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, […]

Over the years, I’ve found some damn good free games out there. These are my favorites. The best of the best, as it were. Desktop Tower Defense Although Pixeljunk Monsters and Plants vs Zombies may be better tower defense games, Dekstop Tower Defense is purer, and it’s free. The Deepening The Deepening is pure humor […]

5- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Nintendo EAD, Nintendo Wii, 2006) Despite the fact that it was originally designed as a Gamecube game, I loved Twilight Princess. The beautifully-crafted themed dungeons, the frequent story moment cutscenes, the varied gameplay, the mini-games, the music, I loved it all. And yet I never played Ocarina of […]

Although my little game blog here is no 1up, there are a number of Lungfishopolis articles of which I’m proud. I thought it’d be fun to look back on some of the site’s best posts. Awesome things I’ve done in Scribblenauts (link) After having seen a tweet written by Wil Wheaton, I got the idea […]

10- Resident Evil 4 (Capcom, Playstation 2, 2005) It pains me that I’ve placed another Resident Evil game higher than my beloved Resident Evil 2, and it further pains me that it really isn’t a survival horror game. But survival horror as a genre seems to be taking a backseat nowadays, and we’re left with […]

13- Shadow of the Colossus (Team Ico, Playstation 2, 2005) When I think of the bygone era of the Playstation 2 and all the amazing games it had to offer, Shadow of the Colossus is generally one of the first games to come to mind. Although the graphics are grainy by today’s standards, it still […]

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 […]

Now we’re into the home stretch. We started at top fifty, but now we’re into the top twenty: my favorite games of all time. Encouragingly, three games in this list didn’t yet exist when I wrote up my original list back in 2007. 20- Ultima V (Origin, Commodore 64, 1988) I’m a great lover of […]

25- Braid (Jonathan Blow, PC, 2009) Braid took the gaming world by storm primarily because of its creativity. The game originally showed up on XBox Live Arcade in 2008, but I didn’t play it until later, when it became available on Steam. Although it’s an excellent 2D sidescroller in its own right, Braid’s greatest achievement […]

This week is all about the PC games. In looking over things, just about half the games on my top 50 list are PC games. As an aside, twenty-two of them have zombies in them. List analytics aside, let’s look at the next five games. 30 – Dungeon Keeper (Bullfrog Productions, Windows, 1997) Despite being […]
