Whether you prefer playing from a first-person or third-person perspective, there are plenty of shooter games to choose from. While 2025 saw a lot of popular action-adventure and indie games, high-quality, action-packed shooter games are still being released.
Bitcoin, that enigmatic digital darling, was lounging at $87,382 on Dec. 27, 2025, flaunting a market cap of $1.74 trillion and trading $30.6 billion in a single day. Not bad for something you can’t even hold in your hand. It spent the day oscillating between $86,673 and $88,965, like a nervous actor pacing backstage before a big performance. Indicators across multiple timeframes-hourly, daily, and everything in between-suggested less certainty and more of a “wait and see” vibe.

Survival horror games usually challenge players to carefully manage limited supplies like ammunition and health. While they often include puzzles and exploration to break up the tension, players are generally more vulnerable than in typical action games, which can make them difficult to get into. Both the difficulty and the intense fear factor can discourage some players. That’s why survival horror games that emphasize action over pure horror are often more approachable and a good starting point for newcomers.
Despite the long wait, fans haven’t lost hope for Half-Life 3. Similar to the anticipation surrounding GTA 6 before its trailer release, gamers often speculate and create theories whenever news or hints about HL3 appear. Recently, rumors suggested an announcement at the 2025 Game Awards, but that didn’t happen, and the game remains unreleased. If you’re a disappointed fan, Black Mesa is a great way to experience the original story – it’s a fan-made remake of the first game created by Crowbar Collective.

Xbox Game Pass comes in a few different levels: Essential, Premium, Ultimate, and PC Game Pass. The Essential plan gives you access to more than 50 games, plus perks like Fortnite Crew, EA Play, and a selection of classic Ubisoft games, but it doesn’t include new releases on day one. The Premium plan offers over 200 games, and while it also doesn’t have day-one releases, it does guarantee that any game published by Xbox will be added to the library within a year of its release. Everything else in the Premium plan is similar to what you get with Essential.
AAA is a Mexican wrestling promotion that began in 1992, known for its focus on ‘luchadores’ – masked wrestlers. In April 2025, WWE bought a majority stake (51%) in AAA, with the entertainment company Fillip owning the remaining 49%. The deal was finalized in August 2025, and WWE has gradually started to feature wrestlers from both promotions as needed. A notable example is Dominik Mysterio, who has become a frequent performer in AAA since the acquisition. He quickly won the AAA Mega Championship in September 2025, making him the first wrestler to simultaneously hold championships in both WWE and AAA. However, despite this increased collaboration, the latest WWE 2K25 video game doesn’t include any wrestlers who are exclusive to AAA.
