You may not have heard of Onlive, but it’s currently a big deal. What is Onlive? Cloud gaming. Services like Steam (of which I’m a big fan) already allow you to purchase games online and download them. Now imagine taking a low-end PC and running Crysis with no problem. That’s Onlive. The processing is done […]

  Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a […]

It seems fewer and further between than when I was younger, but every so often while I’m playing a game, there’s a particular moment or event that’s just so damned satisfying. For you, it might be getting some great loot from a raid, blasting off three guys’ heads with a single shotgun blast, or getting […]

This is the fourth part in a series I’m writing on games that I played so long ago that I’d almost forgotten them. I was twelve years old when they released the best vehicular combat game ever. Autoduel came out for the Commodore 64 back in 1985, and in many ways this game has never […]

If you’re easily frustrated, don’t try “You Probably Won’t Make It”. They’re not kidding – the game is head-smashingly hard, and you may end up getting mad like this guy. I got to level three before I gave up. If you’re feeling masochistic today, you can download the game here. Just remember, you probably won’t […]

Although I no longer play Team Fortress 2, I follow Valve’s updates to the game with a passing interest. The most recent of these is a spy/sniper update, and the hilarity of the update makes the previous comedy of the sandvich look like nothing. In the Meet the Spy video, we got porn featuring your […]

Just a quick note to say “Hey, look!” It’s Thursday night, and I’m sitting down and relaxing at the end of a long (rainy) day here in Colorado, and I say to myself, “Hey, self. Why don’t I get some more header graphics up for Lungfishopolis?” As you’ve probably noticed, the image of a videogame […]

How interesting is it that “Tower Defense” has become a game genre? Currently, I’m playing three separate games in that genre. That’s a lotta tower defensing. Firstly, Popcap’s Plants versus Zombies. When I initially heard about the game, I wrote it off. I was never a huge fan of Peggle or Diner Dash, and despite […]
