I am now officially halfway through the Sly Cooper series! I recently completed Sly 2: Band of Thieves and have gotten 100% both in the game itself and in collecting all of its lovely trophies. If only these were real trophies, I’d have quite the collection by now. Since my last update, I completed both…

Newcomer Alert: Halfway Through Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Well, I’m now 49% through Sly 2: Band of Thieves and have recently started chapter 5. I explored a nightclub in Paris and defeated its owner, Dimitri the iguana (since when are iguanas purple?), the first member of the Klaww Gang (which I’m certain bears no relation to Klaww from Jak 1…). I braved the…
Newcomer Alert: Initial Thoughts on Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Now that I’ve completed the very first Sly Cooper game, I can safely say the series is starting to grow on me, and it was with much excitement that I began the second game in the original trilogy, Sly 2: Band of Thieves. I am currently an hour into the game, and though that may…
Newcomer Alert: The Completion of the First Sly Cooper
I’ve done it, I’ve completed my first Sly Cooper game (at a baffling 83%; I did get 100% of the PS3’s trophies for the game, however)! I found all clue bottles and opened all safes. I…never really used any of the extra moves I learned in those safes, but still. It was a satisfying feat,…
Newcomer Alert: Halfway Through the First Sly Cooper
It’s time for my next Sly Cooper update, everyone, as I work my way through the Sly Collection on the PS3! I’m now 53% through the first game, which seems like a perfect spot to update my thoughts. Well, I have defeated Sir Raleigh the frog in Wales and Muggshot the bulldog in Mesa City,…
Newcomer Alert: Initial Thoughts on Sly Cooper
More often than not, I come late to a popular game or series, sometimes as much as 10, 15, or even 20 years after its release. Super Metroid, Final Fantasy VII, the Ratchet and Clank series, just to name a few. As a result, I often feel at a disadvantage when other people are discussing…
The Completion of Lightning Returns and a Question
It took about 95 hours, but I am finally done with Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns, and I don’t think I want to play another RPG again for a long, long time. Nevertheless, I ended up having a lot of fun with the game, even if my initial impressions weren’t great. Before I get into…
Day 11: Gaming System of Choice
Day 11 in the 30 days’ worth of video game topics I began writing about…probably over a year ago is my gaming system of choice. It’s a pretty straightforward question, and that is why I want to write about more than said console’s amazing selection of games and the other obvious things one would typically…
#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. …
A Better Way to Level Up
I have mixed feelings about leveling up in video games. As we all know, this common feature of RPG’s allows us to make our characters more powerful and, in any game that includes it, it is typically a requirement. You simply can’t get through RPGs without leveling up your characters, or else you’ll be doomed…
