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 […]

If you’ve never tried Raptr, now may be the time. The site actually seems to be improving. The gamercards I coded for Lungfishopolis are great in that I can add all games I’m playing on any platform, but the drawback is that everything’s manual – I have to add games myself rather than the card […]

I’ve got to say, overall I’m a bit disappointed in Fallout 3. What I’d wanted was a game much closer to Fallout 1 and 2. That is to say, a role playing game with turn-based strategy elements. What I got instead was something much closer to Oblivion, which is of course not a bit surprising […]
