 2012


Welcome to /v/'s Recommended Games Wiki
now stop asking us what game you should play next

All of these recommendations come from 4chan's videogame subforum /v/ (or at least should be). Expect tastes that may not match your own, a healthy serving of hateful language, and punishing standards of quality. We hate so hard because we love video games so much.

This wiki, like all wikis, lives and breathes on the efforts of volunteers. If /v/ is going nuts over a new release or an unburied gem from the past, or you can contribute to , we appreciate it.

PROTIP: The new Wikia look is awful, so log in, click 'my preferences' at the top, scroll down to 'Site Layouts' and change it back to 'Monobook'. Now in delicious Burichan flavor.

TL;DR: What We're Playing Now - Upcoming Games - Multiplayer Recommendations - Wiki Forum - Recent Changes - view all categories

Current consoles/handhelds

Upcoming

Desktop computers/tablets and mobile devices

Recently Discontinued

Thanks to emulators and eBay, you can still play videogames that are even older than some of us have been alive.
