Hello, everyone, and welcome to the duck’s first Listmas list. I enjoy lists, whether it’s keeping track of all my games (in order from best to worst, of course) and realizing that my collection might be getting a wee bit enormous or marking things off a list and knowing that I’m getting one step closer to a goal. And so when I found out there was an actual little holiday where I got to list stuff, I then got to thinking about what I wanted to list (as was the logical next step in that sequence of events). And I eventually came up with the idea to list the things I don’t like about games I like. Here I go. Continue reading Merry Listmas: Things I Dislike About Games I Like

The Duck’s Top Five: Items from the Legend of Zelda Series
Now it’s the Duck’s turn to list my top five items from “The Legend of Zelda” series (in order from least favorite to top favorite). I grew up with this series, and it is still one of my favorite series of all time, with the puzzles to solve and the dungeons to explore, not to mention the variety of items you can use, from the ordinary, like the Bow and the Slingshot, to the unique, like the Hookshot and the Lens of Truth, to the bizarre, like the Spinner and the Gust Bellows. When I thought over my top five items for this post (items from “A Link to the Past”, “Ocarina of Time”, “Majora’s Mask”, “Wind Waker”, “Twilight Princess”, and “Skyward Sword” were considered), several sprung immediately to mind, but a few took a bit more thinking before I could narrow it down to which items I liked the most. But, I finally succeeded (earning myself a Heart Container for my hard work). Behold, the Duck’s…list! Continue reading The Duck’s Top Five: Items from the Legend of Zelda Series
The 5 Best Unusual Zelda Items
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m a major Zelda fan! I love the stories, the gameplay, the way they manage to mix in a bit of the familiar with something new for each entry in the series. It’s usually everything I could want in a game.
What’s intrigued me about the series for a long time is how they manage to keep the dungeons feeling fresh in each and every game, since it’s always the same formula. Link enters dungeon, finds unique item, uses item to progress through dungeon. It’s a simple construct, so you’d think it would tire easily. However, the series has been going strong for over 15 years now, so I suppose it’s not as fragile as it appears at first glance.

Top 5 Most-Memorable Sly Cooper Bosses
The Sly Cooper series introduced us to quite a few colorful enemies during its tenure on the PS2. From pirate frogs to clockwork birds, if you can think of an unlikely combination of animal-criminal, you’ve probably seen it while playing one of the Sly Cooper games. With such a arrangement of baddies, you’re bound to have some standouts, characters so out there or cool that you can’t help but remember them.
