Subway Surfers. Subway Surfers is an "endless running" mobile game. Batman: Arkham City. There are just seven types of four-block shapes — Tetronimos — to drop into place, with the aim of creating unbroken lines across the playing area that then disappear and drop all the blocks above them down a line, but things can become pretty complex very quickly. Not so much a game as a community simulation, the Animal Crossing series places you in a rural village populated by anthropomorphic animals and more or less leaves you to get on with it — growing plants, fishing, hunting for fossils and socialising with the residents, all played out against a real-time clock.
Its stroke of genius, though is how it immediately puts you in hock to the local shop owner, Tom Nook, who kindly gives you a mortgage with which to buy your house, obliging you to keep on earning bells — the game's currency — to pay him off. And of course, he's always happy to lend you more bells to upgrade your home.
The capitalistic fiend. The Sims isn't the first game to put you in charge of your own little computer people — that honour belongs to the appropriately-named Little Computer People, released by Activision for the Commodore 64 back in — but Electronic Arts ongoing series is one hell of a lot more sophisticated than its 8-bit predecessor.
Originally released in and now on its fourth version, The Sims lets you create artificially intelligent people to play with, and basically do with as you wish, with no ultimate goal and unlimited possibilities. First released in and with 7, star systems in its universe, EVE Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game with the emphasis of the massive. Having had 14 years to grow and develop, it's become quite staggeringly complex, with its own economy and political system and any number of player-controlled corporations and alliances, plus vast numbers of ships and weapons, many of which change hands for serious in-game money.
EVE Online is one of those games that can dominate its players' lives completely; mind you don't get sucked in too deeply. Geometry Wars first appeared as an Easter egg in Project Gotham Racing 2 on the Xbox, as an arcade game in your virtual garage that you could have a go on if you fancied a break from tearing around in supercars. It was then enhanced and released on its own for the Xbox , as Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, a sort of neon space Robotron with a handful of enemy types, each with their own behaviour patterns, that keep on coming at you in ever-greater numbers.
It starts slow, then starts ramping up the numbers to the extent that the play area becomes filled with enemies and the Xbox starts to struggle with the sheer volume of stuff on-screen. Brutal, but completely exhilarating. Not quite as old as EVE Online — it was first launched in — World of Warcraft has become the go-to MMORPG thanks to its enormous game world that's roughly , square kilometres in size, and a never-ending array of things to do there.
With plenty of races and factions to choose from, and any number of quests to undertake and stuff to discover, it's easy to see why its appeal never seems to wane; back in Blizzard announced that over more than million accounts had been created over the game's lifetime, and you can be sure that many more have been created since then.
The big problem with designing a never-ending game is ensuring that there's enough variety to keep players coming back; you can use clever algorithmic techniques, keep adding more enemies or just make them harder to kill, but ultimately it's hard to ensure that things don't become too repetitive, especially in a single-player game.
Audiosurf gets around this by letting your music generate its levels: feed it a tune and it'll turn it into a multi-lane highway filled with coloured blocks to collect, all synchronised to the audio. It's very clever and it works exceptionally well; half the fun lies in finding songs in your collection that turn into the best levels. Come the zombie apocalypse you can be sure of one thing: you're unlikely to run out of zombies to kill, since everyone who gets killed by a zombie will swiftly join their ranks.
Which makes it the perfect subject for a never-ending video game, as is borne out by Left 4 Dead. Its main campaign, of course, has a very definite ending, but its Survival mode — added as DLC in — gives you the proper zombie apocalypse experience: just you and your friends against an infinite supply of the infected.
Stay frosty. Multiplayer gaming's been around ever since Pong, but it only really came of age once we all got fast internet connections and could play against — or team up with — other people from around the globe, and the likes of Modern Warfare are what helped to make it so universally popular.
Modern Warfare's single player campaign's great, but we all know it's all about the multiplayer mode, and specifically Prestige Mode: maxing out your experience level and restarting at level one but with a special symbol so that everyone knows you're not to be messed with. Endless runners are a fairly recent thing, and while it's hard to tell whether Canabalt is the original, it's certainly the one that kick-started their popularity.
Originally made as a Flash game and then converted to iOS, Android and other platforms there's even been a version made for the Commodore 64 , it's gloriously simple: run across the rooftops, building up speed, and hitting the jump button — the only control — to leap between buildings and avoid obstacles that'll slow you down.
You could run forever, but it's only a matter of time before you tumble to your death. There's no need to explain what Minecraft is or why it's so popular, we're all so familiar with its ways by now. What you might not realise, though, is just how big it is.
