During last year’s Listmas, we spent a week discussing our favorite comedic gaming moments. This year, for the Duck’s free choice, I thought it would be fun to list some of the funniest games, in general, that I’ve ever played. After all, who doesn’t want to end the holiday season with some good cheer? As…

Spooptober: Rayman’s Undead Grannies
In a franchise that features zombie chickens, it should be no surprise that the Rayman games are a good source for finding a delightful balance of spooky and quirky. One recurring location is the Land of the Livid Dead, though it is very different in its two main iterations. In Rayman 3, the Land of…
Resonance: The Abyss
One of my all-time favorite video game series has always been Rayman. The games are seriously some of the most creative and unique out there, from the lush and intricately detailed locations, bizarre creatures, and amazing soundtrack. I have actually already discussed the series’ soundtrack twice before (you can find the links at the bottom…
The Duck’s Top 10 Games of the Decade!
The last decade has seen the release of some pretty awesome games spanning indie titles, remakes of classic PS1 games, Nintendo’s comeback with the release of the Switch, and everything in between. It’s now the Duck’s turn to honor my top ten games of the decade (not including remakes because that doesn’t quite seem fair). …
Listmas 2019: Top 6 Favorite Modes of Transportation
This week, we’re covering our favorite modes of transportation in gaming. And when I started thinking about all the possible options for this particular list, I realized that there is truly a wide variety of ways to get around. And they don’t all have to be vehicles, either. And so, below are the Duck’s top…
Day 23: Game with the Best Graphics or Art Style
Continuing my way ever so slowly through the 30 days of video game topics, we come to the game with the best graphics or art style. Though in recent times, I was thoroughly impressed with the graphics of Kingdom Hearts 3, which are easily some of the best I’ve ever seen, I wanted instead to…
Listmas 2018: Top Games with Stylized Graphics
With video game graphics getting more and more realistic, the games that really stand out to me above all others are actually those with interesting and unique art styles. There’s certainly something to be said for a game that looks like a work of art, and below, I’d like to list my top examples of…
Day 19: A Game Setting You Wished You Lived In
At this point, my 30-day video game topic challenge has taken me far beyond 30 days, but I’m still plodding along. Today’s topic asks which game setting I would like to live in. I have gone through multiple possibilities in my head, but the one that stuck was the Rayman universe. Ever since I first…
The Duck’s Top 10 Video Game Songs
While we have discussed often songs that have resonated with us (and the Duck has frequently listed top 5’s and 10’s from various games over on my own blog), we have yet to compile a list of our top songs from video games in general. Today, I am going to right this wrong with a…
Youtube Time: The Duck Plays: Rayman Origins-Wind or Lose (Lum Medal)
Today in Rayman Origins, I get the Lum Medal in Wind or Lose (one of the many titles that sport silly puns). There is certainly some wind in this level. And some losing. Especially when I kept trying to get this one coin…. Darn coin. I cut out a lot of my attempts because I…
