Thank your own personal deity--possibly Jubileus the Creator--it's another Friday! Feeling the chill this June? It’s the perfect excuse to load up on games and stay tucked in. From monster slayers to surreal indies, there’s something here to heat up every genre appetite.
This Day in Gaming ?
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 34th birthday of Dr. Mario, gaming's most trusted and beloved antivirus software. The brainchild of producer Gunpei Yokoi, creator of the Game Boy and Game & Watch, and Metroid series creator Takahiro Harada, I fondly recall Dr. Mario for its simple addictiveness and earworm tunes that were way more infectious than the virii I was eliminating with drop-block pills.
