Did you know there's a new Mr. Driller coming up? Now that's what I call gaming news! Keep your dark depressing "AAA" bullcrap for you.

The sequel/spinoff series of the classic Dig Dug's getting a new installment, Mr. Driller DrillLand!. on the Switch!

And it looks pretty nice so far:



I'm ordering the Japanese physical release, for sure.

Since I recently got a custom repro of this rediscovered forgotten 16-bit Sonic puzzle game, I decided to make myself a custom cover art, using this lovely artwork from a "Sonic Recolours" parody, source here: fav.me/daop0ce

Time for a review a DC Comics book you probably never heard of. It's an European exclusive! Basically, it's "Where's Waldo Green Lantern?"

Well, I did promise you all more obscure reviews. This is without a doubt the only good thing to ever come out of the awful Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern film.

VGR:Quickies Old school Simpsons games
