    Digital Down-Low for 05/10/2024: All Cats Go To Heaviside

    I think the universal desire of anyone is for a stranger to look at them and think "That person commands a fleet of fishing vessels". So we're leading off with the second attempt to make Pac-Man a battle royale game; Pac-Man Chomp Champs! But, unlike with Pac-Man 99, this one only supports 64...

    Digital Down-Low for 05/03/2024: Gods Above and Seas Below

    Sorry to all the "haters" out there but, uh yeah, this is a week with some new video games. Starting off with one of the more surprising re-releases of recent days, we have El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, a gussying up of the PS3/360 era Bayonetta-em-up of the same name! It's one of the...

    Digital Down-Low for 04/26/2024: Death Crab for Cutie

    I honestly don't remember the last time a single week was this overloaded with stuff that makes me go "Oooooooh!" So we're going to kick off with the only thing that makes me go "ooooh" that is *not* on the Switch, because otherwise I'll forget about it and that is Sandland. The video game...

    Digital Down-Low for 04/20/2024: Never Stop the ~Hustle

    Congratulations to everyone who drank a full liter of water yesterday. Everyone else; I’m personally disappointed in you. This week isn’t especially leaden with new stuff worthy of hammering on about (though there’s an Indie Direct scheduled for tomorrow), and that’s okay because next week is...

    Digital Down-Low for 04/05/2024: Clever Girls

    If you rank the Ghostbusters movies based solely on the average height of the main cast in each, the results *may* surprise you. So it's a small release schedule this week, but it's definitely leading with strength, as it's kicking off with a game I was completely all in on the moment it was...

    Digital Down-Low for 03/29/2024: I Dare You To Name a Funnier Cat

    Psst, hey kid... you wanna buy a video game? Walking into the bar and decking the single meanest looking guy they can find this week is South Park: Snow Day, the third of the South Park RPGs! The first two were legit good (albeit characteristically crass) RPGs that made good use of the...

    Digital Down-Low for 03/23/2024: Budget Fashion

    I don't want to be caught by the Cancel Police, but I don't think it's controversial to say that a sandwich is a kind of food So half the games I thought are worth mentioning this week are also dirt cheap, and fully half of THAT number is represented by Power of Ten, a space-shippy pew-pew...

    Digital Down-Low for 03/15/2024: Cyber-Astro Terror Awaits!

    I feel that, if I were ever invited to be the special guest on a very special episode of an ABC TGIF sitcom, I would learn a very important lesson. Or else I would teach one. No time for flouncing around like Buster Brown, returned from the grave; this is a big week chock full of video games...

    Digital Down-Low for 03/09/2024: Fireballs and Lightning are Raining from the Sky.

    What’s you‘re favourite stock sound effect. I have to say it’s the “sproi-oi-oi-oing” you get when a cartoon watch falls apart It’s the start of March, which traditionally comes in like a lion, and therefor, we’re kicking things off with Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Remastered. The eShop describes...

    Digital Down-Low for 02/23/24: Fate is in the cards

    Okay, there's a Direct that's airing in the middle of me writing this thread, so *for ocne* I feel like I won't be blindsided by a surprise release after the fact. We're kicking off with not one, but two Deck Building Roguelites this week, and, both alphabetically and by release date, that...

    Digital Down-Low for 02/16/2024: This Peace Is What All Warriors Strive For!

    Ahh, it's Valumtimes Week, a time when little archer-babies are blasting people with arrows so people fall in love with them through brute-forced Munchhausen syndrome. So, whether you've got the wuv of your l'il sweetiedumplin, or the aaaaromantic love you'd have for a big bowl of popcorn...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/26/2024: I'm Going on an Adventure!

    Take it from an expert, it's not as easy as it looks to eat an entire fire hydrant. Screeching to a halt outside your house and screaming "Get in the car, loser!" this week is Lil Guardsman, which is a point and clicky talk-em-up style adventure game, inspired by the likes of Papers Please...

    Digital Down-Low for 01/19/2024: Corporate Psynergy

    No matter what lies your parents taught you, I can not stress this enough, snails are simply *not good at jumping*. We're starting off with the Nintendo Switch Online release! It's a release for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion pass, which costs more than the regular pass but it has far...

    The Digital Down-Low MERRY SQUISHMAS WINTERTAINMENT-STRAVAGANZA 2023

    Ho Ho Ho, Merry Middle of December, when new video game releases largely dry up until the middle of January. So fill yourself with some mustarded' up crumbs of cheese and sell all your hair for chains you can fight off hairy mountain hermits with. That's the true meaning of Squishmas. Jumping...

    Digital Down-Low for 12/08/2023: An Inauspicious Pumpkin

    Du-Wop-bop-a-doo-wop-do-wop-bam-boom Skittering out from under your cupboard to snatch a few crumbs from a cookie jar this week is a surprise release from last week! Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, a gussied up and slightly re-squiggled up remaster of, you guessed it, Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion...

    Digital Down-Low for 12/01/2023: I Want You To Tell Your Friends to Mine For Me

    You can really tell how close the Beastie Boys are from the way they finish each others sentences. Showing up, like, a half hour before you expected them to come and just sitting on your couch eating your snacks while you're in the bathroom this week is Gothic II: Complete Classic, and would...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/24/2023: Recursive Polarities

    Do you ever think that some games are a little *too* video? So we're going to kick things off with something that actually got a surprise release two weeks ago, and which I neglected to include last week because that week was particularly dense; can't nobody say that Octo never does his due...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/17/2023: Like the moon over / the day my genius and brawn /are lost on these fools

    I don't care how sharp its teeth are; a venus fly trap simply can not survive the weight of a full grown Italian man jumping on to it from any height. Sneaking in to your house late at night and turning all your TVs to rubber hose cartoons like the Babadook this week is Karmazoo, a...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/10/2023: Harrier? I Barely Know 'er!

    Are... are venus flytraps delicious? Kicking their legs in the air and yelling "I'm booooooored" during the opening text crawl of a Star Wars movie this week is... a game I have no idea was supposed to exist; Nickelodeon Allstar Brawl 2, the sequel to the Smash Brothers alternative that nobody...
