Putting Yourself in the Game, or Not…or Never
Joining with masses, I recently took advantage of PlayStation’s holiday sale in picking up Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Online Edition. Outside of the online extras, it was a good deal, and it would finally allow my husband and I to play side-by-side in Los Santos. (Which we’ve been doing, hoo boy, it is ever…
Resonance: Astral Observatory
Out of all the games I’ve played, no game connects with me emotionally quite like Majora’s Mask. My first exposure to the game was the short-lived playthrough Mother Duck started on our brand new Nintendo 64. She only completed the beginning of the game, up until you get your ocarina back from Skull Kid. Intimidated…

The Road to Resistance is Paved with Good Intentions in The Outer Worlds
I must admit that I had pretty high hopes for The Outer Worlds when I started playing it late last October. I mostly ignored whatever the big gaming sites had to say about it, preferring, instead, to read the blogosphere’s judgement. Which was roundly positive. Well, mostly. In the midst of reading, I penned a…
A Newcomer’s MediEvil (PS4) Review
I want to start off this review by saying that, no, I have never played the original MediEvil game on the PS1, having been a Nintendo-only sort of gamer back in the 90’s. In fact, my first exposure to the series, in any sort of form, was the inclusion of Sir Daniel in PlayStation All-Stars…
Top 5: Favorite Games Played in 2019
Happy 2020, y’all! With the start of a whole new year with lots of twos and zeroes, it seems more than appropriate to bridge this moment between the end of Listmas and the beginning of a new year in gaming with a festive not-Listmas list post. And that list, the one that is right here,…
Listmas 2019: The Duck’s 6 Favorite Mini Games
For our final week of Listmas 2019, we decided to write about anything we felt like. Ironically enough, the Duck usually doesn’t enjoy mini games. In fact, I often resent it when a game makes me play them in order to progress or to obtain an item I need for 100%. However, having recently enjoyed…
Listmas 2019: Holiday-ing with Games
Christmas, Christmas time is here! And whether you’re still reveling in gifts or looking for a cozy spot to take a nap on this day after, it’s also as good a time as any to pick up a controller and dive into a game or seven. In my household, the season of Christmas and New…
Listmas 2019: The Duck’s Favorite Games to Play Around Christmastime
This week, we’re covering the games we enjoy playing around Christmastime, whether it be alone or with others. I must confess that I don’t have many games that I would specifically play around Christmas, so I’m instead going to largely focus on games that I have played around Christmas (regardless of how much fun was…
