It's Friday afternoon and night, which means it's time to get excited because in 12 hours I'll be on a plane. The team heads to the east coast for The Bombathon 2025. Tune in Monday, October 27th at 5:00 pm on Giant Bomb for 24 hours of fun and nonsense. But that's next week, so now it's time to pay tribute to the news champion The Bomb 12 – 12 games that matter to people who actually play games.
Ball x Pit dominated. It's these kinds of results that make you feel bad for choosing not to play the game. Clearly everyone's in the mood for arcade-style action, complete with plenty of running progression. And now this Breakout-like—the latest hit to come out of the Devolver stable—really captures that excitement.
Pokemon Legends (ZA) I was surprised by second place. According to The Pokémon Company International, the game has sold 5.8 million copies. And everyone seems to like it. So how can something so popular end up in second place? I bet a lot of ZA players are also checking out the Ball X Pit.
Then in the content part of the diagram there is a series of killer plays. Ghost of Yotei is a symbol of prestige gaming on the PlayStation, and when a game like this hits the market, millions of people who spent $500 on a PS5 come to get it. Hades II, Battlefield 6, Absolute, Ninja Gaiden 4And Silent Hill f would make a great base for a list of the 10 best games of the year, but these are just a few of the games that came out in the last two months.
