November 27, 2007 Given a few hours with Sonic Team's new NiGHTS game, would you expect anything less than for GamesRadar to finish it? OK, so admittedly the majority of it had been unlocked already, but after defeating a boss behind a question mark, the final section opened up and we went on to blitz the last level, smash the boss, finish the game and see the credits roll. But fear not - we'll leave any potential spoilers for the final page of this preview, so if you don't want to know what ... » Read More

Vote for Golden Joysticks here!

DS Preview | Nintendo DS

03 Sept 2007 Everyone wants to tell people what they think about games. That's what the forum is full of. Men like you and me sounding off about what we like and what we hate.

DS Preview | Nintendo DS

Though they probably won't feature Donald Trump shaving the head of WWE chairman Mr. McMahon like this year's WrestleMania, both the wrestling and gaming worlds are eagerly anticipating what the next round of WWE-licensed titles will hold. In much the way Vince McMahon will be more aerodynamic without his gray coiffure, the SmackDown vs. Raw series is streamlining to be even more intuitive to control while also offering more gameplay depth. As the former rogue promotion of Extreme ... » Read More

E3 06: Wii hands-on

DS Preview | Nintendo DS

As Nintendo's stand was still being built around us, with cranes and fork lift trucks all about, we were ushered into a back walled room secured with an anticipation raising jumbo-jet style locking mechanism for one of the world's first goes on Wii. First things first: the controller. Smaller and shorter than it looked in the original announcement videos, we were warned that it was still a prototype design and that several games at E3 would use it connected to the Wii with a wire that wouldn't ... » Read More

NFS Most Wanted: Played!

DS Preview | Nintendo DS

Compared to EA's newest racing acquisition Burnout, the last Need for Speed outing was a little underwhelming. While it sold well to those gamers who prefer to spend their money on fully established, 'safe' buys, Need for Speed wasn't anywhere near Burnout's level. However, thanks to the new graphical splendour bestowed upon this new iteration by the advanced power of Xbox 360 (or should we say, ), NFS has been given a new lease of life. Everything's just so much more intricately detailed ... » Read More
