    That’s a lot of video games.

    Secret Level is a new animated anthology series featuring a bunch of video game franchises that’s coming to Prime Video on December 10th. Featured franchises include Armored Core, Mega Man, Sifu, Spelunky, and “various PlayStation Studios games” — I’m pretty sure I saw Kratos in the trailer.

    Take on — or make — chaotic dungeons in King of Meat.

    The new game from Glowmade and Amazon Games will let you battle through dungeons with up to four players, or, if you want to, you can create your own. King of Meat will have crossplay and cross-progression, and it’s coming to PC and consoles.

    That’s Joker!

    Persona 3 Reload’s expansion pass adds Joker from Persona 5 to the game... but apparently as a boss fight. I’m conflicted: I love Persona 5, but I don’t want to do anything to hurt my good friend Joker!

    US intelligence officials say Iran is behind hacks of the Trump campaign.

    “The [intelligence community] is confident that the Iranians have through social engineering and other efforts sought access to individuals with direct access to the presidential campaigns of both political parties,” according to a joint ODNI, FBI, and CISA statement.

    The Trump campaign said earlier this month that it had been hacked and claimed that Iran was responsible.
