The Duck played a whole bunch of games this year, partly thanks to some really good sales, allowing me to download a good deal of digital games for sometimes as low as $5 or even $2! Now that’s one heck of a deal! Since I didn’t exactly buy that many games that were actually released…

Listmas 2020: Making a Merry In-Game Christmas
Video game Christmas events come in all kinds of flavors. Some are sweet and savory, dripping in fun and Christmas cheer. Others though…others are bland and chalky, putting forth the barest effort and only marginally acknowledging that there’s something to celebrate. While there’s definitely no single recipe for a great Christmas event, I believe there…
Listmas 2020: All I want for Christmas (events) in games is…
This week’s Listmas question is a simple one: what makes a great holiday event? Or, maybe it’s not so simple, since we all enjoy the holidays, and holidays with gaming in our own way. My experience with holiday gaming events is quite limited, unfortunately. Outside of some holiday-themed DLC, the only one I’ve actively participated…

For the bulk of my gaming history,…

After all, what better time to update the ranking than the dawn of a new hardware generation? If you’ve been reading our stuff for awhile, then you can probably guess…
Listmas 2020: Horsing Around in The Witcher 3
If you’re a fan of The Witcher, you know Roach, Geralt’s trusty steed (or steeds, as he names all of his horses “Roach”). As I’m knee-deep in The Witcher 3 now, I’ve come to know its version of Roach quite well. Or, well enough to feel like my bad luck with mounts in games (unless…
Listmas 2020: Top 5 Characters with Bad First Impressions
They say that “first impressions are everything”. And in the real world, that can often be the case. Because who wants to hang out with someone who acted like a huge creep the first time you met them? Well, video games are a bit different because you may be forced to see a character you…
