According to a new report from Adobe Analytics, video games and consoles are predicted to be major contributors to holiday spending in the US this year. The report highlights seven popular gaming products expected to be in high demand for the 2025 holiday season.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion throws players into an epic space battle against Annihilus, who is trying to conquer the universe with an army of alien bugs. The game’s campaign takes you to over a dozen iconic Marvel locations like the Savage Land, Wakanda, and Genosha, facing off against a variety of villains before a final showdown with Annihilus. The campaign features 16 levels, each with a challenging boss. Arcade mode offers a faster experience, condensing the story into 12 levels, and sometimes lets you choose where to play.
Okay, so as a big fan of these kinds of games, I’ll say this: if you’ve never played a beat ’em up before, or aren’t super familiar with Marvel characters, it might take a little getting used to. These games usually start off pretty simple, but they definitely ramp up the difficulty as you go – things can get intense fast!
A fan on Twitter highlighted a funny moment in the movie: when Idris Elba’s character, Chief Bogo, calls Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) a dismissive “orange dog.” Jared Bush, the director of Zootopia 2 and a creative leader at Walt Disney Animation Studios, replied to the fan, explaining that the line was actually improvised by Elba himself.
It appears the cast of Prime Video’s Tomb Raider is growing! Variety reports that Martin Bobb-Semple has joined the series as a main character, though details about who he’ll play are currently being kept secret. Filming for the show is scheduled to start in January.
Alas! The BONK token, once gleaming with promise, has slid a most unflattering 9.32%, now worth a mere $0.000008805. This sad affair represents a continued decline, as the Solana-based memecoin falls to new lows in this most tragic cycle of its existence.
A preview of DC Comics’ Absolute Green Lantern #9 (from Al Ewing, Sid Kotian, Pressy, and Lucas Gattoni) reveals Doctor Steve Dayton hard at work on his new invention, the Mento Device. This technology allows him to connect with a unique and powerful consciousness. However, his assistant, Terry, isn’t who he seems – he’s actually Nemesis, a virtually undetectable assassin who can strike without warning, even when in plain sight.
The team behind popular retro beat ’em ups like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is back with a new game, Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Developer Tribute Games clearly knows the genre, and they’re partnering with publisher Dotemu, who previously worked on hits like Streets of Rage 4 and Absolum. This collaboration makes them the perfect pair to bring this game to life.
Before the new season of SVU premieres in January, Ice-T addressed concerns about his reduced screen time, clarifying it wasn’t related to Kelli Giddish’s return. In a post on Threads, he explained that the decision came from network executives and wasn’t Kelli’s doing, stating, “That’s my girl…” He added that he fully supports the decision and is doing well, thanking fans for their concern.

So, Expedition Project is broken up into three phases, and each one has its own set of challenges. The first one kicked off on October 30th and runs until December 14th.
