The Duck’s Ten Best Games of the Last Ten Years

Ten years have gone by, and now it’s time to list the Duck’s ten very favorite games from the last decade, ranging from horror to Metroidvania to expansive adventure and platformer games.  The last decade saw the release of some pretty amazing games from well-known series, along with a whole bunch of amazing indie gems. …

I Loved Zelda-ween!

You know, it’s still kind of insane to me that we’ve managed to last 10+ years as a blog. Most of our peers from that time have, for one reason or another, moved onto other things yet here we are somehow still chugging right along. We’re all going to talk about that a bit more…

Scariest Enemies: Humanoid Monstrosities

Video games are filled to the brim with weird and creepy monsters, but if I had to narrow it down, humanoid creatures are probably my least favorite foe.  It could be the inherent creepiness of the uncanny valley, or it could just be that I don’t like facing off against something that either used to…

Tears of the Kingdom is Bigger, But is it Better?

The short answer: yes.  The long answer, however, is just a bit more complicated.

The Duck’s First Week with Tears of the Kingdom

The Newest Tears of the Kingdom Update: Now With 100% More Sticks

Last week, Cary covered the newest update on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.  Much of this update covered Link’s new crafting abilities, including a new feature to create vehicles that can cross the ground, water, and air!

Age of Calamity: Demo Review

Having invested many hours into the original Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U, I thought it would be interesting to try the demo for the next entry in The Legend of Zelda spin-off of Dynasty Warriors, Age of Calamity on the Switch.  Unlike the original, which had a story that stood apart from the rest…
