Welcome, Shackers, to the end of another Tuesday. We’ve had quite a few of our final reviews and features come out this year as the final games launch before the holiday season. We’re also still working on our Shacknews Awards in all categories and can’t wait to share our picks for this year. For now, it’s time to bring another day of posting to a close, and that means a new Evening Reading. Enjoy.
In case you missed it at Shacknews…
And now… More stuff from The Internet!!!
For us, it was a Tuesday…

Hello Games remains humble while making full games worth of free updates for No Man’s Sky. Pretty great.

I’m not sure what to make of this yet. The animation looks very strange and stilted, but I can’t deny the action looks alright. Will be interested to see it continue to develop.
A little bit of history

Nobuo Uematsu was in Hawaii when working on the soundtrack of Final Fantasy 9 and had this license plate while he worked. He was apparently supposed to give it back to Square Enix, but found it in his old things. A sentimental piece of gaming history!
And there you have it. That covers the Evening Reading for this December 2, 2025. Thank you for reading and tuning in, and don’t forget that if you want to support what we’re doing, you can do so through Shacknews Mercury, where you can directly support the site for as little as a dollar a month. Don’t have a dollar? You don’t need one to use Shackmaps, where you’ll find a collection of customizable video game maps to aid in all sorts of open-world adventures. There’s also Bubbletron, where you can assemble your next trillion-dollar start-up idea from a daily-rotating set of prompts. Can you get the highest valuation of the day and claim the money hat?
