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. Surely, at some point, those pixelated dust clouds suddenly grew in density, or repeated a formation, or even disappeared, but I couldn’t spot those changes. The dust seemed to move as unnaturally and unpredictably as if it were real, individual particles, not purposefully crafted effects, while it slowly coated the back of my car.

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.

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.

In the midseason finale, the characters were split up in some very big ways, with Travis and Chris off together, Madison, Alicia, Ofelia and Strand in a larger group and Nick completely isolated on his own.

In the photos in the gallery below, get a new look at where everyone is, including the group of four having discovered a hotel... But will they find safe haven there or some very unwelcoming guests, of either the living or dead variety?

For much more on Fear the Walking Dead, check out our recent cast interviews from Comic-Con.
