What is Shark Week?

Bite the bait and join us as we feast on all things shark

Words: Tyler Nagata, GamesRadar US

Before man invented fire and before dinosaurs roamed the land, sharks ruled our oceans. With no remorse and no mercy, these cold blooded killers have been commanding their aquatic kingdom with an iron dorsal fin, feeding on the weak, and growing stronger in preparation for their inevitable assault against all bi-pedal land-based mammals.

Until now, the sharks have been biding their time, making conspicuous appearances in nature documentary specials, Hollywood movies, videogames, and our favorite episode of Happy Days. Like true predators, they have been coyly playing with their future food, luring us into a false sense of security - and convincing us that mankind still sits safely on top of the food chain. But we know what these beady-eyed beasts are really up to. With each passing day, the shark apocalypse draws nearer, and every breath we take as free men could be our last. That’s why GamesRadar is taking an emergency timeout next week to teach you everything you need to know about sharks.


Above: The shark apocalypse is imminent. Prepare yourself

So get ready to sink your teeth into delicious features covering the deadliest in-game shark attacks, test your knowledge of toothsome shark sprites, and educate yourself on the proper use of a Game Shark. While you’re at it, spend a moment each day to think about how each of our dangerous game-themed features can help you survive a real life emergency. We wish we could speak more directly about the imminent threat sharks pose to humanity and what you can do about it, but we’ve just learned that the sharks now have access to the internet. They’re studying us for signs of weakness, you see. So unfortunately, it’ll be up to you to connect the dots and decipher our coded warnings yourself. But make no mistake. It’s only a matter of time before the sharks break free from their salty sea prison. We just hope that it’s not too late for GamesRadar’s Shark Week to help make a real difference.

Not sure how often you'd really use a
Game Shark nowadays, unless you still play older consoles occasionally.

I expect the sharks from Banjo Kazooie to be involved in one way or another. That includes the gian metal shark. Clanker I think...

For the,
"What is Deep Blue Sea?"

My answer is,

B - Unintentional comedy.

Sci-Fi movies like that are always horribly acted out and turn out hilarious.

@Eureka sometimes the comments are really messed up a mod will delete the second comment or you could report it and all i really play is my ds and wii and ps2

This is why Gamesradar is the best video game journalistic website ever concocted.

Thanks,
and if that's all you play consider buying one.
That's only if you're into cheating, but, considering there aren't things like achievements on those consoles and the DS, you might want to consider buying one if you like cheats.

I also saw your comment on the
Batman: Arkham Asylum preview saying you wish you had a PS3.
Now, I'm not a fanboy or anything, but the I'd really suggest getting 360 if you ever consider buying another next-gen console, it just has a better line up of games than the PS3; I'm not saying the PS3 is bad, its just more of a multimedia player than a gaming console, that's just what I think though, I'm not trying to force you into buying a 360.

I do have both consoles and the Wii, I just never play anything but the 360, that's just me though.

Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin.

Deep Blue Sea is definitely an unintentionaly comedy. It makes me laugh all the time. It's really ridiculous.
Jellyjiggler29  - 3 months 23 days ago 
Uh...Did Discovery channel come up with this or is this like a real like holiday week in the world?
Hurricrane  - 3 months 23 days ago 
arrrrgh, why must you keep bringing up Jaws Unleashed, I want to purge that game from history

I will wear the shark fin hat next week as a sign of solidarity.

The comedy in Deep Blue Sea was unintentional? Well it still makes me laugh my ass off.
