"Since PAX East this past year, Divekick has been giving us a fit of giggles with its tongue-in-cheek parody of fighting game tropes. And now that it's out, it's still making us giggle.
If you want to see what the fuss is all about with this fresh take on the fighting genre, it's available on Steam and as a cross-buy title on PS3 and Vita. I'd also say it's worth the price of admission just for its references to Super Mario Bros. 3, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Shenmue II.
PSN users can also pre-order Grand Theft Auto V digitally, which will unlock a whole slew of Rockstar titles for sale. Vita users may want to check out the beta of Killzone Mercenary, which supposedly shows some promise given the Vita's disappointing FPS showing for the past year.
The 3DS' eShop has some Ubisoft sales going on with the likes of Ghost Recon and Rayman Origins, and Wii U users may want to partake in an intense rush of nostalgia with the re-release of the SNES Street Fighter II trifecta.
On the Steam and GOG side of things, you've got both Witcher titles for 75 percent off. You're a monster if you pass that up. Geralt doesn't like monsters.
Finally, Xbox Live's got a few new titles, with Cloudberry Kingdom, Brothers, Charlie Murder and the remake of Flashback making their debut this past week.
For all the rest, hit up the list." - Patrick Kulikowski
Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.
Take-Two Interactive revealed it is pausing development on its Nintendo Switch 2 edition of "Borderlands 4" in its latest quarterly earnings.
O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
