Obituary

As is likely obvious, Lungfishopolis is kind of dead. It never had much of an audience, and as such it existed primarily as a creative outlet for me. I’ve moved my musings on video games mostly to Google Plus posts. If you’re interested in participating in those discussions and you’re not already in my Google […]

Scope Expansion

I’ve just had a thought. An idea. I have an idea. This site has been langushing for some time. My own writings have been entirely uninspired over the past year, and I’ve often considered shutting this site down. The main reason I haven’t is because I really like the site’s design, the random header and […]

What’s to Come

When I originally created Lungfishopolis.com, I was playing a lot more games than I am today. I’d envisioned myself as one of three or four authors who’d write on this site once or twice per week, writing about the experiences we’d had playing games rather than writing up reviews of the games we played. It […]

Top Fifty: 1-5

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 […]

Two Years of Blogging: My Favorites

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 […]

Anniversary

So. Lungfishopolis.com is two years old today. Woo. Yes, I hear the crickets. I understand that approximately three point five people visit this site every month, and it was never intended as anything other than a hobby. It was fun designing the site’s layout and all the random header and footer sidebar images. I’ve also […]

Top Fifty: 6-10

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 […]

Top Fifty: 11-13

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 […]

Top Fifty: 14-16

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 […]

Top Fifty: 17-20

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 […]
