 IGN: Bullfrog Productions
Bullfrog's first product was just that as Populous became one of the most famous games in software history and is credited with creating an entirely new genre of computer game in 1989 - the 'god game'.
In January 1995, to strengthen its global positioning, Bullfrog Productions merged with long time publishing partner Electronic Arts, and in August 1997, Bullfrog co-founder, Peter Molyneux, left to establish a new development team known as Lionhead Studios.
The Bullfrog name has been retained, however, as a branding tool for certain titles that are extensions of the company's established franchises.

Like a fight between two heavyweight boxing contenders, Electronic Arts/Bullfrog Productions and Hasbro/Microprose are battling it out to see who will be king of the hill in amusement park construction simulations.
At the same time, EA announced that Bullfrog was developing a sequel to Theme Park, culminating in the release of SimTheme Park last month.
I am really impressed by the originality of the non-roller coaster rides, with new rides and upgrades appearing continuously as you play, and would have to say this is the most outstanding aspect of the product.

Bullfrog 3, being represented by Faucet International Productions instead of Moquin and Walsh Productions who began with Bullfrog 1 and 2, was still underway when this newspaper went to press.
The complexion of the event was in marked contrast to Bullfrog 2, the pseudo-festival staged in the St. Helens Plaza Square.
Bullfrog 3 was, some people have theorized, only a sampling of what Bullfrog 2 might have been, had a Columbia County Circuit Court decision not prevented its staging at the Columbia County Fair Grounds.

In the global software entertainment business, Bullfrog productions rates as one of the most successful development houses in the world.
In fact, Bullfrog Productions is one of the very few development groups in this industry that can boast such a high success rate.
Although maintaining the Bullfrog track record for originality and revolutionary gameplay, both these titles, took full advantage of the exponential leap in technology that had taken place in the intervening years - and of course, true to the public's expectations, Bullfrog has pushed that technology to the limit.

 Electric Games Review: Dungeon Keeper by Bullfrog Productions/Electronic Arts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
Bullfrog has always been known for creating games that are a little different than most with a humorous slant on them that sets them apart from the crowd.
Dungeon Keeper does not stray from this path, it's one of the more fiendishly clever games I've played in some time.
The only real flaws I can find are the lack of difficulty settings, and the lack of native Internet multiplayer support.

Bullfrog, the makers of Syndicate, cheerfully raise the standard of slavery, dictatorship, and destruction as the banner to build a proper dungeon.
For good measure, Bullfrog threw in a Doom engine for the "Possess Creature" feature: usually (99 percent of the time), you view your dungeon from above, but when you possess a creature, you see through its eyes and can walk around.
Like most Bullfrog products, Dungeon Keeper is well-coded and highly detailed, but a little too weird for the mainstream.

In 1987 he formed Bullfrog Productions Ltd. to develop an idea he had for a new type of strategy game.
His unique approach, in which the player is a sort of deity ruling over his minions, was (inevitably) copied by other designers and became known generically as a 'god-sim'.
His new plan was to put together a team of like-minded enthusiast to develop games, and leave the distribution and marketing business to the corporate experts.

 The Adrenaline Vault Review of SimTheme Park   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
At its maximum resolution of 800x600, the graphics still are somewhat grainy, contain a low polygon count and lack detailed textures.
Oddly enough, there are numerous options for improving the graphics that are not supported by Bullfrog and are only available by manually editing one of the configuration files: You may, for example, activate triple buffering, bump mapping and 32-bit rendering, but even with these operational, I am not overwhelmed with the visual quality.
In addition to ignoring real-world physics, you do not have nearly the level of control over the design or complexity in the finished product as you do in RollerCoaster Tycoon.

 Powermonger, a review by Alfred and Amanda Giovetti
Powermonger, a hybrid strategy-war game which also has very definite roots in the "god game" genre, is a product of Bullfrog Software, who produced the smash hit "god game", Populus, and the just-released Populus II.
Powermonger is a high-quality product that will give hours of satisfying play to one two human opponents who enjoy war games, simulations, or "god games", and would not be put off by the real-time combat.
The game required a good balance between patience to wait to fight until you have the advantage and develop resources like food, and a sense of urgency to develop devastating weapons of war and sufficient population to provide a large enough army overcome the enemy with few casualties.

The latter game's notorious delays have caused it to become even more hyped than in the past - and have made many fans overlook the fact that Bullfrog Productions has a few other games in store for the year.
And while those on watch for Dungeon Keeper keep their eyes firmly fixed on its ever-changing release date, Bullfrog may just, with Gene Wars, release one of the year's most engaging strategy games - completely unnoticed.
First impressions may cause many to dismiss Gene Wars as just another Command & Conquer clone, to cast it aside as yet another real-time strategy game in which your goal is to build a base and destroy your opponents.
