It’s been a hard few months, with COVID-19 and then mass protests in the United States. For many, video games have helped us get through quarantine and days where we feel like the world is falling apart.

A stellar bundle for a stellar cause The bundle consisted of 1,741 games....

If you like games and the people who make them, today’s your lucky day. The digital indie game storefront Itch.io is hosting a special event today. No, it’s not related to Black Friday; that’s just a coincidence. For all of today, Itch.io is giving every cent of every sale straight to game developers. While it’s an amazing coincidence that this event lines up with Black Friday, it also means that a host of popular games on the indie storefront are also discounted....

Some disheartening news came out recently for fans looking forward to Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R, a remake of the PlayStation 3 title of the same name (minus the R).

Konami’s financial report for Q3 2020 reveals that its profits decreased during that period as a result of “future development of game contents” (via Twinfinite). Intriguing. Konami generated ¥193.1 billion over the course of the three quarters of this fiscal year, but its profit for that period tots up to ¥16.3 billion. That’s quite the decrease from last year, and this is reflected in the digital entertainment segment breakdown for Konami, too....

This year, the Oscars will have a significantly smaller pool of applicants to choose for awards due to the pandemic. But this might actually be an opportunity to forgo some of the previous constraints of the awards. Here’s why. “In fact, the Oscars ceremony should absolutely go on as planned — and rather than settle for Best Picture nominees like Trolls or Bad Boys for Life, the Academy ought to use this as an opportunity to fully embrace the cutting edge, independent, and foreign films that get crowded out in normal years....

But the cinematic trailer also teases something bigger: “With Nebula, the Nazis had unwittingly shaken something awake, something far more powerful and fearsome than anything we could ever hope to comprehend....

Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved movies. I love the trailers that come before the movie (especially if the movie is older and the style of trailers lock them into the time in which they were released.) I love the film itself and the music they choose to accompany the credits. But most of all, I love the behind-the-scenes featurettes. Few things bring me as much joy as opening the ‘special features’ section of a DVD menu to see multiple lengthy behind-the-scenes documentaries waiting for me....

The Men in Black franchise is continuing with a spinoff movie that shifts focus away from Will Smith’s Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones’s Agent K to a new generation of suit-sporting enforcers. – Seriously, they’re not coming back, at least, that’s the word. Men in Black: International will serve as the official title of the franchise’s summer 2019-scheduled fourth film, a spinoff/sequel. F. Gary Gray – who has plenty of blockbuster success with The Fate of the Furious, as well as the Oscar-nominated 2015 NWA biopic, Straight Outta Compton – serves as director for Men in Black: International....
