Even before Baldur’s Gate 3, video games featured incredible characters who changed how romance was used in gameplay.

The Saints Row series initially focused on gang life, with Saints Row: The Third being particularly exaggerated. The games then took a dramatic shift with Saints Row IV, which featured superpowers and a plot involving fighting aliens as the President of the United States. A further expansion even sent players to Hell. After this, the series felt creatively exhausted, leading to a reboot. Sadly, the rebooted Saints Row was unsuccessful and ultimately led to the closure of the development studio, Volition. It didn’t resonate with fans and didn’t live up to the quality of previous games.
This time, Ghostface isn’t just targeting Sidney, but her entire family – including her husband, Mark (Joel McHale), and her daughter, played by Isabel May.

The first Tatum had a particularly memorable and tragic death in the original Scream, and Sidney named her daughter in her honor. Now, Sidney is desperately hoping her daughter can avoid the same fate.

The game challenges players to fight off endless hordes of Tyranids and Skaven, utilizing a roster of characters, each with their own unique abilities. Currently, six playable characters have been revealed.
However, that positive feeling hasn’t extended to the games coming in November 2025, including Stray, EA Sports WRC 24, and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator.
Tonight, November 4th, Tom, Aaron, and Jasmine—the three remaining finalists—competed in their most difficult challenges yet. The pressure was intense, and the stakes were higher than ever before.
