I played the original Spelunky back in college and really enjoyed the challenging and engaging gameplay utilizing rogue-like mechanics such as randomized levels.  It's still an Action-Platformer at core, but with a lot of randomization.  With that, every playthrough has its unexpected encounters with trap placements, enemy spawn, and item drops.  Over the years, the team had worked on a new version and released it on XBLA last year and has finally made its debut back on the PC yesterday on Steam.  With the new version, the graphics are in HD, new content has been added, and new modes are available.  There's even a local co-op mode and competitive multiplayer!  If you're not sure if you'll enjoy the game, the original game can still be downloaded and played for free on their main site by clicking "Play the Original!" and see if you like the original.  Spelunky is now available on Steam and GOG for a discounted price of $13.49 and will return to its original price of $14.99 on August 15th.
