    Gone Home transports players back to 1995

    Former Bioshock 2 developers create a unique time capsule.

    Historically games haven't done a very good job at recreating what it's like to inhabit a specific time and place. Assassin's Creed 2 may get the surface details of Renaissance Italy down - the architecture, the costumes, and the technology - but I can't tell you how life in Florence differed from life in Venice, aside from the fact that they seemed to both have a lot of stabbing and people yelling "thief!" I've traveled the globe in Call of Duty shooting men in army fatigues and blowing up tanks, but based on that I wouldn't be able to say how modern day Russia differs from Afghanistan, besides one being a bit snowy while the other's a bit sandy.

    Review | Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 review

    The changing of the guard.

    Let's not be coy. We both know why you're here. You want to know if this is the one. Is this the game that will finally turn the tide and see Call of Duty given a bloody good kicking? Believe me, I understand that impulse. We're conditioned to root for the underdog, not to cheer on a champion that's already spent five years on top.

  19. F1 Race Stars review

    Review | F1 Race Stars review

    Kart for kart's sake?

    Cheap cash-in or sweet fan service? Certainly, Codemasters' decision to paste its prized motorsport licence somewhat roughly over the Mario Kart template might look a little calculating - especially when the sport in question is the ruthlessly commercial Formula One. F1 Race Stars is an uncomfortable fit, epitomised by the strangely sinister spectacle of a bobble-headed Michael Schumacher mugging blankly at his rivals on the starting grid - to say nothing of the transformation of Abu Dhabi from a luxury hotel complex in an oil-rich city state into a lush, Arabian Nights fantasy land. (Thank God they didn't do Bahrain.)

  23. Motorola Razr I review

    Digital Foundry | Motorola Razr I review

    Intel is gunning for mobile success, but does it give this Razr the edge? Digital Foundry finds out.

    Chip maker Intel isn't content to just make computer parts these days. The veteran semiconductor manufacturer entered the mobile phone arena - dominated by the likes of Qualcomm and NVIDIA - with its Medfield chipset a while back, which made its UK debut in the likeable Orange San Diego. However, the latest Medfield variant - clocked at a fearsome 2GHz - could mark the beginning of a concerted push by Intel to capture more of what is an incredibly profitable business.

    Spin the Bottle for Wii U uses no TV, "makes the players look at each other"

    From the creators of Dark Room Sex Game comes an "innocent game for innocent kids."

    A Wii U game with a name like Spin the Bottle may evoke horrid memories of a certain dreadful adult-themed mini-game collection on Wii, but the Copenhagen-based KnapNok Games in association with Swedish indie studio Redgrim are taking a decidedly different approach with its up to eight-player party game.
