Once upon a time there was a Dungeon Keeper game that everyone loved. It had no arbitrary timers, no microtransactions, and it's mere mention did not cause spontaneous vomiting. Today through Sunday, that Dungeon Keeper is free on Gog.com. Can you feel the love?
What does Dungeon Keeper's creator think of EA's roundly panned mobile version? "This is ridiculous," Peter Molyneux told the BBC. "I just want to make a dungeon. I don't want to schedule it on my alarm clock."
After spending the better part of two years covering the mobile gaming beat for Kotaku, I found myself puzzled over the anger surrounding the free-to-play features and rating policies of EA Mobile's new Dungeon Keeper game. Then it hit me — you guys must be new.

EA's new mobile Dungeon Keeper is free-to-play in the worst possible way, offering up a twisted cartoonish world in which you can progress through the game either by waiting or paying, and people aren't too pleased about it.

Every time I launch EA's free-to-play mobile reboot of the classic Dungeon Keeper franchise, I imagine a chorus of demons and imps singing Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday."
It's raining expansion packs. GOG, still celebrating its fifth birthday, has made the expansion packs for five classic Bullfrog games available for free. So, owners of Syndicate, Dungeon Keeper, Magic Carpet, Populous, or Populous: The Beginning, know that another small part of your childhood has now been restored.

The original dungeon defense game returns, but not to the PC from whence it came. EA is bringing back Dungeon Keeper as an iOS and Android mobile game this winter.
This Kickstarter looks like the Dungeon Keeper spiritual successor I've always wanted. They want £150,000.

Okay, I have mixed feelings about A Game of Dwarves, a new strategy-sim game that the folks at Paradox will release on Steam next week.

Hey, remember how in 2008 EA said a Chinese company would be making an MMO out of classic strategy title Dungeon Keeper? That project is still happening. Let's look at some artwork from the game.

The good news? EA today announced Dungeon Keeper Online, an MMO-based continuation of Bullfrog's classic strategy games. Bad news? It's not for you.
