    Digital Down-Low for 02/05/2022: Don't Believe the Lies

    Remember Kids; all top scientists agree; there's no such thing as spiders. This weeks selection is pretty slight, so I'm going to start with what is easily my favorite title; Yeah Yeah Beebiss 2. You may not remember the original Yeah Yeah Beebis, and that's because it didn't exist. That didn't...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/29/2022: I Want to Be The Very First, Because No One Ever Was

    Ask your doctor if video games are right for you Reverie Knights is the first thing I saw for this weeks thread so GUESS WHAT, that's what I'm yabberin' on about first! It's an SRPG that, if I'm inferring properly, is inspired at least somewhat by Banner Saga, except more of a fantasy novel and...

    Digital Down-Low 01/22/2022: Frisbee is a Registered Trademark

    I think my favorite part of video games is all the buttons you can press when you play them. My favorite is "A" Kicking things off with Shadowman Remastered, a... apparently pretty dang robust re-jiggering of everybodys somebodys anybodys favorite Tecmo game from the PS1 era. You know, besides...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/14/2022: ESP stands for EXTREME SPACE PERIL

    Do you know what all of this weeks new games have in common? That's right; they were made with computers! The hip new invention everyone is talking about! Kicking off with... the first thing I noticed when I pulled up the eShop this morning, we have Radirgy Swag! It's a shmup-em-up set in the...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/08/2022: Set Sail for Adventure

    Now that we live in the far-flung future of 2022, all the games are made of video! Kicking things off with a few releases that slipped through the cracks of the Holiday lull, we have Eufloria, an artsy-style flowers-em-up that was originally released back on PS3, I think? It's a low-fi RTS...

    Digital Down-Low Year End Extravaganza: Yule. Tide. Repeat.

    Merry Christmas, you beautiful old savings and loans! Kicking things off with the game most receptive of the thread title; Twelve Minutes! A Time-loop whodunnit where you're stuck reliving the last twelve minutes of your life when a cop breaks into your house, accuses your wife of murder and...

    Digital Down-Low for 12/09/2021: Twooooo Gamey Riiiiiiiings

    Boy, kind of hope no other ring-themed video games sneak out this week; or that thread title is going to be abject nonsense. And the first of those, and the reason I opted to name the thread that at all despite it not being on a platform I normally cover, is Halo Infinite! Which is, by...

    Digital Down-Low for 12/04/2021: Dreaddy Bears Picnic

    Okay, your teacher called in sick today, I'm your substitute. We're watching a movie. Guardian of Lore is how I choose to start things this week by strength of it being listed first. What we have here is a troid-em-up starring a BOOK NERD tasked with learning all about ancient and lost...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/26/2021: Stirfrys Lament

    Well, it's the Grey Tuesday before the Red Thursday that precipitates Black Friday, so of course the idea isn't to release NEW video games but to release drastic sales on OLDER video games. All of which is to say; thin week. That being said, this week isn't empty, and we have one that just...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/20/2021: Pearls Before Sproink

    Not a very dense week this week, but on the other hand, two of the most popular series overall got new releases this week, so... I guess there's not much sense in crowding this particular weeks new release list. ANYHOW; while I normally stick with eShop releases, since that's easiest to...

    Volnuts Roasting on an Open Fire: It's MEGAMAS 2021!

    Every Elf in the North Pole Liked Christmas a Lot But Wily, in his Skull Castle, He certainly did not He never got presents No piano lessons or egg beaters He had no itchy sweaters Or bobble heads of world leaders You know the reason why The cause is not well furled He's always on the Naughty...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/12/2021: RPG either stands for "Real Pal-Gals" or "Revenge: Pan-Galactic"

    Playing a Video Game? Phht, okay Boomer. Kicking things off this week with the first thing to present itself on my new-release list; Blue Reflection: Second Light. The sequel to a game which I infer being about a bunch of high school students who discover they're all a bunch of Sailor Moons and...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/05/2021: Where Monsters Roam

    I don't want to tell you how to do your business, but I think this weeks new games might work better if they were video. Unpacking is a reverse Tetris about generally tidying up your home after you move into it. It's one of those video games about doing chores, which makes me look around my...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/29/2021: Cloudy, with a Chance of Spaceballs

    Hell BOILS, GHOULS, and Non-BOOnary people! It's your old pal Octopus SLIME here to tell you all about this Halloweens scariest crop of AAAH new releases! Make sure you have your MUMMY check all this weeks new video games before you eat them! All these new Treats might be TRICKS! Well, first...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/22/2021: Spooked Right Down to My Dracula-Bones

    Merry Wednesday Eve, everyone! Make sure you leave milk and cookies out for Odin tonight so that Tuesday will end properly! Leading the charge this week is actually something what snucked out last week, which is appropriate because it's the remasters of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 (either...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/15/2021: You can be very good, like few have ever done. Meeting them is your job, and you beat them like a drum

    A video game? In this day and age? Just imagine what the neighbors will think! First and possibly most prominently, we have Disco Elysium, which I recall everyone being really deeply invested in a year or two ago (and which I constantly confused with Sayonara Wild Hearts, because which of those...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/09/2021: Cool Guys Crawling Through Space

    Derek. Derek! No! Take that video game out of your mouth, Derek! You don't know where it's been! Derek! DEREK!! NO! Naturally, the big news today is the final Smash Brothers reveal (in one hour from this writing), but what if you're impatient and want your new Smash Brothers game NOW, as...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/02/2021: The Witching Season Begins

    Four out of five doctors recommend their patients choose "video" when it comes to playing games. Dandy Ace is the latest game that looked at Hades' runaway success and said "I wanna do that too!". In this case, it at least went for a different theming, as you're a close-up magician tasked with...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/24/2021: All Roads Lead to HFIL

    I can't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate my Birthday Week than by showing off all the BRAND NEW VIDEO GAMES that are to exist in it! And we're kicking things off with what may be the all time champion of bad timing for these threads; Diablo II: Resurrected a gussied up (but...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/18/2021: Tiny Hawk: Pro Skater

    This is one of those weeks where you're better off just tossing your wallet away; you won't have anything left to keep in it. Kicking off with something stealth-dropped last week, and which I'd been excited for since it was announced; Lost in Random, an RPG that looks all Beetlejuice-y, and is...
