From reimagined classics to cult favourites and bombastic new entries, it’s a great chance to fill those library gaps.

This Day in Gaming 🎂In retro news, I’m celebrating the 38th birthday of a true great, Super Mario Bros., on the Nintendo Entertainment System. My first life-for-life playthrough at a friend’s place blew me away. Every stage we conquered in the “back 4″ worlds of this save-less odyssey felt like a murder gauntlet survived. Every secret pipe or warp room we found—unaided by the non-existent Internet—was a cave of wonders unearthed.

To this day, the infectious melodies and subtle physics of this 2D platformer still feel apex to me, and I can honestly say nearly four decades have done nothing to dilute my hatred of that spike-slinging Lakitu. Or, as my friend called him for some reason, Pompous Cloud.

The original cloud gaming experience was brutal.This Day in Gaming

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

On Xbox Series X, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II builds on the no-magic realism of its predecessor. Historical consultant Jirí Rýdl helped lock down period-accurate swordplay and Czech geography.

PS5 gets wild with Dragon’s Dogma 2, where your AI companions, called Pawns, memorise dungeon layouts and monster weaknesses based on your playstyle.
