Currently Loving: Dungeon Keeper

Yes, I realise it's not 1997, but do you realise that living without having played Dungeon Keeper is like living without having ever heard Shakespeare read aloud? It's a cold, desolate and lonely place without humour or wisdom. Dungeon Keeper was one of my favourite games growing up, and it's still absolutely brilliant.

I picked this up from Good Old Games, even though I've bought it at least twice in my life in disc form, but at least now it's guaranteed to work on Mac and PC without needing any annoying workarounds.

If you've never seen it, it's a subversion of the old sword-swinging knights and nobles RPG, where instead of The Lord of the Land, you are a dirty, cruel master of darkness and torment, creating your den of pestilence under the good citizens of wherever. Created by God-game progenitor Peter Molyneux, it's expertly balanced, grim, grimy and funny. Think The Sims meets Tim Burton and Se7en.

I've never managed to finish it, it gets properly difficult after about the two-thirds mark, but it's a lot of fun to try! If you have it, or are thinking of picking it up, give me a holla and we'll try a networked game.
