What’s Christmas without snow? As a result, for my next listmas list, I thought it would be nice to list some chilly things, particularly chilly characters. It’s surprising how many characters are fit for this most festive of seasons, so sit back and enjoy the Duck’s list of chilliest characters in gaming, good and bad. …

The makings of a physical game collection (on “paper,” at least)
As much as I love spending time with video games of the here and now, part of me will forever be stuck in gaming’s past. I can’t deny the desire to pick up on great titles that I missed. Now, I don’t always want to look to the past with gaming, but when I do,…
The Experience, Part 1: The Elgato Game Capture HD – Capturing from the PlayStation2 and GameCube
Following up on my post from last week on attaining the Elgato Game Capture HD, this week I’m going to go more in-depth into the experience of actually using it. One caveat: I will be discussing its use relative to capturing from the PlayStation 2, GameCube (here in part 1), and PC (next week in…
Revisiting Old Friends
For the first time in my life, I have so many video games that I haven’t had need to replay any of them for quite a while. And yet, for the strangest reason, I have recently had the urge to take a break from my backlog (which involves unplayed games I bought a year or…
Fruit Has Never Before Been This Exciting
I get stressed very easily. You have no idea how much a tough battle freaks me out or the mere thought that I might be unable to progress through a game, causing me to ponder with unease all the fun I might be missing out on if I’m never able to overcome the challenges set…
Limited Edition: A Siren’s Call
It was actually thanks to a comment posted by Chris Hodges that inspired today’s lovely post (thanks muchly, good sir) when he made mention of the Zelda controller in the background of the image I had chosen for my post about The Last Story. Few images could be found for the game (aside from lots…
Where Have All The Arcade Sports Games Gone?
A couple of months ago I repurchased a GameCube, a console that I previously had access to as a child/young teen and loved playing. Strangely even though I hadn’t touched the system for over 10 years, my mum had still stored away some of my old GameCube games (mum you are a legend!). Although most of…
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…
[REVISITED] The Duck Discusses the GCN, PS2, and XBox Generation: Part 1-The Cubester
Hello and Happy Year’s everyone! While the general saying of this time of year might go something like “In with the new, out with the old,” here at UWG, we’re all about celebrating our storied past. Every Thursday this month, I’m going to present to our wonderful readership a post from our archives. UWG has…
Gaming Humiliation: Constructor X in “Bomberman Generation”
Look at me, the master of creating bizarre series, has done it again. I have started another series, with this one’s purpose being to share with you all sections of games that range from really quite bad to very rather embarrassing. And back again. And a fitting beginning is one boss I have found particularly…
