In recent times, people have taken to flooding games’ Steam pages with (typically negative) reviews and tags to protest, well, lots of things. New features, viewpoints of creators, messages in the games themselves. But why? And does it actually work?

Over the past couple years, Justin Bieber has been a pretty big douchebag. It’s hard to blame him though, since becoming famous overnight at such a young age has taken a toll on many young celebrities. But since Comedy Central’s roast of the pop star, it seems like he’s genuinely trying to be less of a jerk, and a big screen role in his future just might help with that. Bieber took to Twitter to reveal that he has some part in Zoolander 2, which has been stacking up the talent lately with the recent additions of “Portlandia” star Fred Armisen and the return of Billy Zane. Of course, this is likely just a cameo and nothing major. Read on! ›››

In a cute bit of cross promotion from New Zealand, the folks at Walt Disney in the southern hemisphere have used the emotions from this summer’s Pixar Animation film Inside Out as a way to help one of Disney’s other big summer blockbusters, The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Footage from the promising Pixar flick has been edited around one of the trailers for the Marvel Studios sequel to make it seem as if Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith)Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black) and Disgust (Mindy Kaling) are watching and reacting to the trailer. It’s a clever way to promote both the Disney flicks. Watch! ›››

Following the trend of Harry Potter, The Twilight Saga and The Hunger Games, we already know that The Divergent Series: Allegiant will be split into two films. Allegiant – Part 1 will arrive on March 18th, 2016 and Allegiant – Part 2 will arrive on March 24th, 2017. That meas the entire franchise will have been release in just four years. That would be more impressive if the films had a little more substance (they’re not terrible, just underwhelming), but young adult sci-fi is all the rage right now. Anyway, the finale might up the ante as THR reports Dumb & Dumber and “The Newsroom” star Jeff Daniels has joined. ›››

After bringing comedy to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last week, “Saturday Night Live” cast member Cecily Strong is getting ready to start a feature film career as well. The comedienne has a role in the indie comedy The Bronze, but now she’s lined up her first studio feature film comedy as Deadline reports Strong is taking a role in Michelle Darnell, the next comedy led by The Heat and Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy. As of now there’s no indication as to what role Strong has in the film, but her presence is enough to have some hope that this comedy actually turns out better than McCarthy’s Tammy. ›››

There seems to be an influx of solid films coming from Australia lately, and one more will be arriving this summer. Strangerland marks the directorial debut of Kim Farrant, and features an impressive cast led by Aussie native Nicole Kidman, joined by Joseph Fiennes and Hugo Weaving. The film follows a couple who become frantic and panicked after their teenage son and daughter disappear in the Australian desert. It sounds like standard thriller fare, but the setting down under certainly makes for a nice change of pace, and looking at this domestic trailer, you can tell the film has some gorgeous cinematography. Watch! ›››

Last year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past did a spectacular job of essentially rebooting the X-Men franchise, while still meshing the casts of the original trilogy from director Bryan Singer, and the new cast from X-Men: First Class. However, now that there’s a new past timeline intact, it sounds like the old one might be coming to an end for good this time. El Mayimbe, the scoopmaster formerly of Latino Review, posted a juicy rumor to Instagram saying that X-Men: Apocalypse and Wolverine 3 will be the final films to have ties to Bryan Singer’s X-Men universe, and everything from now on will concern the X-Men: First Class team. ›››

After a submission and expert voting process, the New York-based Strong National Museum of Play this week announced the finalists for its first wave of inductees to its World Video Game Hall of Fame.
Games were evaluated by experts based on “icon-status, longevity, geographical reach, and the influence it has had on the design of other games, entertainment, popular culture, and society in general.”
You can see the full list of criteria here.
The fifteen finalists are as follows:
Inductees will be announced during a presentation at The Strong Museum in Rochester, NY on Thursday, June 4, at 10:30 AM. They will then be put on display at the museum’s eGameRevolution exhibit.
“The 15 finalists for the World Video Game Hall of Fame span decades, gaming platforms, and geographies–but what they all have in common is their undeniable impact on popular culture and society in general,” The Strong Museum’s Jon-Paul Dyson said in a statement. “Whether it’s the groundbreaking game Pong or a more recent viral sensation like Minecraft, all of these games have helped shape the way that people across the globe play and relate to one another.”
Do you agree with The Strong’s finalists? Let us know in the comments below!
Back in February, GameSpot editors revealed their own picks for games that should be included in the Hall of Fame. My selection, GoldenEye 007, didn’t make the cut.

A newly discovered Bloodborne glitch shows off the challenging RPG like we’ve never seen it before.
YouTube user PaiNz encountered a strange camera bug that locked the game into a top-down view. Bloodborne, of course, is normally played from a third-person perspective.
It’s reminiscent of older Grand Theft Auto games or the Diablo series. And it’s quite fun to watch.
What do you think? Would you like to play Bloodborne from this perspective? No doubt this new bug would make an already challenging game even tougher. Let us know in the comments.
