For this “deserted island” list, I strongly debated with myself as to whether or not to distinguish between first-person shooters and first-person games. Only then I remembered that I’ve hardly played any FPS’s, strictly speaking, so I opened up the floor to games that only feature the first-person viewpoint, whether or not shooting at things…

Top 5: My “Deserted Island” Fighting Games
I know what you’re thinking…what’s the use of having fighting games on a deserted island when you’d have no one with whom to play?? It’s a valid question.

Top 5: My “Deserted Island” Action-Adventure Games

My “Deserted Island” Games — Wii edition
After several months of waiting and waiting and watching, we got the Wii for one primary reason: the promise of motion control.

My “Deserted Island” Games — Nintendo DS edition
I really can’t even begin to describe just how attached I was to my DS. Short of playing a borrowed Gameboy way back when, the DS was the first handheld gaming device I owned. And man, did I OWN it. That little white box went everywhere with me. It became the savior of public transportation,…
