The Rodeo No One Saw Coming: Shania Twain, Zedd, and… Candy Crush?

If someone told you ten years ago that the country queen who taught us "That Don’t Impress Me Much" and the EDM DJ responsible for blowing out your car speakers would team up inside a smartphone puzzle game, you’d probably have asked for whatever candy they were eating. ​Yet, here we are in 2026, and the digital universe has given us a collaboration so gloriously surreal it makes perfect sense: Shania Twain and Zedd have officially joined forces for Candy Crush’s annual Music Season. ​The duo just released a dancefloor-ready reimagining of Twain’s 1998 mega-hit, “You’re Still the One.” Directed by legend Jonas Ã…kerlund, the accompanying music video drops viewers straight into "Candy Country"—a glittering, bedazzled Western fantasy where the saloons resemble gumdrops, rain takes the form of rhinestones, and rainbow rapids flow through technicolor deserts. ​Think Westworld , but make it aggressive amounts of pink, highly edible, and heavily bass-boosted. ​ A Scav...

Hidden Gem or Masocore Trap? Solo Dev’s 2D Boss-Rush WALTO is 50% Off Right Now

If you like your video games with a side of suffering, you might want to look at WALTO . Released this past March by solo indie developer KUKUKU GAMES, WALTO is a brutal 2D boss-rush game that has flown almost entirely under the radar, currently sitting at just a single user review on Steam. But obscurity doesn't always mean a lack of ambition. Built for players who like to test their reflexes and patience, the game is leaning into its hardcore identity with a 50% discount, dropping the price from $2.99 to just $1.49 through September 8.
