Pee-Wee's Big Adventure Is The First Tim Burton Movie To Get A Criterion Collection Release

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 22:48
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.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure Criterion Collection (4K Blu-ray) $50 | Releases December 16

Pee-wee's Big Adventure Criterion Collection 4K Blu-ray features a full 4K digital restoration of the film supervised and approved by Burton. It supports Dolby Vision HDR, as well as 2.0 and 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio.

Both the 4K and standard Blu-ray versions of the film feature a new cover art illustration. They also pack a selection of bonus features, which we've listed below. You can preorder the 4K Blu-ray for $50 or the standard Blu-ray for $40.

Criterion has added several new interviews conducted by film critic Mark Olsen to his release, featuring Burton, actor Richard Ayoade, film co-writer Michael Varhol, editor Billy Weber, production designer David L. Snyder, and producer Richard Abramson. This joins a selection of archival content like deleted scenes, a 2005 interview with Reubens, and audio commentary tracks.

  • Commentary track with Tim Burton and actor/co-writer Paul Reubens
  • Music-focused commentary featuring composer Danny Elfman
  • Newly recorded conversation between Burton and actor/filmmaker Richard Ayoade
  • Brand-new discussions with co-writer Michael Varhol, editor Billy Weber, production designer David L. Snyder, and producer Richard Abramson, moderated by critic Mark Olsen
  • A 2005 interview session with Paul Reubens
  • Highlights from the film’s 40th-anniversary screening, organized by Nostalgic Nebula and introduced by comedian Dana Gould
  • Collection of deleted scenes
  • Theatrical trailer
  • Printed essay by radio and podcast personality Jesse Thorn

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.

How To Play Roblox VR

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 22:05

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.

That said, with the technology becoming cheaper and more streamlined by the year, some are ditching the cumbersome cables. 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.

Table of Contents [hide]Which VR headsets are compatible with Roblox?

If you own any Steam-compatible headsets, such as the HTC Vive, Valve Index, Pico, or Windows Mixed Reality range of devices, then Roblox will work. You can also use any recent VR device made by Oculus, but the setup processes are different.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 Announced--And It's Got A Big Expansion Attached

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 20:07

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.

Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Release Has Been Delayed

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 11:13

Borderlands 4 debuted earlier this month on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. However, Switch 2 owners were supposed to get the game on October 3. Now, Gearbox Software has delayed the Borderlands 4 Switch 2 port 10 days before its release after citing a need for it to have more time in development.

Gearbox made the announcement on social media, and wrote that it "did not take this decision lightly." The statement goes on to say that Gearbox is "committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our fans, and the game needs additional development and polish time to do that. Our hope is to also better align this release with the addition of cross saves, which we are working on and recognize is very important. We will update you all on the new release timing once we've fully adjusted our plans."

Greetings, Vault Hunters - We need to share that the release of Borderlands 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 is being delayed. We do not take this decision lightly, but are committed to ensuring we deliver the best possible experience to our fans, and the game needs additional development…

Pokemon Fans Can Celebrate Pokeween At Local Stores Throughout October

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 05:10

The Halloween season begins next month, but for Pokemon fans, that means Pokeween is back as well. To celebrate the season, specially designated Play! Pokemon stores are inviting fans to come down and earn a few free prizes from participating in events.

As explained on Pokemon's official site, Pokeween events are being held between October 1-31 at select stores. Fans who come down for the event will be rewarded with a Trick or Trade BOOster pack, a Pokemon Go code--which will randomly alternate between rare candy, incense, or a lucky egg--and a Spiritomb promo card with the Play! Pokemon logo. There's also the added benefit of hanging around other Pokemon fans.

Fans are encouraged to come in costume as their favorite Pokemon, or to simply come as they are to show off their cards and share their experiences with the game. The Play! Locator can find eligible stores and their locations for this event--they include independently owned hobby shops, so you may have some nearby. Each store may also set different times and dates for Pokeween events.

Relaxing Baby Steps Nature Stream Sees A Guy Violently Fall Into Frame Every 15 Minutes

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 04:55

Baby Steps, the literal walking simulator from the minds behind games like QWOP and Getting Over It, is out now, and publisher Devolver Digital is celebrating with a relaxing "naturescape" stream where the game's protagonist Nate violently falls into frame every 15 minutes.

