Street Fighter V and a Different(?) Approach to DLC

Several days back, at the EVO 2015 fighting game tournament, Capcom announced that its newest Street Fighter game, Street Fighter V (SFV), would essentially be released as a “complete” game with free (or mostly free) content becoming available down the road.  So unlike with Street Fighter IV (SFIV) and its “Super” and “Ultra” upgraded versions on disc,…

The Duck’s Top Three Overlooked Games

One would think that the best games would also be the most well-known, which is often the case, but there are times that I decide to give some obscure game a chance and am baffled at how such an amazing game could have been forgotten so.   I have several such games that are quite dear…

Resonance: Remember Me

Remember Me is a perfect example of wasted potential. It’s not bad game nor awesome, just average. I’m normally not bothered by a game being average, but this one is different. It could have been so much more than it was, had it just been given a little more time to grow. This week’s selection…

Games That Inspire Adult Tantrums

Several posts ago, I wrote about how many video games seem to be getting easier now than in the past.  This made me think of games on the other side of the spectrum.  Not really difficult games, though, as you’d expect.  Difficult games can be good for those who like a challenge.  But, what I…
