The best games we saw during the Day of the Devs showcase
Snap and Grab is a slick-looking action puzzle game that mixes Ocean's Eleven with Miami Vice. Set in the hyper neon aesthetic of the '80s, Snap and Grab lets you live out your master thief fantasies. Case the joint with your camera, taking pictures of the merchandise you wanna steal while also snapping pics of the people, places, and things that'll help your team get the goods and get out. Coming next year to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles.
Big Walk
It's time to take a gander at the next game from Untitled Goose Game developer House House. In Big Walk, House House combines the peacefulness of a walking simulator with the wacky hijinks of multiplayer party games. You and your friends will take a… well, big walk through the countryside finding and solving puzzles using the game's unique proximity voice and text chat feature.
Sword of the Sea
Sword of the Sea is from the makers of Abzu and The Pathless. It's a skateboarding exploration narrative game in which you cruise around a desert world doing flips off dunes and sandy half-pipes. Sword of the Sea features music by Austin Wintory and very much reminds me of Sable and Journey, but with a Tony Hawk twist.
Escape Academy 2
I loved the first Escape Academy and I'm incredibly geeked that the team at Coin Crew Games is back with a sequel. In Escape Academy 2, the developers gave the people what we wanted: a bigger school with even more puzzles to solve. And now, instead of selecting levels, you can find the puzzles yourself in an open-world explorable academy filled with secrets and clues. Unfollow me now, this is gonna be the only thing I talk about for the next week.
Dosa Divas
Dosa Divas from Thirsty Suitors developer Outerloop Games is a spicy RPG that'll make you hungry. In the game, you collect recipes and use them in cooking minigames to make food for people who have been overcome by a violent case of the itis. Dosa Diva 's turn-based combat features dodges and parries, which makes the game well situated to take advantage of the turn-based RPG hype generated by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Consume Me
Never before has a game attacked me so violently, but in a way that still makes me really want to play it. Consume Me is a coming-of-age story that pays homage to the unique hell of being a teenage girl. Stress about your grades (rude), crushes (also rude), and weight (RUDE AS FUCK!) via a collection of WarioWare -esque minigames. This game looks like it'll cause me a unique amount of stress. I can't wait.
Possessor(s)
Heart Machine, maker of Hyper Light Drifter and this year's Hyper Light Breaker, is back with its next game, Possessor(s). In the game, you play as Luca, who has been forced into cooperation with the demon Rhem. Luca uses Rhem's powers to fight demons that have invaded their city. Together the two must solve the mystery of their world while exploring their ruined city in a search action adventure game (what the kids are calling Metroidvanias these days).
Relooted
Another side-scrolling action game steeped in afrofuturistic fantasy? Don't mind if I do! Relooted is a new game from South African-based developer Nyamakop. It combines endless-runner action with an Indiana Jones -type story. In the game, you and your friends team up to steal your culture's artifacts back from the museums that stole them in the first place. As you run through each location, your friends are standing by, ready to use their powers to clear any obstacles to ensure you've got a smooth path.

Mila Kunis did 'very little eating' while making Black Swan
Mila Kunis barely ate when she was making Black Swan. The 42-year-old actress candidly admitted she had a gruelling diet and exercise regime when working to portray a professional ballerina in the 2010 movie, which was directed by Darren Aronofsky and also starred Natalie Portman. Mila told Vogue magazine: "My prep was a lot of dancing and very little eating — which I know you're not supposed to say, but it's the truth. I drank a lot of broth and danced for 12 hours a day. "We were only supposed to have three months of prep before filming started, but we lost some financing, so that got extended to six months while Darren tried to find money. "It sucked for Darren, but Nat and I were so happy because we had three extra months to dance." And the intense shoot also saw Mila sustain a number of injuries, including one which left her afraid she would have to leave the production. She said: "We would shoot those dancing scenes for hours, and I had bruises all over my ribs just from being lifted over and over again. "I also dislocated my shoulder pretty early in the production and thought I was completely screwed, but Darren sent me to an acupuncturist and I somehow came out totally fine." Although Darren tried to pit Natalie and Mila - who were friends before being cast - against one another during the shoot in a bid to aid their performances, the two actresses quickly realised his tactics. The director said: "My take is that I was trying to be a sneaky director and make them argue. Mila and Natalie both realised very quickly what I was doing and made fun of me, so it quickly became a joke that we all understood. They're both very clever and were instantly privy to whatever trick I was playing. Do you guys remember it differently?" Natalie, 44, replied: "I remember being separated from Mila and that we weren't in the same space a lot when we weren't shooting. Darren made some comment early on, like, 'Ya know, Nat, Mila's dancing so well.' "And I was like, 'Of course she is! She's so f****** talented and I love her so much and I'm happy she's doing a great job!' " Mila added: "Darren would tell me, 'Nat is working really, really hard. She's not even taking Saturdays and Sundays off.' Then I would text Nat and she'd be like, '…No, I'm not?' "I think that's how we figured out what Darren was up to, but it was all in good fun."

