More often than not, I tend to play games a year or more after their initial release dates, so it can be really hard for me to provide a really good “best of” list. I just started playing Mass Effect 2, and I have yet to play Metro 2033, Starcraft 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, […]

The closer I get to the top of my list, the more verbose I expect my text on each game to become. We’re closing on Lungfishopolis’s two year anniversary, and I can’t speak highly enough of each game listed here. 16- Okami (Clover Studio, Playstation 2, 2006) Okami is squarely within the genre carved out […]

Roger Ebert’s recent article claiming that games can never be art has spawned conversation and argument all over the interwebs of late. While listening to a recent episode of Gameshark‘s Jumping the Shark podcast recently, something Brandon said caught my attention. If you want to hear it, download episode 14 and skip ahead to 58:00. I’ll paraphrase […]

For the past few years, I’ve listened to many XBox 360 owners explain why their console of choice was superior to the Playstation 3. And while some games – Dead Rising, Fable 2, and the upcoming Alan Wake for example – have made me wish that I owned a 360, for the most part I’ve been […]

I’m a fan of survival horror games. It’s no secret that Resident Evil 2 is my personal holy grail of survival horror, but I also enjoyed Eternal Darkness, and even Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth had its moments. But as I’ve written before, survival horror as a genre is dying. In the […]

It’s been up for some time now, but I feel a need to point out Brandon’s review of Heavy Rain on Gameshark.com for those of you who may need additional nudging to get a copy of the game. Here’s my own review: “WOOO!”

I finished playing Heavy Rain on Tuesday night, and I’ve got to say that I loved it. It’s odd though – while I expected to want to immediately launch into a second playthrough as I did with Dragon Age, I’m finding that I’m content with the story I’ve chosen. Since so much of the game’s […]

I’ve been playing Heavy Rain now for two evenings, and I’m probably 5 or 6 hours in. Before they made Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream released a game called Indigo Prophecy, which I absolutely loved despite the game’s severely flawed denoument. I can say now that although Heavy Rain contains no science fiction beyond some advanced […]

With the huge number of games that were released over the 2009 holiday season and the 2009 games that were pushed into early 2010, I’ve got a to-play list that’s just way too long. I’m currently spending a good bit of time replaying Trine on very hard difficulty, working towards those last few trophies. If […]

There are a number of already-released games I’m dying to play and just haven’t had the time to get around to. Resident Evil 5, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, and Far Cry 2 are amongst them. Likewise, games like Street Fighter 4 and Braid have been out for a while, but only on consoles. I’m awaiting the […]