It's all as weird, jarring, and hilarious as it sounds. In Baby Steps, "unemployed failson" Nate must traverse a "mountain-sized mountain" using the power of putting one foot in front of the other using the game's unique (and by the look of it, frustrating) physics-based control scheme. The stream highlights various landscapes from the game that Nate must overcome and presents them as serene, idyllic vistas.

Every few minutes, however, the stream takes a sharp turn as Nate comes tumbling down some rocks or faceplants into the dirt, mimicking the experience more than a few Baby Steps players are having themselves. It's never not funny, in large part because it's easy to forget it's going to happen while the stream runs in the background on a second monitor, only for the peaceful sounds of nature to be suddenly interrupted by a bumbling oaf crashing through the landscape.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 Lets You Pet The DAWG

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 04:21

Activision has confirmed that you can indeed pet the dog in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, but it's not exactly what you think. Black Ops 7 is a futuristic game set in 2035, and it features the Deployable Armored Weaponized Groundcraft, or D.A.W.G. In a newly released video, the developers from Treyarch said a small team put in the work to add the ability to pet the killer robot machine.

"This is a fun one. It started as a small, little Easter egg and, inevitably, somebody asked the question, 'Can I pet that dog?' And a very small group of people made it happen," design director Matt Scronce said.

You can see the character petting the D.A.W.G. in the video below, but Scronce said Treyarch is not going to reveal exactly how players achieve petting the D.A.W.G. You'll have to figure that out for yourself, he said.

The Steam Deck Has Been Discounted By 20% For The Next Week

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 03:58
See on Steam

The Steam Deck is still regarded as the benchmark that all handheld gaming PCs aspire to be like, and if you've been looking to get one, now might be the best time to do so as it has been discounted by 20%. At a time when gaming hardware has gotten more expensive over time, getting a Steam Deck for just $319 is a pretty good deal overall. This pre-Steam Fall Sale deal saves you $80 off the regular price of the 256GB LCD screen model, making it cheaper than the original Switch console in comparison.

Steam Deck (256GB LCD) $319 (was $400)

This discount will only be available from now through October 6, and it doesn't include other models like the OLED screen version. While this handheld is almost four years old, it's still a versatile handheld that is compatible with an impressive number of games thanks to SteamOS and it offers rock-solid performance. Ideally, this can function well as a go-to machine for indie games, but it can handle more visually demanding titles reasonably well.

On top of that, filling up your gaming library is quite affordable through Steam, and with the Steam Fall Sale around the corner, there'll be some great discounts to take advantage of. If you do want some more technical bang for your buck, the 512GB OLED Steam Deck is priced at $550 and the 1TB version is $650, making these worthwhile competitors to the upcoming Xbox Ally ROG and the expensive Lenovo Legion Go 2. While you are losing out being able to access multiple gaming storefronts--the Steam Deck rivals use a Windows operating system--SteamOS is still a great platform if you don't mind being locked into a Steam ecosystem.

See on Steam Essential Steam Deck accessories See at Amazon See at Amazon See at Amazon See at Amazon See at Amazon

Since you're saving quite a bit on this purchase, you can put some of that cash to good use by protecting your new gaming investment and enhancing it. The iVanky docking station is Steam Deck compatible, and it can be used to connect the machine up with a TV screen. You'll also charge your Steam Deck through it, and if you decide to expand your handheld gaming PC collection, this can also be used with Asus ROG Ally, Steam Deck OLED, Lenovo Legion Go, and MSI Claw handhelds. Normally $40, it's on sale for $27 as part of a limited-time deal.

There's also the Jsaux charging dock for $30 (was $40), and like the iVanky, you're getting fast-charging, you can turn your Steam Deck into a gaming PC on your TV, and it's compatible with other hardware as well. These are also much cheaper--and actually better--than the official Steam Deck dock, and these come with a wide variety of I/O ports, including HDMI, USB-C, Ethernet, and USB-A 3.0 slots, and they also support 4K resolutions with high refresh rates.

