The Top 7… sexy horses every stud should ride (Feature)

Jul 6, 2009

It’s not easy being a horse, especially a diabetic horse who loves sugar cubes and games. As a proud member of the Equidae family, I don’t give a damn about the new protagonist in Assassin’s Creed II or the stupid non-animal flying device he’ll pilot. I just want to know if Ezio will be riding a freaking horse through the Tuscan countryside. Will he get to mount a Salerno, or perhaps a San Fratello? ...

The ever-changing sizes of Ganon and Link (Feature)

Jun 23, 2009

Last year we revealed the hilariously inconsistent sizes of Mario and Bowser, two of gaming’s most recognizable characters. Makes sense then to give Nintendo’s “serious” hero/villain duo a hard time too, eh? Witness pointy-eared Link change from squat child to lean teen, and the villainous Ganon transform from monster to human and back again. ...

Gaming's most fabulous footwear (Feature)

Apr 27, 2009

We do a lot of list features here at GamesRadar, and each presents its own obstacles. So, just when we think we’ve done it all, a fellow editor throws the gauntlet down with an insurmountable challenge. “Does gaming have a greatest shoe?” Surely.

“I dare you.” ...

Behind the scenes of gaming's great soundtracks (Feature)

Jan 28, 2009

When he started sharing his idea of an orchestra playing music from videogames, people thought the veteran composer Tommy Tallarico was off his rocker. It took him three years to convince publishers and developers that he was sane. “Imagine me making a call to Taito in Japan, asking them for the rights for the score of [1983 arcade hit] Elevator Action. “I’d like to play the theme tune to the game at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Hello... hello?’” ...

Tired of list articles yet? (Feature)

Aug 19, 2008

GamesRadar is no stranger to the list article. Hell, we've posted at least one every week for nearly two years. They're fun to write, easy to read and get the job done in a fraction of the time it'd take you to barf all that information out in non-list form.

But some topics demand a more in-depth touch, and the idea-nauts at GR are more than capable of delivering wordy, researched material for those with enough time to digest it. ...

New Book: The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy (News)

Aug 13, 2008

From the article:

"A new book has popped up on Amazon.com titled The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy. It will be edited by Luke Cuddy and will be released on November 28. The Legend of Zelda is the first video game to get the treatment from any of the philosophy publishers. However, Popular Culture and Philosophy also has World of Warcraft and Philosophy lined up for release sometime in 2009."

If game characters were old (Feature)

Jun 20, 2008

What happened to Snake? With those layered and textured wisps of oh-so-touchable hair, that Rambo-ninja headband, and a perfectly landscaped maze of lovable facial scruff, MGS 2 Snake was downright dreamy. Several years and one blond douchebag later and Snake is back with crow’s feet and the beginnings of a Geraldo Rivera 'stache. If anything is suited for sneaking, it’s the varicose veins crawling up the skin stuffs stretched over his legs. ...

What's next for Nintendo's best? (Feature)

Mar 11, 2008

Each of Nintendo's franchises is weighed down with sequels that deliver a teaspoon of new content amidst gallons of familiar fan service. This pandering ensures the devoted legions happily slam down money for the latest re-imagining of Link, Pikachu, Fox or Samus despite the overall similarity to the previous game. You love it, we love it, but after seeing crowning achievements like Twilight Princess and Prime 3, we can't help but wonder "what ...

Gamers rock out! (Feature)

Feb 27, 2008

When aspiring musicians and the internetz collide, it often results in some of the most unholy power combos the universe has ever seen. We’d even go as far to say that most of these mighty Gods of Rock surpass real-world supergroups like Velvet Revolver and Damn Yankees. YouTube alone holds a treasure trove of musical gems, and these are some of our very most favoritest. And yes, we're including the hand farter. ...

The Sexy Sexy Babes of WonderCon (Feature)

Feb 25, 2008

GDC, SchmeDC. Nothing against Will Wright and Co., but with the degree of fandom and spandex tushy on display, WonderCon is truly the place to be. Where else can you see drool over a scantily-clad female Naruto, while chuckling at morbidly obese Han Solo. No where, dammit! Onward: ...

