Feature | Gambling with pandas might be better than gambling with money
Liar's poker.
What do you do after you fix chess? You fix poker, apparently. Not that this was game designer David Sirlin's intention with Pandante, his Kickstarter-funded card game, of course. In fact, all he initially wanted to do was create a game about lying - more specifically, a game about lying pandas.

Digital Foundry | Tech Analysis: Next-generation game broadcasting
Xbox One, PS4 and PC let you share your gameplay with the world. Digital Foundry investigates the technology.
It's a game-changer.

Digital Foundry | Digital Foundry vs. Super Mario 3D World

We already know the game itself lives up to expectations, but the technology behind 3D World plays a critical role in that success.

Opinion | In praise of early adopters
Let's hear it for friends who splash out on day one.
A few generations back, a friend and I established a pretty nice launch-day ritual. When there was new hardware to try, I'd rise at rosy dawn, grab donuts, and get on a train to meet my pal who buys every console the minute it comes out.

Even taking into consideration the course maker and associated GPS data logging that's due in the coming months or - and take this one with a pinch of salt - the improved sound effects that Polyphony Digital plans to patch in, it likely won't ever feel like the final article.
