Feature | Driving towards new memories in Forza
Just a ride.
There's this moment in the first (Tobey Maguire) Spider-Man film that my brother and I have turned into one of our in-jokes. Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, played by Regis Philbin, insists on driving him to wherever he needs to go at one point, using the excuse that he "needs the exercise". To drive a car. Which, you know, involves the core of the human body staying put.

Digital Foundry | Halo 3 on PC delivers The Master Chief Collection's best port yet
And prior releases get patched and upgraded.
The Master Chief Collection for PC adds another classic game to its ranks - and the arrival of Halo 3 brings with it terrific performance, the best support yet for high refresh rate gaming and even some nice enhancements to existing games in the collection. Beyond the fact that a genuinely great game is now available to PC gamers, what I particularly like about this release is that running it at 4K 60fps actually gave me a much better appreciation of some of the original game's technical achievements - elements that were hard to spot in the sub-720p Xbox 360 original.

Feature | The Double-A Team: How the Mark of Kri set the stage for Batman
It's all about flow.
Gather round, all who would listen; I have a tale to tell. A tale of warriors and kings, and slightly shonky first-party action games that never quite took off in the early 2000s. This is the tale of The Mark of Kri, and it begins, as all good tales do, with a man walking into a bar. Of course this is no ordinary man - he's the size of a killer whale and has a raven perched on his shoulder. His name is Rau Utu, a good name for a great and noble warrior. He's after a drink and a fight, in any particular order. Luckily, a helpful barman points him in the direction of a nearby bandit camp, and Rau grabs his sword and bird, setting off on a mission that will end in bloodshed, murder and demigodhood. Again, in no particular order.
