The Games of 2011

Now that I’ve reviewed my favorite 2010 games, it’s time to look at the games I’m most looking forward to in 2011. For me, I should probably include Starcraft 2 on that list, since it was on my last most-looked-forward-to list, and I still haven’t played it. But here are the unreleased games that I’m […]

Video Game Roundup: Autumn 2010

Hello, Lungfishopolis! I almost forgot you were there. It’s been a while. Part of the reason I haven’t written is because I’ve felt that I have nothing interesting to say. But in the end, if it’s between a boring blog post and nothing at all, I suppose I should at least post something boring if […]

Top Fifty: 1-5

5- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Nintendo EAD, Nintendo Wii, 2006) Despite the fact that it was originally designed as a Gamecube game, I loved Twilight Princess. The beautifully-crafted themed dungeons, the frequent story moment cutscenes, the varied gameplay, the mini-games, the music, I loved it all. And yet I never played Ocarina of […]

Thoughts on Bioware

I’ve made no secret of the fact that Dragon Age: Origins is the best game I’ve played in years, due primarily to the writing. The storyline and the characters are absolutely stellar. But as good a job as Bioware did with the game, I can’t claim to have loved everything they’ve done. Let’s take a […]

Thoughts on Dragon Age

Recently, I finished my first playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins, which is easily the best game of 2009. And while I’m already well into my second playthrough, I’ve got a lot to say about the game. I’ll try to keep mention of any game-specific events very vague to avoid spoilers, but if you’re extremely sensitive […]

Well, Crap.

I’ve had some seriously bad luck recently with games. This weekend, after getting thoroughly trounced by a revenant in Dragon Age for the sixth time, I decided to fire up the Playstation, and I played some Trine. That platinum trophy has been seeming more and more attainable. I managed to get every experience vial in […]

Dragon Age Online Player Profiles

Although I’m smack in the middle of a big ole writing drought on this site due to real life issues, I thought I’d share my Dragon Age online profile. EA does a lot of stuff that gets on my nerves, and the integration of Dragon Age’s DLC has rubbed me the wrong way a bit, […]

My Favorite Game Settings

Most game settings are just fluff. Even some of the games I really like have dreadfully generic settings. When you read about Borderlands, the description of Pandora sounds really interesting. In the game, it’s beautiful to look at, but doesn’t have much character. The world in Dungeon Siege is huge, but kind of boring. Even […]

Lungfishopolis Best of 2009

2009 is over, and this week in Lungfishopolis, we’ll be talking about which games were our favorites this past year. Today, I’ll be starting by talking about my own favorites. It’s a tough call, but I’d probably have to say that my favorite game of 2009 is Dragon Age: Origins. The game’s difficulty has certainly been a struggle […]

Zero Punctuation: Dragon Age Origins

I love Zero Punctuation. It’s hilarious. But be forewarned: it’s not G-Rated. As a side note, he reiterates a point I made recently about Tolkien.
