Full of surreal nightmares, players not only have to survive the terrors stalking Silent Hill but find answers to the questions that have haunted the protagonist James Sunderland for several years.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is celebrating its 20-year anniversary today, March 14, 2025. Below, we take a look at how the unusual platformer had a spark unlike anything else in the series.

When fans think of the Donkey Kong series' platforming games, it's easy to consider the timeline as one that began with Rare and its groundbreaking CG graphics in the SNES era before the baton was eventually picked up by Retro Studios with Donkey Kong Country Returns. In Nintendo's history of wacky and inventive ways to play games, there is perhaps nothing quite as bizarre as Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, released in North America in 2005 for GameCube, which gave the iconic ape a stopgap to remember in between the Rare and Retro eras.

The credit can't all go to the Kyoto company though, quite literally so because this was in fact the debut of its newly established EAD (Entertainment, Analysis and Development) Tokyo studio designed to attract new talent from Japan's capital. Even the technology that's front-and-center in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat wasn't created by Nintendo but rather Namco in its 2003 music spin-off Donkey Konga.

Square Enix has announced a crystal-shattering sales milestone for the Final Fantasy franchise. Worldwide, the RPG series has now topped 200 million copies sold, with the achievement apparently coinciding with the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series surpassing 5 million units sold.

The official Final Fantasy account on X shared the Ifrit-sized accomplishment for the series. The post also thanks players for "wherever you joined us on our adventures." The RPG franchise began in 1987 with the original Final Fantasy, with the most recent mainline addition being Final Fantasy XVI in 2023. Last year saw the launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and the remake made its way to PC at the beginning of this year. In fact, the game starring Cloud Strife and crew set a Steam concurrent-players record for the series. The PC release has also led to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth becoming one of 2025's best-selling games so far. It's an intriguing development after Square Enix noted that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Final Fantasy XVI failed to meet sales expectations in September.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series--consisting of the first six mainline games in the franchise--originally launched on PC and mobile devices in 2021. Square Enix then brought the Pixel Remaster series to Switch and PS4 in April 2023, with an Xbox Series X|S release happening in 2024. Speaking of Microsoft, Final Fantasy XIV finally arrived on Xbox Series X|S last year, too. The MMO's success has actually led to Square Enix promising more of its games for Xbox.

Rockstar has released the latest GTA Online update, and part of it involves a St. Patrick's Day celebration.

Everyone who logs into GTA Online now through March 19 will get the Blarney's Stout t-shirt and the matching Blarney's beer hat. You can see both items in the image below. This content is available to players on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the newly launched Enhanced version of GTA 5 for PC.

GTA Online isn't the only popular game celebrating St. Patrick's Day, as the "Clover Craze" event is going on now in the Call of Duty games Black Ops 6 and Warzone.

Since it was first revealed, Rebellion's upcoming game Atomfall has often been compared to Bethesda's Fallout. While both games do share a few similarities--from post-apocalyptic themes to killer robots--Rebellion says the game is more than just Fallout with a British coat of paint.

"Once you play it for a bit, you're like, 'oh, this is its own thing for sure,'" art director Ryan Greene explained to IGN. "And one of our owners, Jason Kingsley, he's a big Fallout fan, so inevitably there was going to be some parallels in that any kind of survival in the apocalypse, immediately Fallout's going to come up as a thing. And those guys are great at what they do. And that's cool. The reality is, here's this very successful franchise and we're version 1.0. To be compared to those guys--thank you very much--yes, we appreciate it because that’s a skillful team that's making that stuff."

Another key differentiator in the game is its lack of a traditional main quest, as players will instead work their way through several interconnected stories that all eventually connect to the overarching mystery of the game. Greene added that Atomfall will even allow you to adopt a non-lethal approach to playing the game, and he's "fairly certain" that the game can be completed without needing to kill a single person.

A new report sheds some light on the situation surrounding the Switch 2's upcoming launch, which is poised to be one of 2025's biggest events in the gaming industry (alongside the debut of GTA 6).

Analyst Serkan Toto told Bloomberg that Nintendo will sell "boatloads" of the Switch 2 in the first few months after launch, "almost regardless of price." Toto also elaborated on what he believes will be some of the Switch 2 games coming in the first year, guessing that Mario Kart 9, a new 3D Mario game, Metroid Prime: Beyond, and Pokemon Legends Z-A will come to the system within the first 12 months.

He also predicted there will "probably" be a Call of Duty game released on Switch 2 in the first year, among other third-party support.

The 2025 Guardian Games began earlier this week in Destiny 2, but that event wasn't the only thing to arrive. Somehow, Bungie accidentally released some of its Rite of the Nine activities prematurely during the latest update. But the good news is that players will be able to keep any of the weapons they earned from completing those activities.

On Bungie's official site, the devs chalked up the error to the will of the Nine, and added that, "Their will is their own." The company went on to explain that the Rite of the Nine activities accidentally leaked in Update 8.2.5 were in an extremely early state with temporary art and "fake perk rolls." The final versions of those activities will be more refined, and optimized for Explorer, Eternity, and Ultimatum modes.

Luckily, Bungie accepted the mistake with good humor, and noted that the early-bird weapons won't be removed from anyone's inventory. That said, the weapons will be modified a bit to prevent any rule-breaking combos. And they will be available when Rite of the Nine launches some time after the beginning of Heresy Act III.

Konami is alerting players that Silent Hill f features a range of potentially upsetting topics, including depictions of gender discrimination, child abuse, bullying, drug-induced hallucinations, torture, and graphic violence. A notice on the game's website mentions this, along with Konami's statement about how the content in the game does not reflect the opinions of people involved with making the game. This all came about as part of the Silent Hill Transmission livestream where a new trailer also debuted.

"This game is set in Japan in the 1960s and contains depictions based on the customs and culture of that time. These depictions do not reflect the opinions or values of the developers or any individuals involved," Konami said. "If you feel uncomfortable at any point while playing, please take a break from playing or speak to someone you trust."

Silent Hill f carries an M rating from the ESRB. The ESRB's ratings description says the game's cutscenes show "gore and more intense acts of violence," including a character being burned alive; a woman being branded with a hot iron; and a character cutting someone's face open.
