The Biggest Gaming Happenings of the 2010’s
When we first started United We Game/Virtual Bastion, gaming was in a very different place than it is now. Many things that are commonplace now were unthinkable then, and games themselves were largely different in how they were designed. Even the way we engage with games is radically different these days, so…how did we get…
The Duck’s Most Anticipated Games of 2024
Now that 2023 is over, we have another year’s worth of games to look forward to. To be honest, I don’t have a whole lot of games I’m particularly excited about, but of the few on my list, at least there’s some nice variety, including a remake of one of my favorite RPGs, a relaxing…
Hatmonster’s Most Anticapted Games for 2024 and Beyond
You know, there was once a time when you could make a list like this for just the coming year. There were enough games confirmed for it that you could confidently talk about what you were looking forward to playing within the next few months or so. Now though? Now release dates tend to be…
Hatmonster’s 2023 GotY: BG3 and…
I’ve been hearing a lot of talk recently calling 2023 one of the best years in gaming. To be completely honest, I don’t see it. I mean, yeah, a lot of pretty good stuff came out this year, but I feel as though very little of it was actually memorable or impactful. In my case,…

And all the little critters that accompany it. And that is why I’ve decided for our Wildcard Week to list a…
Listmas 2023: Cozy Games for a Comfy Christmas
If your Christmas is anything like mine most years, then the 24th and the 25th are days that are, while quite fun and enjoyable, rather busy and even frantic. There are places to be, presents to transport, side dishes to prepare and all manner of other chores to be done in preparation for either hosting…
Listmas 2023: With Great Cover Art, the Package Makes Perfect
There’s no doubt that one of the best things about gift giving, at Christmas or any time, is the element of surprise. You take a perfect gift and conceal its awesomeness behind pretty paper. Then the big moment comes where the receiver tears open that paper to reveal the big surprise and, you hope, be…
Listmas 2023: Beautiful Games That Will Save on Wrapping Paper
Wrapping paper is not usually sufficient to hide the presence of a video game. We all know the relative shape and size, so it’s really just to hide its specific identity. But there are some games that are just too beautiful to be covered up by some brightly colored, winter-themed paper. For these games, you…
Listmas 2023: Gaming Goodies for BioWare Buffs
It goes without saying that I enjoy BioWare’s games. True that I’ve not played each and every game the studio has offered since its inception, but I can say that I love their brand of gaming. Deeply narrative, infused with choice, and set in imaginative worlds, BioWare has hit some lasting homeruns with the likes…
