Even though The Legend of Zelda series doesn’t typically come to mind when you think of horror, I’m sure all fans of the series have noticed that these games have more than their fair share of creepy creatures. In fact, whenever I think about scary enemies in video games, more often than not, my thoughts…

Unforgettable: The Aliens of Majora’s Mask
I’ve been thinking about one of my favorite games lately, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, and though the game is near and dear to my heart, I realize now that I had forgotten about a lot of the things that made the game special. I had forgotten just how dark the game could be,…
Pure Speculation: Will the NX Save Nintendo?
It is widely known that the Wii U has suffered a rather poor reception, and as a less than proud owner of the console for about two years now, it takes no stretch of the imagination to understand why this is. In all that time, my Wii U has been largely used for recording gameplay…
Kazooie Vs. Tooie
Two of my favorite games of all time are the original Banjo-Kazooie games for the Nintendo 64. I started off with Tooie and played the original afterward, and for the longest time, I firmly believed that Banjo-Tooie was the better of the two. It was a time when I believed bigger was better, and Banjo-Tooie…
Growing Up as a Gamer and Why I Don’t Enjoy DK64 Anymore
As the years go by, our tastes change. We grow out of cartoons and toy cars and dolls, and we become, well, more sophisticated, in a way. Video games are no exception. For many of us, we end up looking over our game collections years later and finding games that, while we loved them as…
Unforgettable: The Flying Shell of Rayman 2
I haven’t written a whole lot of posts for my Unforgettable series because something has to really stand out to me to make the list. It has to be shocking, exciting, or just too awesome not to share with the world. It is only fitting, then, that one of my favorite games of all time…
The Great Mysteries of Rayman 2
After spending the last several hundred hours of my game time playing RPGs (no joke), I needed a break. The only games currently in my backlog at the moment are Final Fantasy IV and V, so I decided I would instead need to revisit something I had played before. Being in quite a Rayman mood…
#Listmas: Gaming’s Chilliest Characters
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. …
Unforgettable: Click Clock Wood
Typically when I write about something unforgettable in a video game, I usually talk about something small that stuck with me. A particularly memorable cut scene, an extra epic segment of gameplay. Today, however, I am discussing an entire world. It was after my recent playthrough of Rayman 2 that I decided next to revisit…
Resonance: Final Hours
There is one song that has always stuck with me, even though the first time I heard it was 15 years ago. This is the music that plays during the final hours in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, during the night of the third and final day, when the moon is lowest in the…
