It seems like nostalgia is hitting mobile game developers hard in recent weeks. Several classic series from the good old days of video games have been flirting with iOS and Android markets, making appearances in the form of official and unofficial ports, for free and for a little cash. Aah, the things we'll do to have every game we've ever loved on every device we can ever own!

June is Indie Developers Are Awesome Month!... or at least, that's the way it seems from the cool new titles coming out in the next few weeks. We remind you of an interstellar sandbox adventure due out this summer, get creeped out by a toddler alone in a dark house, and get set to give you copies of an upcoming technothriller adventure!

Hey, you person with that sexy little mobile device! Uh... how... how are you? Oh gosh, we didn't prepare anything beyond that slick opening line. Time to bail? Or maybe it's time for another TACTICAL MISDIRECTION?!!!! *flashes a laser pointer and runs away*

We'll be honest. This week's Link Dump Friday is going to hurt... your wallet. There are two amazing opportunities for you to pick up some top-notch indie games dirt cheap with one pay-what-you-want bundle and one huge sale! We're also giving away three copies of one of the best adventure stories around in the form of To the Moon, and peeping at some upcoming titles that will keep you gaming into the wee hours.

Ports galore! Mobile markets are a great breeding ground for new and interesting game ideas. They're also ripe for ports and remakes, since almost everybody loves taking their favorite games with them wherever they roam.

Time-travelling monsters? Towering robot centerfolds? Post-apocalyptic P.I.s? Game developers are a crazy bunch, and that's exactly the way we love them! This week's Link Dump Friday features a whole mess of exciting upcoming titles, as well as a BEAST of a giveaway, and two opposing views on the concept of games using free-to-play models.

Dogs and worms dominate the latest edition of Mobile Monday, an entirely unintended coincidence, we assure you! To balance out the slight "ew" factor, have a taste of a cute robot and a new game from the creators of Angry Birds. That should balance things out nicely!

Ponies? Check. Conspiracies? Check. Backstabbing? Check. Contest? Ohhhh yeah. This week's Link Dump Friday brings you a chance to win a copy of a celebrated tower-defense RPG, spotlights some exciting upcoming indie and browser releases, and gives you the chance to interrogate a fashionista.

One of the big controversies surrounding mobile games these days is social media integration. On the one hand, it allows people to share games with friends while helping to promote them, but on the other, we're perfectly capable of telling our pals about good games on our own! One of the games below took a step in the social media direction, and while it certainly added value to the existing experience, it also stirred a bit of controversy amongst its fans.

Love is in the air (and Toronto), the monsters are full of pep and horror, and Nitrome is full of Hot Air... sounds like a great season to me! Link Dump Friday covers an upcoming expansion to a popular, horrifying action roguelike, gets deep with TED, and more!

What's big and green, carries a pair of shoes in its teeth, and has a fondness for fondue? We have no idea, but that sounds like someone we'd want to meet! That person would probably also be interested in our latest round of mobile game news. Because, you know, who wouldn't?!

Pre-orders, ponies, poaching, and p... uh... p-contests! This week's Link Dump Friday has it all. Indie developers are serving up a whole lot of awesome, while one title gets an update, and another gets a release date!

There's always something exciting just around the corner in the mobile world. Actually, there's probably three or four things just around the corner, along with a dozen or two more around the corner after that! And let's not even think about the other corners you passed while walking to this corner. What were you doing in this dark alley, again?

Demos, fair maidens, slashing, cheese, and more await you in this week's Link Dump Friday! As an added bonus, we've also included a special spotlight on a talented young man who's going to make you feel very inadequate about what you had accomplished when you were ten. No, couch cushion forts do not count.

What's going on in the mobile world? It's time to find out! Mobile Monday is evolving, setting the individual game features loose for their own spaces in the spotlight in exchange for news, updates, previews, sales and more. Now you get more mobile reviews while keeping an eye on the biggest and most exciting happenings in the mobile world. Sound like a fair exchange? Good, because here we go!

This week's Link Dump Friday is extra special as we highlight some of the developers at the PAX East Indie Megabooth thanks to the intrepid camera work of our own Steve, who also wrangles an interview from Extra Credits' James Portnow!

Get ready to adventure with Tycho and Gabe again, or find yourself stranded in somewhere cold and hostile, or maybe just save your home from a dark and deadly infestation! There's a whole lot of gaming going on!

Jonas Kyratzes, Baldur's Gate, and Closure? Good news, or GREAT news? This week's Link Dump Friday is drowning in a sea of radness. You wouldn't think rad could be liquefied, but then, not everyone can be a scienmatist like me.

Look at you. Sitting there. All zombie-less. Balloon-less. SLAK-less. It's a real sorry sight. Fortunately, Link Dump Friday is here to solve all that by forcing you to be interested in the same things we're interested in. Yaaaay!

Monsters? Apocalypse? Psychological trauma? Ponies? I don't know about you, but those sound like the makings of a great weekend to me! March is turning into a month jam-packed with big releases for both the casual browser and indie community, and this week's Link Dump Friday features just a few of them we're excited about in addition to an update or two.

The great thing about the internet is that there's something for everyone on it. You like stuffing helpless little animals in airtight balls and forcing them to battle to exhaustion for your enjoyment? You like cackling madly while you orchestrate the downfall of humanity in the most grisly fashion possible? We got that... and you're going on some sort of government watch list. There's a lot of cool stuff coming on the horizon, and here's just some of it we're going to be keeping an eye on.

With all the big exciting console and big-name gaming news happening in March, you might be forgetting about your indie friends, which is terrible, because as this Link Dump Friday clearly illustrates they've been slaving away creating more content. For you. And look at you, you never even say thank you, do you? Terrible. Go write a letter to Princess Celestia this instant... and then catch up on all the indie awesomeness you should be excited about.

Internet, prepare thyself! There's a whole pack of new and amazing games on the horizon, from sci-fi free-roaming sandbox adventures, to complex psychological thrillers, to machines of questionable use, and more! Awwww yeah, we're gonna get our game on this year!

They say no news is good news, but WE DEFY YOU and bring it to you anyway! This week, something scary is happening on the internet, some chick is about to be lit on fire, a baby chicken shows you pretty pictures, and more!

It's-a me, Mario! And William. And Tim. And a whole bunch of other awesome people. This week's Link Dump Friday not only features the usual batch of interesting news, but also features an interview with the one and only Lucas Paakh, creator of the wildly popular William and Sly games.
