…except the name of the game does not have the word “poop” in it. Yeah, it’s juvenile. Yeah, it reminds me of some of the crude text adventures I’d played on my Commodore 64 when I was 14. And it bills itself as “survival horror”. But it’s old school in that it’s not easy. A […]

If you’re an old school gamer like me, you’ve got fond memories of old RPGs like Tales of the Unknown: Volume I: The Bard’s Tale. Before it was a series, there was the original Bard’s Tale. Nothing like breaking out the graph paper and drawing your own dungeon maps. Once again, Lungfishopolis has created three […]

One of my first impressions when I started playing Crysis was that it was a heck of a lot like Far Cry, albeit better looking. Aside from standard FPS mechanics, both titles let you toggle lying prone, and both contain a meter next to the mini-map to indicate enemy awareness of you, not unlike the […]

Treelings isn’t a very difficult game. I beat it in 2 or 3 minutes, and I’m not even sure there’s a way to die. But it’s very zen – kind of like Fl0w – and the hypnotic drum beat will stick in your head for the rest of the evening after you play. Play Treelings

So it looks like there’s a new teaser site up for Bioshock 2.  I’m sure they’ll do something clever soon like add hidden links in the flash after everyone’s exhausted themselves on a fruitless pixel hunt. I wasn’t as big a fan of Bioshock as everyone else seemed to be, but it was entertaining. Anyway, […]

Video game reviews are big business now. And while I really didn’t want to get into the games review business when I started Lungfishopolis, I feel a need to bring peoples’ attention to a few games which got a lot of terrible reviews, but which I found to be very good games. I’ve played all […]

I don’t know how it’s possible, but I hadn’t heard of EasyTutu until just this weekend. This project is completely made of win. It’s developed by the Pocket Plane Group, and the bottom line is that it takes the Baldur’s Gate 2 engine, and lets you play Baldur’s Gate 1 with all the enhancements of […]

Assteroidz is a strange but playable Asteroids clone that tries to turn the weirdness up to 11 by reskinning the original game with a Van Halen theme.  It seems a little more challenging after a few levels than the original Asteroids.  Being a not-so-serious game, it’s perfect to fill a few moments of free time […]

I really need to stop titling posts “Thoughts on..” All I apparently do is think meanderingly about games. I just tried out the Playstation 3 demo for Resident Evil 5, and in many ways, it’s a little disappointing. Granted, it’s a lot like Resident Evil 4, which I loved, but it seems to be lacking […]

Although I never played any of the Monkey Island games myself, I was a big fan of a few other classic LucasArts adventures: Maniac Mansion and Labyrinth mostly. Still, I know many folks who’ve loved the Monkey Island games, and I hope this poor attempt at a wallpaper serves them. Download Monkey Island Wallpaper (1024×768) […]
