Abe Lincoln. Charles Darwin. Edge. Between them they’ve mastered the realms of politics, science and writing about overweight Italian plumbers. And, more importantly than any of that, they’re now all 200. Yep, the long-running and respected games mag has just reached its 200th issue, celebrating the landmark event by publishing 200 unique covers.

GBA News | LEGO Batman: The Videogame
Nov 12, 2007 The first official teaser trailer has appeared online for LEGO Batman. The second LEGO tie-in from the studio (and with LEGO Indiana Jones on the way) carries the same old PR tag-line, with TT hoping to take both franchises "and make something unique." Well Star Wars wasn't all that original, but it was certainly bloody good fun (and you can get the missus to play it as well). So far we know pretty much bugger all about Batman, but we reckon it's safe to assume Robin, The Joker ...

PS1 News | Resident Evil 3
Aug 16, 2007 No one really knew what to expect. When we got the invite to flicker/fusion/frequency, it was billed as a videogame-themed installation/performance art experience at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. What we saw when we arrived was truly inspiring. The artists, Rachel Torrey and Steve Dye, had turned the MOMA's state of the art theater into the ultimate gaming setup. Forget your wimpy "home theater," this was "theater theater," as in 60 foot screen and full, throbbing ...

PS1 News | Ghost in the Shell
If there's one thing that can get you pumped to play a game, it's a rockin' intro. Even in this age of overblown cinematics and increasingly elaborate plots spiraling into gaming oblivion, there's something about a few guitar licks and a hint of action that get the gamer juices flowing. Ever since consoles started kicking out high quality music and graphics in the early 90s, we've been addicted to the art of the intro. 7. Ys: The Ark of Napishtim (PlayStation 2, 2005) When this game hit the ...

PS1 News | Grand Theft Auto: London 1969
Ever since the release of 2001's groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto III, there've been seemingly hundreds of games that shamelessly rip off its free-roaming, carjacking open-world formula. But as hard as the pretenders try, there's still only one ...

PS1 News | Metal Gear Solid Integral
It looks like no game is safe from Hollywood - not even Hideo Kojima's legendary Metal Gear series, Sony Pictures Entertainment confirmed yesterday, is indeed being adapted into a full-blown motion picture. "We're working with the Metal Gear guys," Sony Pictures Entertainment Vice Chairman Yair Laundau revealed to Gamespot, following his D.I.C.E. keynote in Las Vegas. "It's a very cinematic game, it really lends itself to movie-telling. But the question is, 'How do you translate Snake's ...

PS1 News | Fear Effect 2
What's hotter than watching a cute princess kiss a fat, middle-aged plumber? Well, anything really, but given the headline above, the answer should be obvious: watching a cute princess kiss another cute princess. It's sexy, it's vaguely taboo and it's pleasantly devoid of bristling mustaches and lingering sewage odors. It's much more common to see girl-on-girl kisses in other media, but it happens in games more often than you'd think. To prove it to you, we've collected the very best ones and ...

Mortal Kombat? King of the bloody games, easy. Doom? No better feeling than perforating demons from hell into pulpy heaps. Dead Rising ? Trauma Center? Gears of War? Yep, yep, yep - seen 'em. You've played these visceral thrills already - hell, everybody ...
