Forza Horizon 3‘s Snow Driving Is Almost Too Real

During my first ten minutes in Forza Horizon 3‘s wintry Blizzard Mountain expansion pack, I found myself in a snowstorm so thick I pulled over to wait it out.

Four Years Later, The Wii U Hasn’t Gotten Any Big Price Drops

The Wii U is in an odd spot. It never found the audience Nintendo was hoping for, and after two or three years it was already being phased out in favor of the Switch. Despite that, it’s yet to receive a significant price drop, even as the more-successful PlayStation 4 and Xbox One take detours…

Japan’s Most Intense Rock, Paper, Scissors Competition 

Leave it to Japan to make a friendly game of rock-paper-scissors into an event, complete with cosplay, cheering, and crying.
