Cryer has a storied history with the Luthor family – he played Lenny, Lex’s nephew, in the 1987 film Superman IV: The Quest for Peace alongside Gene Hackman, but now he gets a swing at the iconic role himself.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been out for over a month now, and as the first couple of tournaments come and go, giving the best players a stage to showcase what their characters can do, the meta of the game is starting to take shape.
We all no doubt have our own convictions on what characters are the best, likely shaped by who the last characters were to 3 stock us online, but we wanted to find out what the pros think.
Just getting into Smash? Here are our picks for starting fighters:
So, we picked the brains of five professional Smash Brothers Ultimate players – ZeRo, Mew2King, Hungrybox, JTails, and DaBuz – to find out their thoughts on the current state of competitive Smash Ultimate.

It’s that time of year again: football season is nearly over. That means the coming days will have some solid chances to save on a new TV ahead of the NFL championship game. This year it’s the New England Patriots versus the Los Angeles Rams. Can 41 year-old Tom Brady bring one more win to the people of New England? It’s hard to know. One thing is for sure, though: the Rams are without question America’s favorite football team right now.
The match-up is scheduled for February 3 on NBC and unfortunately won’t be broadcast in 4K: in spite of the fact 4K cameras will be filming the event, it’s being broadcast in regular old 1080p. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advantage of game day deals on 4K TVs. The future belongs to 4K content, and with 4K TV deals like a 43-inch Samsung for only $297.99, there’s not really a compelling reason NOT to make the jump to ultra-high definition.
Warning! Some spoilers follow for what we saw being filmed for Netflix’s Polar!
Back in March of 2018, in an abandoned power plant near Toronto, Mads Mikkelsen along with dozens of heavily-armed extras, prep for one of the biggest actions sequences in the film. While the mood between Mikkelsen and his fellow actors is cheerful, the production and safety departments are deadly serious, ensuring that we are equipped with hard hats and earmuffs to shield us from the thunderous cacophony of gunfire. Without going into spoilers… it was an awesome experience to behold, giving us our first look at Netflix’s new action-packed movie, Polar.
Polar, based on the Dark Horse graphic novel written by Victor Santos, centers on the legendary assassin Duncan Vizla (Mikkelsen), aka The Black Kaiser. Quickly approaching the age of 50, it’s time for Duncan to retire, but his employer won’t let him go quietly into the night. With his back against the wall, Duncan is once again forced to use his deadly skills in order to stay alive.
The animated blockbuster The LEGO Movie was more than just another nostalgic romp through the world of anthropomorphic toys. As we learned in that film’s surprising climax, it actually takes place within the imagination of a child. To young audiences, this was a mindblower. To older audiences, it was a head-scratcher, which raised a lot of questions about how this world really works.
In a Q&A after Tuesday’s screening of The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, Phil Lord and Chris Miller – who co-wrote and directed the original film, and co-wrote and produced the sequel – revealed that they have answers to our nerdiest questions about the underlying laws of the LEGO movie universe.

There is always the hope that as time passes things get better, products improve. On paper that is certainly the case with the Vizio P65-F1 (See it at Walmart). Compared to last year’s model, it has a higher light output for better HDR, and it just looks more stylish. Its $1,200 price (street) puts it in a crowded market though, so let’s see if the improvements help it stand out.
Retail copies of Fallout 76 are not being pulled in preparation for the game going free-to-play.
Rumours began circulating following a video from YouTuber TheQuartering who presented a number of instances of the Standard Edition of Fallout being unavailable on Australian retailer EB Games’ website and having notably low stock on Amazon.com.
In the video, he speculates that the game could be going free-to-play, with the video description reading, “Someone reached out to me from EB Games in Australia and mentioned the game was likely to go free to play.”
After gathering momentum on Reddit, one player asked the developer outright on Twitter about this rumour, saying they would want a refund if the there was any truth to claims.
Ahead of Anthem’s launch next month, BioWare will release a public demo for its new open-world game, and you’ll be able to get an exclusive first look at what to expect this Thursday, right here on IGN.
Read on for a rundown of when and where to watch the Anthem VIP Demo world premiere.
BioWare will join IGN to livestream the Anthem VIP Demo on Thursday, January 24 at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm UK (Friday, January 25 at 5am AET).

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s first DLC character, Piranha Plant, is coming very soon. The new fighter is slated to arrive this February, and unlike Persona 5’s Joker, it won’t be included as part of the game’s Fighters Pass. However, early adopters will be able to receive the character free of charge–but your time to get it is running out.
To receive Piranha Plant for free, you’ll need to register your copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on My Nintendo by January 31. This was done automatically if you purchased the game digitally through the Switch Eshop, but if you picked up a physical copy, you’ll need to register it by pressing the plus button while highlighting the game’s icon in the Switch menu, then selecting the My Nintendo Rewards option.
Once you’ve registered the game, you’ll receive an email containing a download code for Piranha Plant to the address linked to your My Nintendo account within 10 days. Redeem the code in the Switch Eshop and Piranha Plant will automatically be added to your game once it launches. You’ll have until 11:59 PM PT on June 30 to redeem the code. If you miss the cutoff date, Piranha Plant will also be offered as paid DLC separate from the Fighters Pass.
Nintendo has still yet to announce exactly when Piranha Plant will arrive, but the character is scheduled to release sometime in February. We got a brief look at its unique fighting style during the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct last November. As in Mario’s platforming games, it’s able to spit poison and spiked balls at opponents, while its Final Smash summons Petey Piranha.
Beyond Piranha Plant, Nintendo will release five other DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the first of whom will be the aforementioned Joker. Each fighter will be released individually alongside a new stage and multiple music tracks for $6, but players can get all five at a discounted price through the $25 Fighters Pass.
