Now, Nintendo is dropping the latest revision of the hybrid portable console—the Nintendo Switch OLED. While it might not be the rumored 4K revision of the

Though most games have that one esports event where the most talented individuals clash for glory, not many of them can compete with the prize pool of Dota 2’s The International (TI).

Players of World War II-era CoD games will remember the PPSh-41, a submachine gun of a bygone era.
