With more and more affordable options appearing, and the market getting both cheaper and more advanced, there's plenty on offer when it comes to smartwatches.

Why WWE’s Hell in a Cell Feels Like an Afterthought
WWE's Hell in a Cell PPV comes to us at the tail end of one of the biggest weeks in wrestling history, to the point where it feels almost like an afterthought.
Yes, up until a few hours ago, when half of the card was announced on WWE NOW Live, there were only four matches officially booked for the show - and one of those was just booked Friday night, after SmackDown's debut on FOX! There aren't even any actual match graphics done up for half the show. It's a strange occurrence indeed, this event being caught between SmackDown's big shift to a major network AND the main roster draft that stars next Friday.
To be honest though, I'd have been more than okay with a four match PPV. We've all watched, in the very least, nine hours of wrestling this week already. Give us a two hour show. We'd be forever grateful.
Which ‘Modern’ Star Wars Movie is Best? 30,000 IGN Fans Answered
Welcome to the Internet, where feelings run strong on everything about Star Wars. While the original trilogy is still regarded as a classic series, it’s the modern movies that everyone seems to continue to debate the merits of. So we thought we’d ask the IGN fan community to help us rank every modern Star Wars film, including the prequel trilogy (well, the two released after 2000), the more recent films starring Rey, Finn, and Poe (even though their third film hasn’t released yet), and even Rogue One.
So what modern Star Wars movie did IGN readers love most? A whopping 30,384 of you answered, so check out the results below.

With another New York Comic-Con in the books, and all the pop-culture pixie dust settling on Manhattan's Jacob Javits Center, we've compiled a "Best in Show" for you - from the new Picard trailer to some wicked Walking Dead news to our Watchmen premiere first impressions to Ryan Reynolds saving the digital world in Free Guy.
First though, let's start you off right with some cool-ass cosplay from the convention, including Rocketeer, a Thor/Cap hybrid, Nurse Joker, and characters from Good Omens and Umbrella Academy!

These Gears 5 and Mortal Kombat Figures are Huge
I love it when a collectible toy company touts all my favorite nerd franchises. Gears 5 was an enjoyable romp, and I literally cannot wait for Joe Taslim to ice spike dudes through the face in the Mortal Kombat movie reboot. In the meantime, I’m plenty fine with ogling these new figures from Storm Collectibles.
Storm Collectibles displayed a wide variety of figures from their current collection. We’ve got the cast of Gears 5, including the immense Warden with his dual-wielded murder sticks. There’s the cast of Mortal Kombat in their original garb, including the underrated Smoke and a bloodied Scorpion. The Street Fighter crew is hanging out practicing their Hadoukens. We even get the axe rider from Golden Axe and his ridiculous dragon. Is that Lobo and Doomsday?!
Cast & Creators Talk Batman Beyond 20th Anniversary
The cast and crew of the beloved Warner Bros. Animation series Batman Beyond were at New York Comic Con today to reflect on the show's 20th anniversary and preview the upcoming remastered Blu-ray release. Kevin Conroy (Bruce Wayne), Will Friedle (Terry McGinnis/Batman), and Lauren Tom (Dana Tan) were all on hand, along with producer Alan Burnett, casting director Andrea Romano, and James Tucker, who directed the Emmy-winning episode Eggbaby.
Released in 1999, Batman Beyond was a continuation and spin-off of Batman: The Animated Series and its follow-up The New Batman Adventures. All three shows shared several voice actors, including Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne. Spanning three seasons and a direct-to-video movie, Batman Beyond won two Emmy Awards and three Annie Awards for excellence in animation. Despite initial skepticism about a new Caped Crusader and the show's dark, cyberpunk sensibilities, it gained an enduring following and spawned half a dozen comic book series.
