But, after speaking with PUBG Mobile’s development team at Tencent Games, Newsweek has learned that this in-game sandstorm is meant to serve a much greater purpose beyond exciting players. As the globe continues to be ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic, this adventurous group of game developers hopes to spread an environmental message to help save the planet we hold so dear. The hope is that, by seeing a sandstorm in-game, PUBG Mobile’s millions-strong audience will take it upon themselves to ensure similar real-world destruction won’t happen elsewhere....

This is the first time the World Corporate Games will be held in the Middle East, officials of Sports for Life, organisers of the event, said in a statement. The sporting event takes place every one to two years and the last edition was held in Houston in the US last year, they said. The World Corportate Games, established nearly 30 years ago, aims to bring together, the local, regional and international business sporting community....

“I think quite a few things went wrong for us. We started well, were right on the mark for the first 10-12 overs. Then, a few catches were dropped, a few misfields, the death overs bowling wasn’t great. We don’t have bowlers who hit the deck, it was slightly tough on them,” he admitted. Hardik Pandya literally ran away with the game in the death for MI as he hit a 8-ball 25....

The film opens with Judith (“Welcome to the Dollhouse’s” Heather Matarazzo) and her brainy older brother, Wesley (Zach Braff), waiting in a seedy bus station in upstate New York to be taken to separate destinations. He’s going to college; she’s there to visit her mother, Trix (Bebe Neuwirth), in a mental hospital. Like the losers and misfits who wander in and out of bars in Eugene O’Neill plays, the regulars at the bus station, especially the nonstop talker Jimmy, engage the young Judith and get her to tell her story....

“Lies” has generated an understandable scandal in its native South Korea, and is based on a novel that got its author, Jang Jung Il, imprisoned on pornography charges in 1996. Despite its explicit sexual content, there is nothing pornographic about this film. Filmed in a documentary-like style–to the extent that the actors occasionally break out of their roles to talk about how they are feeling about a certain scene–“Lies” is never titillating or exploitative....

An attack at a dance hall in Monterey Park, a predominantly Asian American community, during Lunar New Year celebrations on Saturday night, left 11 people dead. The suspect, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, was found dead in a van the following morning of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. Then, on Monday night, seven people were killed in a pair of related shootings at agricultural facilities in Half Moon Bay, a city about 30 miles south of San Francisco....

In case you didn’t know… Lovren was at the centre of a controversy during the World Cup when he called himself one of the best defenders in the world. Speaking to Sky Sports this summer, the Croatian defender said, “It’s something special for me. From my point of view, people were saying I had a difficult season but I don’t agree with that.” “I showed that I took Liverpool to the Champions League final and now with my national team we are in the final....

The RHOBH cast member, the daughter of musician John Mellencamp, revealed she was out of the franchise in an Instagram video, captioned: “You heard it here last. Yes, it’s true, I am not coming back to #RHOBH. Thank you to @bravotv, @evolutionusa, @bravoandy and all of the amazing women for the support (and the shade) for the past three years. Back to the shadows I go.” In the video, Mellencamp went into more detail about why she would not be returning....

Wednesday night’s 2-1 loss to Leganes in the Copa del Rey saw Zinedine Zidane’s side crash out of the Copa del Rey on away goals at the quarter-final stage and represents the latest embarrassment in an increasingly calamitous campaign. Already 19 points behind fierce rivals Barcelona in La Liga, the cup competition was considered a priority by Los Blancos, but it is over before some senior players (such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo) had even made an appearance....

From Miami and New York to Los Angeles and Seattle, ‘Reject the Cover-Up’ protests will stretch to all four corners of the continental United States. Scheduled to take place at 5:30 p.m. local time, they will follow a 4 p.m. vote by the GOP-controlled chamber to acquit the president of articles of impeachment for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. “We’re now at over 160 events planned and expect tens of thousands of rally-goers across the country,” Press Secretary for Stand Up America Ryan Thomas told Newsweek....

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, aside from being a poorly named paramilitary operation, is Capcom’s new foray into multiplayer for their survival horror series. Fans may remember Resident Evil: Outbreak, which was not very well received for a number of reasons. However, Slant Six Games has taken over development to create a much more action-oriented game focused on a 4-player cooperative shooting experience. Six minutes of gameplay is available for ocular input and to give you some insight on what to expect from the title....

The end result is a third-person shooter that isn’t afraid of giving fans a few scares while keeping them hooked on the story, but the overall look of the title is a sight responsible for sore eyes. Throwing two pairs of new and familiar characters into leading roles, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 ensures that gamers will be engaged with the story that’s unfolding in front of them. The first set of protagonists are Claire Redfield and newcomer Moira Burton (Barry’s estranged daughter), with the second set being comprised of returning, fan-favorite Barry Burton and a mysterious little girl named Natalia....

Resogun shares a lot of the same qualities as Super Stardust, including a flourish-filled presentation, so fans of that addictive title will want to pay attention. But, at the same time, Resogun is not receiving the same type of attention as other PS4 exclusives like Killzone: Shadow Fall or Knack. Which is a shame because Resogun just might be the first must-play title for Sony’s next-gen console. While the game has several strengths, the one that gamers will instantly recognize is its visual style....

“A Rickconvenient Mort” split our heroes up and introduced a range of new characters that had heavy emotional implications for Morty, Rick and Summer. The episode title’s spin on An Inconvenient Truth was incredibly appropriate as the environment was a big focus, not just on Earth but on other planets too. For this episode, Rick and Morty’s creator Dan Harmon recruited former Community cast member Alison Brie to voice the superhero Planetina, and Harmon addressed the casting on social media too....

This is an old joke, of course, but it’s especially silly right now. Are there really people who would even let their own funeral keep them from seeing “The Producers”? Mel Brooks’s nutsy Nazi musical sold $1.3 million in tickets in one day last week, that being the day after the show walked off with a record 12 Tony Awards. All told, “The Producers” has sold more than $33 million in tickets, with a new batch of seats now available to the end of 2002....

The disaster at Manila’s Payatas dump was another grim episode in a city teeming with misery. But some people blame the catastrophe not on tragic happenstance but government negligence. “Payatas should not have happened at all,” says Fulgencio Factoran, a former Environment and Natural Resources secretary for the Philippines. “The dump was unsupervised. There was an absolute lack of political will in keeping people away from the area.” Local government officials had made desultory efforts to relocate the squatters, but the sites were too far from places where they could eek out a living, and so the Payatas “residents” refused to leave....

Navalny’s YouTube channel, watched by millions, uncovers graft among Russia’s political elite and Yevgeny Prigozhin, nicknamed “Putin’s chef” because of his catering businesses and links to the Russian president, was a target last year. Navalny’s Anti Corruption Foundation (FBK) alleged Prigozhin was linked to a company called “Moskovsky Shkolnik” (Moscow schoolboy) that had supplied poor quality food to schools which had caused a dysentery outbreak. Prigozhin denied he had links to the company and a Russian court last year ordered Navalny, his associate Lyubov Sobol and his foundation to pay almost 88 million rubles ($1....