Marathon Zelda Gamers at it Again (News)

Jan 20, 2008

You may remember last weekend when Kotaku posted about the guys at cameronbanga.com who tried to make it through four Zelda games in 48 hours. Due to some glitches, they weren't able to squeeze in all four games but still managed to raise over $1200 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. So, in an attempt to make up what they couldn't finish, the boys are at it again but this time they have given themselves eleven hours to complete Twilight Princess. The marathon gaming session will again benefit Child's Play and will be the first in a series of charity driven weekend gaming sessions.

Cartoon Spin-Offs: The good, the bad and the WTF!? (Feature)

Jan 10, 2008

Jan 10, 2007 We're all used to seeing games make the jump from small screen to silver screen. But getting sprinkled with a little Hollywood magic isn't the only way that our favourite game characters can be packaged to appeal to a broader audience. Every so often virtual heroes of gaming dodge the bright lights of a blockbuster movie (or, indeed, a veritable cinematic craptacular) and find themselves transformed into a cartoonified persona. But which of gaming's iconic faces have been treated ...

Looking back: The Legend of Zelda (Feature)

Sep 28, 2007

Sept 28, 2007 Nintendo currently owns four of the top 10 best-selling franchises in the video game world. Number one? Of course it's Mario, the bouncy platform king everyone knows. Nipping at his heels are 493 super-powered Pokemon. Charging right behind them, however, is one lone figure riding atop his tireless steed, sword held high in utter triumph and hard-nosed defiance against all other comers. So, even though Mario and Pokemon outrank Link by a wide margin, the latter's mindshare and ...

Time traveling with Link (Feature)

May 23, 2007

Mention Link today and most people will envisage the young wolf boy that inhabits Twilight Princess complete with his signature sword, shield and green tunic. And while theres no denying that this is certainly the best Link has ever looked, hes come along way since he first graced our consoles way back in 1986. Of course it comes as no surprise that Link has taken on a wealth of different looks over his years of adventuring and exploring. He began his adventures as a tiny sprite in The Legend ...

Running through Hyrule one more time to save the world never once feels old, yet ...

Ruined endings - part two (Feature)

Mar 2, 2007

God of War Kratos is totally bad ass - when have you ever killed a god? And the fact that Aries ate an H-bomb for breakfast that morning really added to the effect. Except, now that Kratos is the new God of War, shouldnt we have to kill him in God of War 2? Whatever, just let us rip the eyeballs out of something and dont make us ...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Review)

Dec 22, 2006

We gotta be honest - we're a little surprised to even be writing about a GameCube game at this point. Once Twilight Princess was announced for Wii, everyone just kinda moved on. Why bother playing this version when a widescreen-enabled Wii edition is coming out a month sooner? Well, honestly, there's no reason to play this one over the Wii version, but that doesn't keep the GameCube from delivering one final, glorious experience that no modern adventure can topple. If you're interested in all ...

Game Cube Zelda: Twilight Princess Shortages?! (News)

Dec 12, 2006

When your new console has a single killer-app (and that Twilight Princess -- she's a killer) and another version of the game is supposed to ship almost a month afterward on your very dead old console does it make sense to short supply the old version?

False Alarm: GameCube Zelda:TP won't be at retail in US either [update 2] (News)

GameCube Zelda worries quashed (News)

Oct 12, 2006

Thursday 12 October 2006 After announcing at its monthly conference that Japanese gamers would be forced to use Nintendo's own online shop to purchase the GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Nintendo UK has confirmed to GamesRadar that European gamers will be able to grab a copy from shops as per usual. "Nintendo has no online store in Europe to buy products, therefore The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be available in the UK via the usual retail channels," our ...

Twilight Princess GC Online Only in Japan (News)

Oct 11, 2006

Nintendo's really pushing that Wii version, aren't they? According to Famitsu, Nintendo is only going to offer the Gamecube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess through online order in Japan, leading Digital Battle to speculate:

"The main reason for Nintendo to do this is to avoid both versions of the game in stores at the same time. Because of the Wii launch, they would much rather see the Wii Zelda sell than the GameCube version, and that wouldn't be a guarantee if the two versions are on the same shelf. There is no information on whether this will be the same procedure in Europe and US"

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess new facts unveiled by Eiji Aonuma (News)

Oct 2, 2006

Facts from a feature story on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii (and GameCube).

The game is 70 hours long, including all side-quests according to director Eiji Aonuma. No Wii-connect24 or online support.

Mentioned separately are storyline spoilers.

Zelda GC bumped by the Wii (News)

Sep 19, 2006

Nintendo's GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess won't ship concurrently with the launch of the Wii - in America at least.

