Forza Horizon 3 Is Mind-Blowing in 4K

Driving through the iconic red dirt of the Australian outback, I watched intently as my BMW spun up the dust behind it, scattering it unevenly across the screen.

Why Prize Pools Don’t Matter in Esports Anymore

I’ve been professionally involved in esports since 2010 - not as long as some of the old timers like Sir Scoots (love you Scott), but long enough to have seen the industry change very rapidly, thanks in large part to a huge flood of sponsors entering the scene.

At the time, pro players like Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson began saying to me that this amount of money just can’t be ignored. That this was a true difference maker between tournament providers.

New Fear the Walking Dead Return Photos

Fear the Walking Dead returns for the second half of Season 2 on August 21st and IGN has your first look at new photos from the series.
