5.    Spelunky

The original game was released on PC in 2008 and is available to play for free.  It’s much more than a port of the original game, and has new graphics, music, zones, monsters, items, traps, and secrets. The controls are much smoother, too, and designed specifically for the gamepad.

In Spelunky, you play an intrepid explorer intent on securing treasure in the most sadistic series of caves ever. Spelunky’s levels are all procedurally generated, so you’ll never play the same game twice. Challenging games may stress you out, but the reward is always worth the struggle to master them.

You can purchase this updated version of Spelunky for $13.49, a 10% discount available until Aug. 15.

6.     Mario and Luigi: Dream Team

Mario and Luigi are characters that lend themselves to any type of game, but some of the best-loved are their series of RPGs on handheld systems.

Badges make a return in Mario and Luigi: Dream Team. As in the previous installment, Mario and Luigi can each equip one badge at any given time. When combined, two badges create a unique combo effect, useful in battles. Mario and Luigi each have six badge slots, resulting in 36 possible combos. Some badges are provided during your adventure and others must be purchased at special badge shops located in Pi’illo Castle, Dozing Sands, and Wakeport for $39.99.
