When I think of the best levels in the best video games I’ve ever played, one of the first that comes to mind is the Shalebridge Cradle level from Thief: Deadly Shadows. You’ve got to play through 80% of the game before you’ll see the game’s penultimate level, but it’s worth it. I’ve seen some […] Read the rest of Ode to The Shalebridge Cradle

Playing Thief: Deadly Shadows recently, I was struck by how well the game would work with achievements. The game practically screams for them. In each mission, you can select from four difficulty levels, and in addition to increasing enemies’ perception and lowering your own resistance to damage, the higher difficulties will require you to collect […] Read the rest of Thoughts on Achievements and the Lack Thereof

Here’s an IGN preview for a game that I’m getting more and more excited about. I love the cell-shaded look, I love the RPG elements which should hopefully make the shooter part less difficult as I progress in levels, and I love the notion of drop-in drop-out multiplayer.

In Upgrade Complete, you’ve got to upgrade everything in order to get it: the graphics, the music, the title screen, even the game itself. While the game portion is only mediocre, you’re not with it long enough to get bored, because the upgrade system is the bulk of the game. Oh, and it’s got the […] Read the rest of Free Game Friday: Upgrade Complete

Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge […] Read the rest of Keepers: Katamari Damacy

Lots of times, people look down on casual games as if they’re a lesser animal. Peggle could never be as good as World of Warcraft. Bejeweled can’t hold a candle to Killzone 2. But I find that sometimes I’m not in the mood to play the in-depth games. There are times when I’d rather play […] Read the rest of Thoughts on Casual Games

Although the version of Okami I played was a Wii remake of the Playstation 2 game, I loved it. It was not only the best-looking Wii game I’ve ever seen, it was potentially the best-looking videogame I’ve ever seen. This is because the designers didn’t shoot for photorealism, instead opting for a beautiful hand drawn […] Read the rest of Okami DS

Summer is cooling off, and the big holiday game releases are right around the corner. While we won’t be seeing Starcraft 2 or Heavy Rain this year, and Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been shelved until further notice, there are still plenty of fantastic games coming out this year. Drawn to Life: the Next […] Read the rest of Lungfishopolis 2009 Holiday Game Watchlist