Kristen Bell on Why Audiences Swoon Over That First ‘Nobody Wants This' Kiss: ‘Comfort Can Be Incredibly Passionate'
Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) are back for Season 2 of 'Nobody Wants This,' and the show's cast and producers hint that there will be changes to their relationship after the Season 1 finale. 'Joanne and Noah are now at a place in their relationship for Season 2 where they're asking each other different questions,' creator and showrunner Erin Foster revealed at the inaugural Televerse event, hosted on Aug. 15 at the J.W. Marriott L.A. Live. 'Everyone's been in the first couple months of a relationship, and everyone's past the threshold where you ask if you and your partner are going to dinner with each other's families or if you are going to cohabitate with one another. There's all of these teeny, tiny things that link you closer to someone else.' More from Variety 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 First Look: Kristen Bell and Adam Brody's Love Faces More Tests - Will Joanne Convert to Judaism? 'Bones' Reunion, Henry Winkler Acting Class Set for TV Academy's Televerse Festival Next Month 'Nobody Wants This' Casting Team Used Clips of Adam Brody and Kristen Bell's Past Projects: 'Everyone Could See the Chemistry Right Away' During the panel, actress Jackie Tohn teased what is next in store for her character, Esther, who is married to Noah's older brother, Sasha (Timothy Simons). 'We delve a lot deeper into everybody, because we have more time to do that,' she said. 'I think Esther is realizing in Season 2 that she wants to have a good time like Noah and Joanne, and to not have self-imposed bad times.' 'Nobody Wants This' follows Joanne, an agnostic podcast host who finds herself falling in love with Noah, an unconventional rabbi. The two begin to question their growing affection for one another and if they can make romance work between the two. In Season 1's first kiss scene, Bell and Foster revealed the intimacy behind the kiss and why it went viral online. 'In the [first kiss] moment, it is meant to give the audience the passion of like these two people and their comfort together, because comfort can be incredibly passionate,' said Bell. 'It's a deep, beautiful emotion, and we don't associate it with kissing very much.' Added Foster: 'I think that as sometimes as women, there's sort of a universal language that we all know with each other. We have a responsibility when we're creating something that we are telling the narrative of romance to young women. And a lot of it is, have you know their habits that you sort of don't want to emulate, and the idea of showing women a healthy relationship. Sometimes as a woman, we want men to talk to us like we're a little delicate and strong, and to support us.'

She shared the photo with the caption reading, 'Baby's got good taste @dior.' As you can see in the snapshot, we see her son rummaging through her Dior bag. We see his lil curls, as well as how big he's gotten! (When did he start standing?!) Now, this rare photo not only delighted fans, but it drew some comparisons to the Disney version of Hercules. One of the top comments was from a fan who commented a GIF from the beloved Disney movie, where Hercules was a baby; and honestly? We totally see the resemblance. For those who don't know, Daddario and Form started dating in 2020 during a chance encounter during the COVID-19 pandemic. By June 2022, they were married, and then she became the stepmother to Form's two sons (whom he welcomed with ex-wife Jordana Brewster): Julian, born in 2013, and Rowan, born in 2016. On July 10, 2024, Daddario announced that she and Form were expecting a child together. Then on Oct 31, she announced they had welcomed their child together. Then, in a previous interview with People back in Feb 2025, she made rare comments about her son. 'Fashion Week is a breeze compared to a hungry little baby,' she joked. 'I'm very lucky. He's a great baby. He's just brought so much joy and peace in my life, so I recommend it to anyone who wants a kid.'
