Duck Detective and the Secret Salami might be the perfect weekend gaming pick. It’s adorable, easy to pick up, and has some great voice acting. I don’t know what took me so long to get around to this, I remember hearing about it back when it came out, but like many smaller games and indie games that sound cool, when you have the time to play a new game you’ve already forgotten about it!

Lately I seem to be in the mood for games that are on the short side. I recently played through the first Duck Detective game, and when I saw that Europa, which was on my wishlist, had gone on sale, I figured this was the time to try it.

I remember when I first saw screenshots of Ghostbusters II for the Game Boy in Nintendo Power. I stared at those small pictures and thought of how cool it looked, the chibi forms of the Ghostbusters made them recognizable, and the two-buster method of one person zapping, the other trapping made a good deal more sense than the NES’ attempt of simply shooting ghosts with the slime blower until they disappeared. I was hardcore into…
