Today I continue my list of my top fifty games of all time. 35- Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (Silicon Knights, Nintendo Gamecube, 2002) The Nintendo Wii plays GameCube games. When I got my Wii, the only GameCube game that I eagerly hunted down was this one, because I’d heard so much about it. It did […]

Although the ending is a bit climactic, Heir does a good job of capturing Shadow of the Colossus’s gameplay in a 2D form. The music sounds sufficiently epic, and the colossus is… well, colossal. Play Heir

I spent this weekend at a beach in Mantoloking. Riding the waves, sitting in the sun, and most importantly: building sand castles with my daughter. I’ve always enjoyed building sand castles, preferrably as the tide is coming in. You dig a trench, use that sand to build a horseshoe-shaped wall, and erect some towers behind […]

This week, the five games I’ll be covering in my top fifty list include many newer games – games that didn’t exist at the end of 2007 when I last composed a top fifty list. 40-Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (Arkane Studios, Windows, 2008) Dark Messiah was panned in reviews because the plot was lame […]

Back at the end of 2007, before Lungfishopolis was born, I created a list of my favorite 51 games of all time. Now, more than two years later, I figured it was […]

In PC Gamer podcast 224, a caller asked an interesting question. If you could combine any two games, which two would you combine? One of the show’s hosts suggested combining Arma & Portal to create a game that had a tank which would shoot portals rather than shells. Interesting, but I’ve got a few game […]

There’s a lot of hate out there for the 2d sidescroller Zelda sequel. I was one of the few who really enjoyed the game. I loved fighting the shield-bearing knights in the game’s dungeons. And I bought the Nintendo DS version of the game and replayed it. Now, there’s a 3d version of the game […]