WoW Legion Remix Brings Back Almost Every Artifact Skin, Except The One You're Missing

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 03:41

World of Warcraft's upcoming Legion Remix event will include plenty of new and returning transmog options for players to collect, but one highly coveted set of Artifact appearances from the original Legion expansion won't be among them.

Legion, originally released in 2016, is one of WoW's most popular expansions. That popularity is, in part, due to its Artifact-weapon system. Every player was granted an iconic weapon from Warcraft lore to upgrade over the course of the expansion. Because WoW's real endgame is transmog, each Artifact weapon also sported a variety of different skins and color variations for players to pursue and collect.

WoW Legion Remix's content schedule.

Now, as part of Legion Remix, players are getting a second chance at the expansion. In a forum post from WoW community manager Kaivax, Blizzard clarified that nearly all of Legion's original Artifact-weapon appearances (minus ones available only through PvP, since Legion Remix is a PvE-only event) will be available during the event. Many of these Artifact appearances are technically still earnable in the modern version of the game, though Legion Remix's increased leveling speeds and power levels will make leveling new characters for the event and blasting through some of the prerequisites faster.

Slime Rancher 2 Is Out Of Early Access, Now Available On PC And Consoles

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 03:30

After a few years in early access, the full version of Slime Rancher 2 has now launched for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The cozy slime-wrangling and life-simulator game has also been enhanced with the new "A Hero in Time" update, adding several new and returning features to the adventures of Beatrix LeBeau as she tracks down and raises slimes for her ranch.

One of the big additions to the game will be Quantum Drones, a new version of the autonomous devices that can help you run your ranch and explore the world. Developer Monomi Park has also outlined its plans for endgame content, as the Grey Labyrinth will offer players the opportunity to journey to previously unseen areas. Additionally, the 1.0 release of Slime Rancher 2 will add even more areas to explore, new slimes to discover, and gadgets to master.

To celebrate the full release, Monomi Park will offer the game at a discounted price on Steam, as well as an Ultimate Bundle that includes base games for both titles, the original soundtracks, the second volume of the Slime Rancher 2 soundtrack, and more. You can pick up a Steam key for Slime Rancher 2 through Fanatical for $18.59 (was $30), giving you a pretty impressive 38% discount.

Former Pokemon Legal Chief "Wouldn't Touch" Homeland Security Video That Used Ash Ketchum

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 03:26

In response to the Department of Homeland Security's video using Ash Ketchum to promote ICE, The Pokemon Company's ex-legal chief said he "wouldn't touch" it, suggesting some possible reasons why the company might not pursue legal action.

This week, Homeland Security posted a video to X of an arrest compilation. In between footage of ICE agents handcuffing people at their homes and in their cars are clips from the OG Pokemon TV series, with the famed "Gotta catch 'em all" theme playing in the background. When Ash Ketchum looks up at the sky, the text "The Department of Homeland Security" populates the screen in Pokemon's iconic yellow-and-blue font. As a Poke Ball closes, the camera zooms in on wrists in cuffs. And at the very end of the video, those arrested appear as Pokemon cards with their "crime" described under their picture.

Fans were understandably upset about this, with many in the comments begging for The Pokemon Company to sue the DHS. However, the company's former legal chief, Don McGowan, explained to IGN why The Pokemon Company likely won't do anything about the video.

Game Pass For PC Getting This Cat-And-Mouse City-Builder As A Day-One Release

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 03:19

Whiskerwood, a cat-and-mouse city-building game from Hooded Horse Minakata Dynamics, is coming to to PC Game Pass at launch on November 6.

Whiskerwood has players controlling industrious mice who live under the "oppressive paw" of cat overlords. Players will travel the seas, explore new lands, and build cities as they make the best of things while the "oppressive demands" of the cat overlords are asking for more and more.

"Establish waste management and healthcare facilities, ensure buildings are properly heated and maintained, and send forth your mice to fell trees, mine mountains, and tend to the fields and fish," reads a line from the game's description. "The cats will demand their due, and your own citizens will abandon the colony if their needs aren't met on a daily basis--you must strike a perfect balance between the needs of the mouse and the demands of the cat."

