Atari has announced that its upcoming open-world drive-a-thon, Test Drive Unlimited 2, will hit shelves on February 8 for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The game has players zooming around the gorgeous island of Ibeza, which sounds a hell of a lot better than what I plan on doing in February. (Hint: It involves climbing into bed under a warm blanket.)
