So whenever a new one is announced as coming to mobile, my immediate reaction is “sign me the heck up!" The latest case of this phenomenon is with a game called Willy Jetman from Spanish developer Last Chicken Games, which will be making its way to iOS next month courtesy of BadLand Publishing.

PlayStation's Days of Play sale, an annual event that normally runs during E3, has returned this week with deals on PS4 exclusives and more.

That said, Days of Play is still offering great discounts on exclusive games, including MLB The Show 20, Nioh 2, Dreams, and more. Days of Play is live now until June 17, and major retailers are joining in on the
