For the curious, we're going into March like a lion. A big, hurty, lion.

I thought this thing was supposed to cover a lot of Thursday releases. We could have delayed it until tomorrow.

Thursday has a plurality, but not a majority like most weeks. There's even the dreaded Saturday release. Things I'm watching for: Trials Rising (which has a review up now), Treasure Stack, and Toe Jam & Earl as another one of those games I played at PAX East a couple of years ago.

Even more music for your fingers to dance to.

VOEZ version 1.6 has been released and adds 16 new songs to Rayark's colorful rhythm game. As is the usual for VOEZ's music library the songs cover a variety of genres including classic rock, EDM, and pop.

The full list of new songs:

- "Angel Wing" by uma

- "energy" by yourmythos

- "Festival Lights" by Mr. Fantastic

A decade and a half of names taken and asses kicked.

"Oh, this is gonna be a light week." "Why must you turn this news section into a house of LIES?"

So much for the easy week, huh?

Yeah, I'm never believing that again. I think the list nearly doubled between the Direct and people who think shadowdropping stuff on Thursday/Friday is a good idea.
