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,…

Rayman: Rising Out of Obscurity
Over a decade ago, while perusing my local Best Buy, I came across a game called “Rayman 2: The Great Escape” for the Nintendo 64. The box sported a bizarre looking dude with a big nose that I actually mistook for a rather odd dog (I later found that he is, in fact, you know…
Overlooked: The 1,000th Lum of Rayman 2
One of the most satisfying things in any video game, for me, at least, is when you discover secrets that most of those who have played the game know little about. I have found a decent number of secrets (well, to be honest, by “found”, I mean that I read about them online) in various…
Resonance: Dark Creature Pursuit
Video from Youtube User: Soniman001 One game I recently had the pleasure of playing was “Rayman Legends”, a wonderful game that contains some of the best video game music I have ever heard. But, as I believe I have said before (and if I hadn’t, now you know), a song has to be more than…
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…
My Favorite (Major) Releases Of 2013
Even though 2014 is upon us, why not take a step back from and have one final look back at 2013. This year is going to get pretty busy with new releases soon enough, so the time is right. 2013 was an interesting year from a reporting standpoint as it marked a transition between the…
Unforgettable: Castle Rock
Every once in a while, there comes along something in a video game that is just so great and so unforgettable, you must share it with everyone you know. Sometimes, there is just a certain awesome cut scene or epic challenge or a particularly enjoyable level that sticks with you, that stays in your mind…
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Impressions Or How The Franchise Won Me Back
(click here to navigate to the original post on GamerCrash.com) Assassin’s Creed has always held a soft spot in my heart. Bringing historical fiction in line with engaging gameplay is one of the many reasons why I love this franchise. Being able to set foot in places you only read about in history books is just…
Glitches Involving Injustice
Today the Duck is continuing my little glitch series with a description of glitches involving injustice in this already unfair world. These glitches involve the unfair deaths and restarts that can sometimes be as amusing as they are frustrating. Sometimes, your characters end up in another dimension (at least, they might as well be): In…
News Byte: South Park: The Stick of Truth to be released March 2014
South Park: The Stick of Truth to be released March 2014 Ubisoft recently announced that South Park: The Stick of Truth, will be delayed…again…until March 2014. This comes after a previous announcement that the game would be released this December. Has the perpetual wait destroyed any hopes you have for this game, or do you…
