Can The Walking Dead Reboots Find Their Way Back to Greatness?
This post contains spoilers for Season 9 of The Walking Dead and Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead.
Season 9 of The Walking Dead said goodbye to Rick Grimes - sending him off in a helicopter for a three-movie adventure - and Season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead killed off Madison Clark, which leaves us with some big questions about how these shows will continue without the characters who served as our entry point into the zombie apocalypse. With recent tone and perspective shifts on both shows, it definitely feels like The Walking Dead universe is evolving.

Most Devastating Finishing Moves in WWE History
"It's all over but the screaming!" as Gorilla Monsoon used to shout from the announce table. Or "Stick a fork in him, he's done!" as the ref counted 1-2-3, with certainty. It signaled the absolute end of the match. The hero or villain had landed their textbook, trademark, signature special move and the match was a forgone conclusion. Their foe? Obliterated. Knocked cold. Trampled by sheer power and precision.
Flash-forward decades later, from the heyday of Monsoon and co-commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and a WWE Superstar's finisher doesn't always guarantee a win, as the trend is to have opponents kick out of what used to be killer maneuvers, especially during important matches on super-hyped cards. But if you grade on a curve you can still figure out which of today's finishers are the most revered. They may have to be used twice sometimes, but they'll still get the job done.

6 Exclusive Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Character Posters
Greetings, true believers! We have six exclusive new character posters for you to enjoy from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sony's upcoming animated feature film based on the Marvel Comics characters.
The posters in the slideshow below feature Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore), Peter Parker (voiced by Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (voiced by Nicolas Cage), Peni Parker (voiced by Kimiko Glenn), and Spider-Ham (voiced by John Mulaney).
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the origin story of how high schooler Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man following the death of his dimension's Peter Parker. For the first time, a Spider-Man movie revolves around a central character who isn't Peter Parker. The latter is in the film, but it's an older, slightly more jaded incarnation of the character, this one from another dimension. But Peter isn't the only other-dimensional wall-crawler Miles allies with here.

13 Ridiculous Physics-Based Moments in Just Cause 4 – IGN First
I mean you could like Just Cause for the story. You might be interested in the dark history of the South American island nation of Solís, and its connection to Rico Rodriguez. And perhaps the hero's ongoing intercontinental tussle with the Black Hand gets you going.
But my guess is that the majority of people are into Just Cause for what happens in between the story – the ridiculous explosions, the grappling hook tethers, the complex interplay of car, building and NPCs' faces.
And somewhere, underneath it all, there's a physics engine struggling to make sense of all of this and, just occasionally, reacting in completely insane ways. My friends, if this is your thing, our latest IGN First video is for you.
Boom Blox Dev: Steven Spielberg Says He Played a LOT of Pong While Filming Jaws
Steven Spielberg, the iconic director behind films such as E.T., Jurassic Park, and Saving Private Ryan, reportedly played quite a bit of Pong in his day.
In this month’s IGN Unfiltered, Underworld Ascendant creative director Joe Fielder mused about his brief time working alongside the enigmatic filmmaker on 2008’s Boom Blox.
“Spielberg, he came up with the initial idea for throwing the ball and would check in regularly,” Fielder said. “It was great to be able to tell my dad 'Steven Spielberg stopped by my desk the other day.' He's a gamer. He told a story about how he first got introduced to games, when he was working on Jaws. Richard Dreyfuss said 'Oh, come here. You've got to check this out.' He and Steven Spielberg went off and played Pong on one of the piers until the machine was full of quarters and couldn't play anymore. So that was his in for video games.”
