Thank your own personal deity—possibly the Mother Sphere—it’s Friday! I’m not going to spend too much time waffling this morning, as the deals speak for themselves. Just get in and secure something awesome to play for the weekend. In case I don’t see you, stay safe, save often, and catch you Monday!

Lastly, in retro news, I’m celebrating the 42nd birthday of Dig Dug, an arcade classic. Reports on how it came to be are spotty at best. Wikipedia states it was planned and designed by Masahisa Ikegami, with help from Galaga creator Shigeru Yokoyama…however, I’ve also been told it was created by Larry, the Architect of the Matrix. Ergo, concordantly, vis-à-vis, Lar’ also made Q-bert and came up with the name for Frogger.

It Takes Two

A spectacular co-op adventure that lays down a path of great gameplay ideas and uses it to play a giddy game of hopscotch. It’s beautiful, breakneck-paced, and bubbling over with creativity, and playfulness and experimentation are rewarded at every turn.

If you’ve somehow never played this series before, know that I’m jealous of you. These games are the type that make me wish I had a button to erase part of my brain to allow the re-experiencing of everything all over again. They’re that good.
