Hey again all! Staying cool, I hope! Today we’re taking a look back at Halo 3 and the sorts of moments its wonderfully varied playlists enabled. Seriously, how is it that we’re now 15+ years out from this and we’re still looking back on how good the old stuff was? I dunno about you, but…

When Games Bring Out Your Ugly Side
For the most part, I think games are supposed to be a relaxing thing. Once your day is done and its compliment of tasks are completed, enjoying a game should be a matter of stress-free fun. I think this is mostly the case for single player games, but, for me, multiplayer is a different story….
Listmas 2023: Awesome Cover Art to Deck Out the Halls With
Growing up, one of the best parts of getting at new game was pouring over the cover art on the trip home. It was like a little window into the experience you were about to undertake and helped your imagination to run wild with the possibilities. That particular experience has more or less gone away…
Listmas 2023: Great Halo Gifts for the Family’s Master Chief Maniac
For some game fans, it realy is all about the game. The game is what they enjoy and they really couldn’t care less about anything else surrounding it. For many other our there though, finding and acquiring cool merch for your favorite franchise is a big part of the fun. These days I belong to…
Listmas 2019: The Best Ways to Get Around
One of the best things about gaming in general is the myriad of transportation options available to players. Most of the time it’s mundane stuff like cars, horses and planes, but not always. Sometimes we get to indulge in a bit of fantasy and unreality, and that’s where the magic happens! Using these is part…
Resonance: Rain
The Halo games have changed quite a bit over the past few years, and not always for the better. One could even argue that the series started going downhill right after Halo 3. I disagree. Without getting into it, the Halo series entered its prime with Halo 3 and only started declining with Halo 4…
Tricks, Treats, and Feats – The Golden Age of Halo 3 Rocket Race
I’ve talked about Halo 3 quite a bit over the years. What can I say? It’s my all-time favorite online multiplayer game. It’s over 10 years old now, but it offered its players more depth of play than any of today’s big multiplayer titles. It had several playlists for its competitive and casual fans to…
Relying on Lootboxes is a Mistake
Are you really happy with the lootbox system? I’m not. At first I thought they were fun. I mean, who doesn’t like the feeling of opening what is essentially treasure chest? The thing is though, almost all of the fun in a lootbox is found in the opening. Once it’s done, it’s done, and hopefully…
The Duck Discusses the Wii, 360, and PS3 Generation: Part 2-360 Boxes
Not long ago, I published a post discussing what I like and dislike about the Wii, and seeing as the next console of this particular generation that I bought was the XBox 360, it makes sense for Microsoft’s console to be the subject of the second post in this series. It’s a funny thing, though,…
Inevitability is Bad for Multiplayer
Image by Flickr user: DavidHT I had a thought recently; Just a passing notion as I was trying to decide which game to spend some time in that day. I had been enjoying Infamous: Second Son quite a bit and still needed to finish it, but it didn’t really feel like an Infamous sort of…
