Preorder 4K Edition at Amazon Preorder standard Blu-ray at Amazon

Every filmmaker has that one movie that puts them on the map, and for Tim Burton, it was his very first film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Pee-wee's Big Adventure premiered in 1985, and sees the quirky Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) set off on an adventure to reclaim his stolen bike--but while it's a quaint little story, it had a massive impact on both Burton and Reubens' careers. Soon, the family-friendly classic is getting a brand new Criterion Collection--making it the very first Tim Burton movie to get a Criterion Collection release. It will be available in 4K and standard Blu-ray versions, both of which will launch on December 16 and are now available for preorder. You can secure your copy of Pee-wee's Big Adventure Criterion Collection 4K Blu-ray version for $50, or $40 for the regular Blu-ray release at Amazon.

The directorial feature debut of Burton, Pee-wee's Big Adventure is downright weird. The core plot revolves around Pee-wee setting off on a road trip to recover his beloved stolen bicycle, but things get stranger from there thanks to terrifying clowns, the horror of Large Marge, and a run-in with the rowdy biker gang called Satan's Helpers. Tequila! Nothing like Pee-wee's Big Adventure had ever been seen on the big screen before, and it has remained a wonderfully weird film that has never been imitated since it was first released in theaters in 1985.

Did you know that you can play Roblox with a VR headset? It's not a widely known feature, as many households don't have a virtual reality device readily available. The first VR headsets required a specific amount of space and multiple wires hanging off the device, making them awkward to use.

It may now be worth playing some of the best Roblox games in virtual reality. First-person horror experiences like Doors would become even scarier from this perspective. Here, we'll show you how to set up Roblox on your VR headset and control your character on your device of choice.

On the RGG Summit livestream tonight, Sega announced Yakuza Kiwami 3, a ground-up remake of 2009's Yakuza 3. As with the previous "Kiwami" remakes, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2, Kiwami 3 gives the game's visuals a massive upgrade, fleshes out story details with new cutscenes and action sequences, and also is set to offer a wealth of new side content.

In the later RGG Direct, game director Ryosuke Horii elaborated on some of the game's additions. Besides additional story scenes, several of the cutscenes and voicelines from Yakuza 3 have been completely redone for Kiwami 3. The environments of Okinawa--a distinct feature of Yakuza 3--have also been completely remade. Combat sees similar revamps, with Kiryu being able to switch between his classic "Dragon of Dojima Kiwami" fighting skills and the all-new, Okinawan-martial-arts-inspired, weapon-heavy "Ryukyu Style." And to top it all off, the "Dragon Boost" powered-up mode gives Kiryu's hard-hitting, face-smashing, ruffian-hurling techniques even more of a ferocious edge.

All-new minigames were also showcased. A new game mode called "Life at Morning Glory" shows the softer side of Kiryu as he manages the Morning Glory orphanage and interacts with the children under his care. Another new mini-game, "Legendary Baddie: Bad Boy Dragon," sees Kiryu teaming up with a posse of female Okinawan biker gang members and helping them in their turf wars against rival groups.