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Novels Will Keep You Busy Until The Netflix Series

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 02:23
See at Amazon

It’s been a while since we saw a new entry in the Splinter Cell series, but fans can look forward to the return of Sam Fisher when he sneaks onto Netflix with a fresh animated series on October 14. Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan, Logan) will voice the Third Echelon operative for its eight-episode run, and if you’re excited about the upcoming series, but have already played through the stealth-action video game series, consider checking out the classic Tom Clancy Splinter Cell novels that both the video games and the new Netflix animated series are based on. Better yet, many of the books are discounted at Amazon, making now the ideal time to dive into the espionage thriller series.

See all Splinter Cell novels at Amazon

Like many other books, video games, or TV series bearing the late author's name, Tom Clancy never actually wrote any of the Splinter Cell books. Instead, they’re written by David Michaels, Peter Telep, and other popular authors who follow a similar format to Clancy's earlier works.

If you’re just getting started, it makes sense to start with the first book, aptly titled Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, which is on sale for just $8.94 (was $10). The book introduces Third Echelon, Fisher, and the many people on his team who help him survive out in the field. Fans of the Splinter Cell video games will recognize the tense military espionage action and Sam Fisher’s morbid sense of humor. From there, the Splinter Cell book series includes eight more novels, for a total of nine (so far). The direct follow-up Splinter Cell: Operation Barracuda, while book three, Splinter Cell: Checkmate, and book four, Splinter Cell: Fallout, introduce new storylines.

New Baldur's Gate 3 Update Includes Steam Deck-Native Version Of The RPG

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 02:21

Baldur's Gate 3 is apparently even better to play on the go now, as Larian Studios has released a new native version of the RPG for Steam Deck as part of a hotfix update. The developer states that the game has "a more stable frame rate, lower loading times, and smoother gameplay" on the PC handheld.

Larian detailed what's included with hotfix 34 on Steam in a set of patch notes, with the spotlight on the Steam Deck-native build. But the developer pointed out this new portable version of Baldur's Gate 3 has led to "overall improvements to the way game models are streamed on all platforms, which should reduce framerate spikes in busy areas, such as the Lower City in Act 3." Previously, the RPG utilized the "Proton compatibility layer, which requires extra CPU processing power," to run on Valve's handheld.

Hotfix #34 is now live! You'll no longer turn into a floating torso when talking with Ketheric’s dog, the Apostle of Myrkul will stop regaining hit points when you load a save mid-combat, and we've attempted to save you from some annoying crashes. Read all about it: larian.club/Hotfix34

Mods can carry over to the native Steam Deck build of Baldur's Gate 3. Larian stated that by logging "in to your Larian Account and hav[ing] it connected to mod.io" will lead to your mods downloading for the game. Meanwhile, hotfix 34 also addresses other issues for Baldur's Gate 3, like crashing instances on Xbox Series X|S.

Rayman For Game Boy Gets New Physical Edition For Franchise's 30th Anniversary

Wed, 09/24/2025 - 02:00

Ubisoft's classic platforming series Rayman celebrated its 30th anniversary earlier this month. The developer confirmed the next mainline entry is in the works, but it sounds like it's a long ways off. While that's probably not what fans wanted to hear, at least you can buy a brand-new version of Rayman for Game Boy Color. That sentence sounds odd, but it's true: Ubisoft partnered with ModRetro to rerelease the GBC version of the original Rayman. An actual GBC cartridge, in fact, and it looks lovely.

Rayman for ModRetro Chromatic / Game Boy Color

Rayman is the latest addition to the ModRetro Chromatic Classics Collection. If the words ModRetro Chromatic don't mean anything to you: ModRetro is a retro gaming hardware manufacturer and software publisher; the Chromatic, an exceedingly impressive recreation of the Game Boy Color, was the brand's debut product last year. Check out our in-depth Chromatic review published at launch. Just a heads up, though: The Chromatic we reviewed now retails for $299, and the $199 model has slightly different components. That said, you can still get the GameStop-exclusive gray launch edition bundled with Tetris for $199.

It's important to note that even though ModRetro carts have Chromatic branding, all of them work on original hardware and other FPGA handhelds like the Analogue Pocket. ModRetro sent me a Rayman demo cart, and I tested it on Chromatic, Pocket, and an original Game Boy Color. It played perfectly on all three.
