That Which is Hiding in the Hidden History of Santo Ileso

The 2022 Saints’ Row reboot may have gone over the gaming community like a lead balloon, but I had a decent time with it. There was plenty wrong with the game, but one thing that Deep Silver Volition (RIP) got right was the game’s setting, the wild and wonderful world of Santo Ileso, which was…

Full Remake Announced For Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly

Those wondering if Koei Tecmo was still interested in developing the Fatal Frame series need ponder it no longer. Not only has the publisher announced a new entry into the series but that entry also happens to be a full remake for Fatal Frame’s most celebrated title. Yup, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is…

Sneaky Secret Anomalous Rubber Duckies

Today’s Easter eggs cover multiple games, but a singular topic.  Ironically, said topic could even lay eggs.  Because I’m talking about ducks.  Or more specifically, rubber ducks (okay, okay, so I suppose those can’t lay eggs…).  These Duck of Indeed-approved bath toys are cute and silly and can actually be found in a handful of…

The Many Secrets of Hollow Knight

Now that Hollow Knight: Silksong is out and has made me eat a very big sandwich stuffed with my own words, my thoughts have turned once more to its predecessor and the qualities that made it such a special experience. There’s no one thing that makes Hollow Knight great, but, since we’re in the midst…

The Secret of the Cheese in Dragon Age: Inquisition – The Descent

Much like its predecessors, Dragon Age: Inquisition is steeped in lore, and there’s no shortage of odd and unusual leads to follow from its plethora of codex entries. Some lead to exemplary gear, others lead to exclusive story additions or dialogue between characters. But none lead to one of the game’s strangest and most humorous…

Star Wars: Outlaws on Switch 2’s Reception Kinda Bugs Me

Another day, another overly expensive port of a decidedly not new game. It’s business as usual for Nintendo’s new console for sure, but this time the game is Star Wars: Outlaws, a release that panned by a great many for being decidedly lackluster at best and utterly broken at worst just a few months ago….

Rayman 3 is Packed with Secrets!

Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is a platformer from the early 2000’s starring Ubisoft’s neglected limbless mascot.  For whatever reason, the game allows you to collect these gems in order to rack up points, which served no other purpose than to unlock some random minigames (and a hidden room in the Tower of the Leptys, which…

Stop ‘n’ Swop’s Inter-game Secrets

Secrets in games come in all manner of varieties, from funny little easter eggs to actual cheats that enable all sorts of craziness. Normally, secrets are meant to be found, albeit with a little sleuthing effort, but there are those that were never meant to be found at all. For a long time in Banjo-Kazooie,…
