The exchange, that labyrinth of algorithmic avarice, conjured $648 million from the void-a figure bloated by 114% compared to its wretched progeny of last year. A testament, perhaps, to humanity’s eternal bargain with Mammon. 🕯️
Here are four shorter games that can satisfy that Elden Ring itch.
The Bank Secrecy Act, a relic from 1970 (when bell-bottoms were still a thing), forces banks, credit unions, and other financial bigwigs to play detective for the feds, sniffing out money laundering, terrorist financing, and other shady shenanigans. 🕵️♀️💼 But let’s be honest, it’s about as effective as a screen door on a submarine.
Usually, Sunderfolk is played with up to four players in a story-driven campaign. You’ll engage in strategic battles with varied objectives, like defeating enemies or defending towers – but with a beetle twist! Outside of combat, you can explore the village, talk to characters, purchase items, and improve your character’s abilities. Previously, there wasn’t a way to quickly jump into a single battle or level for fun, as the game focused on longer campaigns that take several hours to complete.
In Pokémon Legends Z-A, you’ll need to finish the initial tutorial sections and unlock the ability to skip cutscenes before you can catch a Goomy early in the game. Unlocking bench time skipping is essential for finding one soon after starting.
Although streamers have received recognition at events like the Esports Awards and The Game Awards, QTCinderella took the initiative to create an awards show dedicated entirely to online broadcasters, funding it herself.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion will launch on December 1, 2025, for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. A new trailer recently revealed two of the game’s playable characters: Iron Man and Phoenix.
I’ve been eager to see Disney Parks adopt drone shows like the impressive ones at Dollywood and Universal Studios Florida’s Cinesational. So far, the only offering has been the enjoyable, but small-scale, Disney Dreams That Soar at Disney Springs. Now, it looks like drones are coming to another Disney park, and many believe it will be Disneyland.
According to Flix Patrol, the 2001 thriller Don’t Say a Word is now sixth on Netflix’s global list of most-watched movies, and fifth in the US. Currently, it’s just behind the new movie Caramelo, while The Perfect Neighbor remains at the top of the list in first and second place.
Even if the impressive graphics and Marvel universe aren’t enough to get you interested in this game, the developers should be. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is being created by Tribute Games, who also made popular titles like TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge and the soon-to-be-released Scott Pilgrim EX (announced at Summer Game Fest). The game is being published by Dotemu, who recently helped develop the successful indie beat ‘em up Absolum, and have announced future updates for that game as well.
