Part of why I read reviews is to decide whether or not I should play/buy a game. Games cost money and with a regular 9-6 job my time is limited in what I can play. I have to make that count. Also, I like reading reviews! If I’m going to play a game from start…

My “Deserted Island” Games — Xbox edition
It registers now as kind of odd to me now that we never had an Xbox since we were so on top of the video game consoles of the time. But a close friend of ours owned one, and it was open to use whenever we wanted, so we never actually needed one. I also…
A Demon In Our Midst
Dlc, if you have dabbled in gaming at all during this generation you know what this is. This is the 40-80 dollars you spend after your initial purchase of a video game. We may hate ourselves for it, but we get excited when it’s announced, froth at the mouth and ready our wallets for it’s…
Some Backwards Thinking
Like so many others at the start of a new year, I made a short list of resolutions with the ultimate goal of getting my life in order. At the top of the agenda: clean out my stuff from the parents’ basement. The task was meant to be a sort of gift to my mother,…
Going to the Backlog
Even though I don’t have tons of time to game, I like to keep at least two games in regular rotation at all times. That way, when I have only an hour to play, I don’t spend thirty minutes of it deciding on the game. I also prefer to only play one game per system…
When You Know It’s Right
I’ve been playing Dragon Age II (very slowly) for a couple weeks now and I think, finally, we’ve clicked. How do I know? Because the gameplay and my characters from the game pop into my thoughts when I’m not playing. And when that happens, distracting as it may be, I starting thinking about where I’m…

(The Duck currently has a bunch of posts started but incomplete. My brain is feeling lethargic today. So I am posting below a recent post from my own blog until I get these posts done. I have been writing different topics from the 100 theme challenge, and this is #6. Behold!) Okay, today’s 100 theme…
The Duck Discusses the GCN, PS2, and XBox Generation: Part 2-The Box
Hello, the Duck is back to discuss the next console of the GCN, XBox, and PS2 generation, the hefty, yet powerful XBox. This console was the very first video game console made by Microsoft and so the brand is a relative newcomer. While the console, by virtue of its newness, did not feature classic series that…
The Duck Discusses the GCN, PS2, and XBox Generation: Part 1-The Cubester
Hello, everyone. I see you’ve come to read the Duck’s very first post on United We Game. Well, for my first post, I thought I would start by discussing the pros and cons of a very nice generation of consoles, the time period that gave us Nintendo’s GameCube, Sony’s un-creatively named PlayStation 2, and Microsoft’s…
