Ever wanted to be evil? Really evil? Well, then you're mostly out of luck. Videogames are awash with brooding anti-heroes who are gruff and mean but ultimately good, but genuine villains in the lead role are pretty rare. For that matter, the few games with villainous leads tend to defuse them by pitting them exclusively against people who are even worse than they are (Manhunt, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent), or by playing up the whole "evil" angle for laughs (Overlord, Disgaea).

Rome. It's home to the Colosseum, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Pantheon. But coming soon, there will actually be something cool there - a videogame museum! The ViGaMus will open its doors next year, and the people behind the project say it's the first dedicated museum for videogames to be built outside of the US or Japan...
Get your hands on a PS3... easy
You probably won't be able to buy one this November, but it shouldn't be too hard to get some time with a PlayStation 3 - behind glass, anyway. Sony has announced plans to install 15,000 playable demo kiosks of PS3 at retail locations in the US and Canada in time for the system's launch - five times what the company offered for PS2, our sister site Next Generation reports. It should be pretty simple to figure out if the thing's worth $600 when you see it in
It's that magical time of the year again. Time for family and togetherness. Time for snow and twinkling lights. Time for cookies, candy canes and that barely liquefied nightmare we call egg nog. But, most importantly, time for school vacation, paid days off and a whole bag of new games to play while gathered around the comforting and crackling warmth of our television sets. Yes, it's what the holiday season is all about and we're here to help you make the most of it.
But with a whopping seven
How interesting is a picture of a lanyard? Or a V.I.P cardboard party pass. Probably to most, not very. However, we at GamesRadar have decided to disregard this apparent fact and offer you anyway a selection of the very best in lanyardery, tickets and passes from in and around this year's E3.
Enjoy the artistry. Savor the design craft. Revel in the abysmal photography. Yes ladies and gentlemen, you have been granted an access-all-areas pass to a feature about invites to parties and events you
Out of all the game systems that have ever been released, which one did you hate the most? We didn't ask which one you liked, because let's face it: If you didn't own the one that we owned, you suck.
Most gamers are not affluent enough to own every system that comes out. But being a one-console family instantly puts you on one side of a fence. Historically, when faced with the reality that maybe - just maybe - the game console they didn't buy could have something going for it too, gamers
As reported by our sister site Next Generation, Nintendo's DS Lite is pushing the Japanese game industry to 34% growth over last year, on the back of such hits as the sequel to Brain Age and New Super Mario Bros. Right now, the original DS and DS Lite are the two top selling game consoles in Japan. This news is driving up Nintendo's stock

Wireless signals have always been prohibited on planes, but they don't know when you're playing Mario Kart DS against your mate at the back of the plane, so who cares, right?
Well, now the air police in Japan are wise to our deception and so they've completely banned the use of DS and PSP on flights altogether. Plane journeys just got even more unbearable.
It's down to the same old pish; Japan's transport ministry says that the console's ability to emit electromagnetic waves can

Last night's ceremony for the Videogame BAFTA awards saw multiple winners in the absence of a GTA title to scoff the lot - with double wins for PS2 giant-killer Shadow of the Colossus, handheld joyfest LocoRoco on PSP and multiplatform Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter.
Colossus scooped the Artistic Achievement and Best Action and Adventure Game awards, while LocoRoco won Best Children's Game (we're already writing a strongly worded letter of complaint) and Best Game
The general consensus prior to GamesRadar entering the Culver City studio lot was that this was a make or break press conference for Sony. After the highs of E3 2005 (the one with the PS3), the lows of 2006 (the one with the crab) and more recently, widespread concern that the PS3 isn't selling as well as Sony had hoped, it needed to be a whiz-bang of a show.
It wasn't. But... it was slick, focused and largely free of technical hitches, empty promises and the dreaded target footage. The big
