You know, as much as I’d like to just hate on something that I personally consider a scam, I’d rather just say that I really hope that everyone invested in the project is happy with what they’re getting out of it. Really, I do. There was a time when it looked like Star Citizen was…

The GabeCube is is Real!
This isn’t exactly news anymore, but I wanted to talk about Valve’s surprise announcement last week. I mean it probably shouldn’t have been a surprise since Valve already has the Steam Deck and its VR device, and it already tried the Steam Machine thing once before. Yet, this time it feels different. This time Valve…
Top 5: Favorite Ori and the Blind Forest Moments
This month marks the tenth anniversary of the release of Ori and the Blind Forest. Achieving critical acclaim and commercial success, this incredible platformer won over the hearts of millions of players, myself included. I’ve played through Ori and the Blind Forest several times, including once for our YouTube channel, and although I’ll always have…
Skyrim Fans Have Downloaded Over 2 Billion Mods (And Beyond)
One of the greatest strengths of PC gaming is its modding community. Once practically any game is released, modders get right to work making everything from major bug fixes to silly add-ons. One of the most heavily modded games out there is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which has recently surpassed over 2 billion mod…
[REVISITED] 77 Hours Later, and Mass Effect: Andromeda is in the Bag
One of my gaming goals for 2021 is to replay Mass Effect: Andromeda. Can’t say it’s a lofty goal, but with the Mass Effect Legendary Edition due out later this year, rather than tread through the original trilogy for the umpteenth time, I figured I’d cast fresh eyes over Andromeda‘s post-Commander Shepard universe instead. It’s…
SCP: Containment Breach – A Unique Horror Experience
The horror genre is fairly sparse in the Duck’s household, so as I pondered the topic of my final Spooktober post, I had very few options available to me. It then occurred to me that I have never written about the spooky PC game, SCP: Containment Breach, a truly unique horror experience! So let’s rectify…
Top 5 FNAF Fan Games
One can’t really talk about horror games these days without being reminded of Five Nights at Freddy’s. Love it or hate it, it can’t be denied that this series has spawned an immense popularity, with an increasingly confusing lore, lots and lots of merchandise, and let’s not forget…fan games! While the Five Nights at insert…
Unforgettable: The Interactive Intro of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
When I first started playing video games in earnest, words like “Atari” and “arcade” were commonplace. “Nintendo” and “Mario” soon followed, and with them came a chasm-like leap in video game technology. After spending countless hours with relatively simple (but not simplistic) games like Pole Position and Defender, I was utterly wowed by what would…
A New Take on Turok
Flying under the indie radar, there’s a new Turok game in the wings. It’s called Turok: Escape from Lost Valley, and it is…well, what is it? Its description reads thusly: Turok: Escape from Lost Valley is a third-person action/adventure game where the player is Turok, trying to find a way back home. The player explores…
Close to the Sun Looks a Lot Like BioShock, and I’m Psyched
It’s been a while since we’ve seen anything even remotely close to a new BioShock. It’s not too surprising of course; Kevin Levine did close his studio (Irrational Games) after completing work on BioShock Infinite, but it’s still kind of odd since 2K still owns the rights to the series. Whatever the case, we’re in…