It has been delayed, but the news isn't all that bad: it will reach the US on December 11 (a fortnight after the Wii's launch). Given that the Wii is launching in the UK on December 8, that would appear to make it a bit touch-and-go as to whether Twilight Princess for the GameCube will make it into the shops in time for Christmas on these shores.

T Rating for Twilight Princess (News)

Sep 17, 2006

Bill Trinen of Nintendo of America discusses the need to rate The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess T for Teen.

New visions of Twilight Princess (News)

Aug 28, 2006

There's so much riding on Link this time - quite literally, on occasions when he transforms into a wolf - that new screens can only make us want it more. And it's fair to say that the shots Nintendo has released (available by clicking the Images tab) make us want it very much indeed. There are familiar elements: fishing, sprawling fields to cross on horseback. There are elements we've had time to get used to: Link's alternate wolfen form, or the insidious ink-curls of the Twilight Realm. And ...

Zelda art attack (News)

Jul 13, 2006

Just to keep you up with everything Zelda, we've got our hands on a collection of concept artwork from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to share with you. The art includes sketches of new creatures and locations from the new game, which is due for release this year on GameCube and Wii. The star of the game is, of course, Link, who must explore the vast land of Hyrule in order to uncover the mystery of the Twilight Realm, which has plunged the world into darkness. This time Link can turn ...

Zelda: Twilight Princess versions to be near-identical? (News)

Jun 21, 2006

The newest issue of Nintendo Power has confirmation that with the exception of the control scheme, the Gamecube and Wii versions of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be identical. This is probably to avoid the screaming throngs of Gamecube owners that would certainly resort to outright violence upon hearing they were neglected.
has a few interesting tidbits of information.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Preview (News)

Jun 14, 2006

People have been begging for it. We're talking like the old days, back in the days of The Ocarina of Time. A follow-up in The Legend of Zelda series that was worthy of that N64 title, and not just some passerby game that tried to inject some originality into the formula, like the kiddie-transformed Link in The Wind Waker or the Expansion Pak-fueled Majora's Mask. No, we're talking about the need for a full-on Zelda adventure that makes us remember, no, cherish the brand the way we did back on the NES and on the SNES, and with Ocarina. And we waited and waited and waited some more upon the announced Twilight Princess for GameCube/Wii, and it's finally looking like it will surface this fall.

Pre-E3 06: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Preview)

May 9, 2006

In this morning's press conference, Nintendo announced there will be two versions of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess shipping. One will be for the GameCube, the other a specifically-tuned game designed to make use of Wii's newfangled remote control. The current-gen, GameCube version will be the same game, but without the new controller ...

Pre-E3 blowout day five: Nintendo (Feature)

May 5, 2006

We can't wait Metroid Prime 3 There's so little known about any and every Wii title that we could easily just slap the entire console down as our most sought-after E3 experience. But if its games were laid bare for all to see, Metroid Prime 3 is where you'd find us. So far, all anyone's seen of Samus' latest bounty hunt is a brief trailer, where she... exits her ship on a desolate planet. Whee. But we don't really care which creature she's tracking down or what poison-spewing aliens are on ...

A Link to the Revolution (News)

Mar 16, 2006

Immortal game developer and franchise-machine, Shigeru Miyamoto, recently sat down with Nintendo of Europe and finally confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will make use of the motion-controlled Revolution controller. This means that instead of quietly enjoying the game on your couch, you can opt to take the Swing 'n' Scream approach and flail the wand about as if it were your own little Master ...

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Preview)

Feb 28, 2006

There's practically nothing left for those defiantly clinging to their GameCubes. Fortunately, there is one piece of software on the horizon that may end up being the game of the year. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess takes the fantasy series in a different direction while maintaining everything that keeps this tale timeless. There's no doubt the focus will be slaying monsters and exploring a rich overworld, but it's the fragments of information we've obtained that intrigue most - namely ...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Feature)

Feb 28, 2006

This one's got a lot to live up to. Twilight Princess has to answer to jabbering nutcases who moaned about Link looking like a Disney cartoon; prove that The Wind Waker's drawn-out Triforce-hunting tedium wasn't the first sign that Nintendo is shedding its coat of magical brilliance; and, of course, make Zelda fans very, very happy. And it's one of the first games to let us feel why Revolution is the future. As we revealed back in December, stick Twilight Princess into Ninty's next console and ...
