Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge [...]

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’ve always been a huge fan of Bullfrog’s Dungeon Keeper. And while the official sequel was a failure, we’ve always got Dungeon Defender to fall back on.

In part one of this article, I discussed general gameplay strategies. Now, let’s take a closer look at the game’s individual towers. For your convenience, I’ve also created a printable pdf quick reference guide. Yeah, it’s really ugly - I know.

Perhaps I’m a bit late to the party on Pixeljunk Monsters, but since I bought it from the Playstation Network store, I’ve been playing it constantly. It’s like crack. Not that I’d know what crack is like. What I mean to say is that the game is pretty damn addictive, and the demo’s free. We [...]

I’d been planning to write this week about the different platforms on which Spore is going to be available as of this Sunday. I’d been planning on discussing the potential pros and cons of each platform and asking readers on which platform they’d be playing Spore. I’d been planning to do this… until I went [...]

I’ve begun to notice recently that there are a lot of fairly good games that you can get online for free without stealing them. Personally, I prefer ninjas to pirates, so I’m going with the legally acquirable games.
On this coming Sunday the 31st, Red Alert will be thirteen years old. Electronic Arts, to celebrate this [...]
