Do You Really Have to Oxygenate the Water in Jolly Roger’s Lagoon?

I’ve played Banjo-Tooie countless times over the years.  And so it’s hard to make one of my favorite games of all time feel fresh.  Partly, this is because I tend to do the same thing every single time.  For example, I always head left upon entering Terrydactyland and climb the vine behind the waterfall.  This…

The Duck’s 2026 Gaming To-Do List

Last week, I wrote about how and why I didn’t play any games released in 2025.  And yet, as we begin 2026, it appears the trend will likely stay the same.  But I’ve still got plenty of games, or at the very least, general categories of games that I’d like to play during the upcoming…

Hat’s Most Anticipated Games for 2026

Now that 2025 is over and the reflections on its best games are done, the time has finally come to look ahead to what’s coming down the pike this year. I’m not yet sure how 2026 will stack up against the past couple of years, but it’s definitely got potential. There’s a ton that I…
