<big>'''Welcome to {{SITENAME}}'''</big>

''now stop asking us what game you should play next''

All of these recommendations come from /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 one of our lists, we appreciate it.
  +
  +
PROTIP: The new Wikia look sucks, 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 02:54, 10 October 2013


Welcome to /v/'s Recommended Games Wiki

now stop asking us what game you should play next

All of these recommendations come from /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 one of our lists, we appreciate it.

PROTIP: The new Wikia look sucks, 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 - Reviews by /v/ - 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.
