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?
A new trailer was recently released for Sonic Frontiers, that upcoming open-world Sonic game that seems to be receiving some pretty mixed reception. And considering Sega’s past track record with the franchise, it stands to reason that fans are feeling a range of emotions, from hopeful optimism and excitement to a gnawing conviction that the…
The Duck’s Most Anticipated Games for 2022
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…
Listmas 2019: The Duck’s 6 Favorite Mini Games
For our final week of Listmas 2019, we decided to write about anything we felt like. Ironically enough, the Duck usually doesn’t enjoy mini games. In fact, I often resent it when a game makes me play them in order to progress or to obtain an item I need for 100%. However, having recently enjoyed…
Live Action Sonic is Scary, But That Could Be Fixed

Sonic’s Getting a Live Action Movie
In recent years, live action adaptations have been quite the trend. Disney has been producing live action remakes of their animated features, there’s a live action Detective Pikachu movie in the works, and now…Sonic the Hedgehog is getting the same treatment.
The Limits of One’s Patience
There’s something quite baffling about how, when we are younger, we can so often sit through the most dreary of games and play them through to completion. At least, I know that’s how I was. There are many old games I could play again and again that I can’t stand the sight of today. Many…
The Duck Discusses the Wii, 360, and PS3 Generation: Part 2-360 Boxes
Not long ago, I published a post discussing what I like and dislike about the Wii, and seeing as the next console of this particular generation that I bought was the XBox 360, it makes sense for Microsoft’s console to be the subject of the second post in this series. It’s a funny thing, though,…
Why Games Should Do Away With Extra Lives
I grew up playing video games that used extra lives. The old “Mario” games had them and the old “Donkey Kong Country” series, too, and it was just a feature that you had to deal with. As you played through such a game, level by level, it was always on your mind how many lives…
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…
