With a year that featured The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Assassin’s Creed, and Zelda all within the same month, one has to imagine much of the retail dollars made by each title came during the latter part of 2011.

According to the Communist Party newsmagazine Granma (which would be sort of like NEWSWEEK–if NEWSWEEK was edited by Leon Trotsky), America is simply doing what it does best: waging its ongoing “biological war against Cuba.” (You have to love a government that can’t feed all of its people, yet publishes an official magazine in five languages.) Since 1996, when America supposedly introduced the parasite, Cuba has lost 16,000 beehives and $2 million in honey output....

Howard: It’s politics and this is football The 2-0 scoreline has loomed over every World Cup qualification match against Mexico played on American soil since 2001.

Marketing is a crucial component of any game’s chance of success. Without it, the product can’t reach its intended audience, and therefore, it won’t sell and make back the money it took to make it. This is why gaming conferences are extremely important to gaming companies just as it is to the players who watch them. In the case of a live service game like Among Us, marketing is even more important as a good commercial or trailer at events like E3 can change how many concurrent players it has on any given day....

Amsterdam’s story is rooted in reality, with an immediate title card informing the audience that most of what they are about to see actually happened.
