Now SEGA is Considering Launching a Gaming Subscription Service

Now that publishers and storefronts are being forced to admit that we’re not really buy- ing our games anymore, it seems that they’re becoming more willing to go even further into the world of subscriptions and streaming.

Alien Isolation 2 Confirmed in Development!

After 10 years of thinking that Creative Assembly’s brilliant survival-horror, Alien: Isolation, was doomed to forever be a one-off, fans got an awesome surprise earlier this week: an official announcement from the developers themselves that a sequel is in the works.

Two Point Campus: A Great, But Unstable, Sim for Newcomers

I’ve never really been big into simulation games.  My only two experiences happened many years ago when I was in school, and neither went well.  I once played a game where you ran your own zoo, except instead of normal animals like zebras and lions, you kept dinosaurs.  Being in elementary school and not yet…

Sonic Frontiers: Demo Review

After Sega started pumping out mediocre Sonic games, I eventually gave up on the blue hedgehog altogether.  Having no intention of returning to the Sonic franchise unless they produced something that really stood out, I couldn’t help but take notice of Sonic’s first 3D adventure, Sonic Frontiers.  Nevertheless, after buying multiple lackluster games in the…

Maybe I Don’t Want an Open-World Sonic Game, After All?

Sonic fans will be in for something of a treat when Sonic Origins releases on June 23rd this year. It’s a collection of the most notable of Sonic’s outings, including: Sonic The Hedgehog 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD. It’s not everything fans would probably like to see in a Sonic…

Silly Scoundrels: Dr. Ivo ‘Eggman’ Robotnik

Dr. Robotnik is a baddie hailing all the way back to the era of Sega Genesis vs. Super Nintendo. It’s kind amazing how committed both companies were to their rivalry, with Nintendo boastful “now you’re playing with power” ad line and Sega’s overt “Genesis does what Nintendon’t” tag line. These two giants were out to…

A new year of gaming is upon us, and today, the Duck shall be discussing some of my top anticipated games that will be releasing in 2022 (in no particular order)!  While some of them will be no surprise, I’ve made sure to round out the list with a few lesser known titles, with trailers…
