In this season of giving and good will towards all, it would only be fair for at least one Listmas list to give some attention to the oft under-appreciated sidekicks of gaming. It can be easy for said sidekicks to get lost within the shadow of the more famed hero of the game, but that…

Day 12: A Game Everyone Should Play
I am slowly making my way through the 30 days of video game topics I started…probably a few years ago, and today we have finally reached…number 12. I’m not even halfway done yet! Yikes! Well, this topic involves a game everyone should play, and I had to put careful consideration into which one I would…
So Many Games to be Thankful For
Seeing as my fellow admins wrote their own Thanksgiving-themed posts (a long time ago…) on games they were thankful for, I thought I better get my tail into gear and write one of my own. I intended on publishing this quite some time ago, but Listmas came up, and I wasn’t able to get to…
Jak and Daxter: I Miss the Simple Days
I didn’t already write a post about this, right? I don’t think I did…. Anyway, some time ago, I wrote a post comparing the “Jak and Daxter” and “Ratchet & Clank” series, and I thought it was high time I gave you guys a more in-depth look at the “Jak” series, one of my favorites,…
Great Games I Almost Missed
Sometimes, I like to think about how things would be if I made different decisions. Like, if I had never decided to buy the PlayStation 2, my first venture outside my previously Nintendo-only domain, what games would I be playing now? What would my collection look like? I’m sure we all have times where there…
My Favorite (Major) Releases Of 2013
Even though 2014 is upon us, why not take a step back from and have one final look back at 2013. This year is going to get pretty busy with new releases soon enough, so the time is right. 2013 was an interesting year from a reporting standpoint as it marked a transition between the…
Glitches Involving a Disappearing Act, With no Magicians Responsible
Today’s addition to my little glitch series is a common one, when things just mysteriously vanish. Mysteriously. Sometimes, the world falls apart around you: This happens in “Spyro” games I played on the Cube. For me, it was quite common in “Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly” for the ground to disappear in the second world, the…
Merry Listmas: My Gaming Wish List
It is now time for the Duck’s second Listmas list. This one is kind of like my gaming Christmas list, listing all the gaming-related things I would like to see someday, whether they be things that can actually happen someday or are merely silly and impractical.
Crime in Video Games and Why Even Kirby Commits It
Why is crime okay in video games? And no, I’m not talking about “Grand Theft Auto”. I’m talking about games like “The Legend of Zelda” and “Kirby”. Yep, even in games like those, things that would be considered wrong in real life are deemed perfectly acceptable. What am I talking about? Well, have you ever…
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…
