It’s difficult to describe the past decade in gaming in a nutshell, especially when you throw the pandemic in to the mix. For much of the decade, it seemed the industry was on a certain trajectory, which unexpectedly shot off into the stratosphere and is now just normalizing. If there’s anything good to say about…

The Duck’s Top 5 Events of the Decade: From Sketchy Practices to Movies and Beyond
For the Duck’s own list of the top 5 most important gaming events of the last decade, I’ve got a mix of good and bad. On one hand, certain companies have gotten greedier than ever.

We’re in this Together – Maintaining Motivation
When we were considering weekly topics for our grand anniversary, this question of “what’s kept us going?” seems like an obvious one to include. In a world where blogs come and go (so quickly sometimes, it’s hard to keep up!), longevity is something of a “golden egg.” Did it just happen that the three of…

A Wild Ride: The Past Decade in Gaming
It’s kind of hard to believe that ten-plus years have already passed since we started Virtual Bastion (then “United We Game”) back in 2013. Our little space on the net isn’t quite what it was in the beginning, but I like to think that we haven’t changed all *that* much over the course of the…

Oddworld: Soulstorm: Demo Review
I first heard of Oddworld when I saw an advertisement for Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee on the back of a poster for Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge. (Betcha didn’t know there was a Banjo-Kazooie game for the GBA!) The series remained in the back of my mind for the ensuing 20 years until I found the demo for…
