10 Classic Hollywood Movies That Would Make Seriously Good Video Games
With cutting-edge graphics and moving storylines, video games are getting increasingly cinematic these days. For decades, films too, have been adapted into games, most of which turned out to be duds or mere marketing tricks. Of course, there can be exceptions, like Sega's Alien: Isolation and EA's The Godfather , but generally, games based on films have had polarizing reactions.

The vintage atmosphere and iconic characters from certain Hollywood classics lend themselves to effective world-building and creating some visually-rich gaming environments. Hence, it would make sense if gaming studios focused on these classic movies to target cinephiles and others just looking for something different.

The most important video game of 2020 is coming out ... in 2021
A release date for a game might be pushed back for a variety of reasons, and depending on the individual game and its size and scale, delays are indicative of an imbalance between creative ambition and the management, and even treatment, of an able workforce.

I'm not privy to what's going on behind the scenes at 343 Industries, a studio that remains at work on Halo Infinite .

Dave Fennoy sees video games growing up | Las Vegas Review-Journal
Dave Fennoy is one of the most prolific voice actors in the video game world. But he didn’t set out on this path originally.
In the 1980s, Fennoy worked in the radio industry, becoming a morning disc jockey in California. In the late 80s, things changed.
“I took a course with an agent in Los Angeles and after it was done, she said, ‘you’re kind of talented. If you ever come to LA, we’d like to represent you,’” Fennoy said. “She handed me her card and I said, ‘I just might do that sometime. Right now, I’m the morning jockey for the No. 1 station in town, but I got your card.’”
This 6-year-old racked up over $16K on his mom's credit card
Six-year-old George Johnson secretly racked up more than $16,000 in Apple app-store charges for his favorite video game, Sonic Forces — leaving his mom in shock.
While working from home during the pandemic, Wilton., Conn., real-estate broker Jessica Johnson, 41, didn't realize the younger of her two sons had gone on a shopping spree on her iPad. Over the month of July, George bought add-on boosters — starting with $1.99 red rings and moving up to $99.99 gold rings — that allowed him to access new characters and more speed, spending hundreds of bucks at a time.

Waiting seems to be the real name of the game right now, whether for new games or the chance to get your hands on one of the new-gen consoles.
Dynamic difficulty adjustment: Gamers allege Electronic Arts is manipulating FIFA, Madden, and
Three Californians say that the video game publisher Electronic Arts is secretly manipulating them. On Nov. 9, they filed a class-action lawsuit accusing EA of surreptitiously using a patented A.I. technology known as dynamic difficulty adjustment in its FIFA , Madden , and NHL games—three of the biggest sports games on the planet.
The story of how we got here goes back to at least 2017. That year, the publisher Activision filed a patent for the express purpose of encouraging in-game microtransactions through A.I. technology. This patent inflamed long-stewing gamer anxieties about loot boxes. Loot boxes vary by game, but they are generally a random assortment of in-game items or characters that can be purchased with real money or in game currency.
