Yes, I am talking aboutMoney. Money makes the world go ’round, and according to Pink Floyd, it’s a hit. But some of us out there feel our wallets lightening and our bank accounts emptying recently with the slew of top-notch games being released week after week....
You know how it works. With the help of each other, try to figure out all of the disguised video game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones.

Even after you’ve got the theme down you might not realize its significance on one of the game covers right away, so try to think outside the box....

VG247 wagers it’s a teaser for someGod of War IIIDLC but I have a JOURNALISTIC hunch that this is something far more sinister.
