EA's Overlooked Monster Hunter-Like And 7 Other Games On Sale For Just $12
Calling all fans of Monster Hunter, creepy forests, awesome 2D action games, and/or intergalactic warfare, this month's Humble Choice selection is for you.
We are only a few days into a new month. That means all the various video game subscription services out there are refreshing their catalogs to offer some fresh options. And this month's Humble Choice offerings are especially good. For those unaware, Humble Choice is Humble Bundle's $12 a month subscription service that grants you a selection of PC games every month while supporting charity, too.
Here are the eight PC games you get this month if you are Humble Choice subscriber:
Pacific Drive
Homeworld 3
Wild Hearts
Tales of Kenzera: Zau
Gravity Circuit
Sir Whoopass
Racine
Cavern of Dreams
Pacific Drive is a fantastic and creepy car-based survival roguelike game set in the rainy and dark forests of the northwest. Avoid the strange anomalies and get out alive while upgrading your car with supplies you scavenge.
Wild Hearts is a underappreciated and overlooked Monster Hunter clone that streamlines parts of the genre while also introducing some original ideas, too. Released in 2023, Wild Hearts was published by EA and developed by Omega Force, and while it has its fans, it's always felt like this game didn't get the love it deserved. Perhaps now that will change. But then, considering how everyone is playing a new Monster Hunter game, probably not.
The other game I want to highlight is Homeworld 3. We don't get a lot of big budget RTS space games anymore, so it was nice to see this one from Blackbird and Gearbox last year. Sadly, the game isn't great, but as a freebie included with a subscription it might be worth checking out to see if its take on space RTS combat clicks with you.
If you want to grab these games up, you can subscribe to Humble Choice right now and then cancel your subscription later and still keep all of these games.

Summer Game Fest Doesn't Just Try Its Best, It Tries Too Hard
Half a decade into its life, Summer Game Fest still just can't get out of its own way. After a PlayStation showcase earlier in the week, the annual video game promo circuit for the summer began in earnest with that two-hour showcase by the name of Summer Game Fest, which had teases, sequels, and wholly new games galore. Par for the course for SGF and host Geoff Keighley, both of which have endeavored to step up during this decade as the once and glorious trade show king E3 has gradually died off. But this year's carried an odd air about it, even before a Splitgate 2 developer walked onstage with a 'Make FPS Great Again Hat' (really) before smacktalking 'the same Call of Duty' and revealing his shooter's battle royale mode. A lot of that weirdness is because the games industry is going through it right now. It's been over a week since EA killed its Black Panther game and developer Cliffhanger, and industry layoffs have only continued since. Time stops for no one, and since 2023, there've been reductions by the dozens or hundreds, sometimes on a daily, even hourly basis. What we thought was just 'survive til '25' in 2023 or 2024 is now just 'survive' as games and their studios die in the blink of an eye. Combined with what feels like a weirdly muted Nintendo Switch 2 launch and the United States government going through another round of bullshit, of course this trade show feels funky. Other factors to this strange feeling are owed entirely to Summer Game Fest. Never is it more clear when the industry is chasing trends than an event like this, which had plenty of souls and roguelikes and shooters of the space, competitive, and extraction variety. The two genres' popularity seemed to wear on viewers and remind us how we easily tire of things we once liked. Compared to PlayStation's showcase earlier in the week, SGF also felt less consistent in what it had to offer: Resident Evil Requiem and Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver were agreeable highs, other trailers seemed to show up to be polite or didn't really land. More problematically, five years in, Summer Game Fest still feels like it has no real identity of its own beyond an extension of the annual year's end Game Awards. Those ceremonies and accompanying game reveals have a substantially different energy thanks to musical performances, celebrity appearances and usually delightful Muppet gags. Without those, SGF feels less 'fun,' for lack of a better word. It wants to be E3, but the big pressers we tuned in for could sometimes be bad as figureheads for game publishers were high off their own supply or overindulged in nonsense they seemed to think was funny. This can't be that, both because publishers have their indvidual, more regular showcases, and it doesn't want to be perceived as disrespectful to the medium and its audience happy to receive recognition but not the criticism that comes with it. Previously, Keighley has caught flack for failing to properly acknowledge the industry's struggles, or doing so in a clumsy manner. This year's Summer Game Fest opened with him highlighting 2025's current crop of best-selling games, some of which came from teams much smaller than your average triple-A studio. Expedition 33's been the biggest and worst offender of this 'honor'; since the RPG's reveal and launch, it's been lauded as a triumph for a developer with a headcount in the small dozens. But its seven-minute credits show that's not the true story: yes, Sandfall has 33 or 34 employees, but it also had third-party animators, QA contractors, and localizers (and more!) that helped make for a fantastic debut title. Keighley's stressing of those small teams—one guy made a brawler with just the help of nine of his friends!—turns what was likely a well-intentioned acknowledgment of into additional fuel for the fiery divide between indie and triple-A developers at a bad time for both. The narrative around game development (and who makes them) is bad enough thanks to ongoing layoffs and increased player harassment, and this will likely exacerbate things. It's a moment that best represents the double-edged sword of Summer Game Fest's prominence and this particular industry figurehead: sooner or later, amid all the flash and celebration this window into the industry provides, someone sours things by putting their foot in their mouth.

Texas to be paid based on how often users play with Longhorns on EA College Football 26
Texas to be paid based on how often users play with Longhorns on EA College Football 26 The University of Texas will be paid based on how many users play EA College Football 26 using the Longhorns. The "play-for-pay" model is a change on the way the video company pays for Name Image Likeness (NIL) rights to participating schools. According to Matt Liberman of beginning on the game's release on July 10, all 136 FBS schools that opted into the game will be compensated by their popularity with gamers. 'For each CFB product released by EA SPORTS, we (CLC Learfield) will provide a percentage for each institution based on the games played for that institution as a percentage of the total games played across all institutions. This percentage of games played will become the final allocation percentage for each school that will be applied to the total gross royalties for all institutions received.' - EA document obtained by cllct Previously, teams were divided into five tiers based on a decade of AP rankings. Tier 1 earned just shy of $100,000, while Tier 5 made less than $10,000. Texas was in Tier 2 and earned just short of $60,000. Players this season will receive a raise from the $600 all but Arch Manning earned last season. Players can earn up to $3,000 based on negotiations with EA and NIL partner Pathway Sports & Entertainment. College Football 26 will be released on July 10. Last year's version became the most widely played sports video game of all time with more than 1.7 billion streams of the game. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @LonghornsWire.
