25 Best Super Smash Bros. Characters
Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. features dozens of characters from our favorite video game franchises beating the crap out of each other, but which fighter is the best? While you could just look at which fighters win the most competitive tournaments and call it a day, we say there’s more to it than that. We’re also looking at what each character brings to the game that’s special, how well they replicate their signature elements, and, very importantly, how much fun they are to play.
Note that this ranking includes only characters that have appeared as fighters up until Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Once we've spent some time with Ultimate and we've seen all of the DLC characters it has to offer, we'll revisit this ranking.
Part Batman, Part Superman and All Green: The Unexpected Appeal of Martian Manhunter
J'onn J'onnz, the Martian Manhunter, isn't exactly the most mainstream superhero in the DC Universe. Despite a relatively top tier booking in the Justice League roster, a handful of animated features, and a live action incarnation courtesy of the CW's Supergirl and actor David Harewood, he's not exactly the sort of character you could show to anyone on the street for immediate recognition -- but what J'onn lacks in Batman or Wonder Woman level fame, he makes up for with a very specific level of relatability, unique to him among his peers. And that's exactly what co-creators Steve Orlando and Riley Rossmo hope to tap into with his brand new limited series, Martian Manhunter, out now.
Fortnite Creative Allows You to Create Your Own Private Island
Epic is set to launch Fortnite Create on December 6, a brand new mode allowing you to customize your own private island which can be saved and used at any time.
Launching the new mode will set players up with their own island where games can be designed, race tracks can be crafted, and battles against your friends can be customized to your liking. Whatever is built and placed will be saved and can later be returned to after shutting off the mode.
While Creative sounds a lot like the already available Playground mode, its biggest difference is the blank canvas that is your private island. Objects like trees, cars, and even entire buildings can be placed to create your own environments. Any weapon or consumable can be spawned and up to 16 players can enter your island.
Starbreeze Offices Raided, Employee Arrested on Suspicion of Insider Trading
Just days after announcing that it had filed for reconstruction and would be parting ways with its CEO, game publisher Starbreeze has had its Stockholm headquarters raided by authorities on suspicion of insider trading.
According to Dagens Industri (via Variety), Starbreeze's offices were raided by authorities, equipment was seized, and one anonymous person was arrested as a result.
Executives at the company reportedly sold back large shares of the company just a few weeks ago. Since the announcement of Starbreeze's financial troubles, stock prices for the studio have fallen by as much as 80 percent.
PUBG Celebrates the Holidays With Festive Gifts
PC players can log into PUBG during December's seasonal event to get kitted out like Rudolph.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' PC players can nab themselves the Festive Beanie with Pom Pom along with a Red Nose by logging into the game during the seasonal event this month. You'll be given the items to wear for the rest of December, but if you'd like to carry them over and give them a permanent home in your inventory, you can.
"Place in the top 10 of any map or non-custom game mode ten times during the event and you’ll get permanent versions to wear all year round," reads the update.
PlayStation Classic Datamine Seems to Reveal 36 Rejected Games
The PlayStation Classic could have had a very different line-up, if a purported datamine of the console is to be believed.
Posted on GitHub, the code dump shows differences between the core PCSX PlayStation emulator and a custom version of that emulator, seemingly the one being used in the micro-console (the PlayStation Classic uses a port of the PCSX emulator to run its games).
If legitimate, those differences include a list of 36 games not included on the release version of the PlayStation Classic, which appear to have been tested for the micro-console, but not included.
Here's that list in full:
Tom Cruise Takes Time Out From Shooting Top Gun 2 for PSA on Motion Smoothing
Tom Cruise has tweeted a PSA about how best to watch Mission: Impossible Fallout, from the set of Top Gun: Maverick.
Motion smoothing is a plague on home entertainment and Tom Cruise is doing his part to wage war against it with the DVD and Blu-ray release of Mission: Impossible Fallout, alongside the film's director, Chris McQuarrie. In a short PSA the pair explain more about motion smoothing and - more importantly - how to turn the thing off.
I’m taking a quick break from filming to tell you the best way to watch Mission: Impossible Fallout (or any movie you love) at home. pic.twitter.com/oW2eTm1IUA
