The virtual junkie's guide to gaming's drug spots

GC News | Gamecube

1 Nov, 2007 The junkie typically resides in the lowest sewers of humanity. Whether crack addict, alcoholic, coke head or speed freak, sustaining a habit of excessive drug taking is a tangle-footed stagger along life's shadiest alleyways with few rewards, but with plenty of broken souls and vomit-stained hardships. In the magical make-believe lands of gaming, however, the pursuit of substance abuse can be indulged without suffering any consequence more severe than a harmless Game Over. Which ...

Has Mario Kart lost its style?

GC News | Gamecube

Oct 30, 2007 Sometimes a game comes along that makes you sit up and think 'that's awesome'. When that happens, a sequel is inevitable. But some aspects are revised in the name of 'progress' and step away from the original, ever so slightly. Problem is, with every advance, the early magic that made us think it was awesome in the first place is often lost in translation. These are some massive franchises that strayed from their own brilliant path and turned into something else. They may still ...

The Top 7... worst jobs for game characters

GC News | Gamecube

Oct 29, 2007 Everyone wants to be a hero. We don't play games to come in second or fawn over other people's abilities - no, we play to win. To conquer. To finish first. That's why all of our favorite characters have such fantastic jobs, from secret agent to bounty hunter to professional demon eater. But what about those poor bastards who make the video game world possible? They get the shit jobs, of course. They're all unremarkable slobs who've failed to stand out in any way whatsoever. ...

Trailer Trash

GC News | Gamecube

Oct 26, 2007 Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games News | Features | Screens | Movies There are two key features that make this a must-watch trailer. First, the opening underwater shots of Princess Peach dolphin-kicking are enough to send Francis the nerdy lizard into an epileptic fit. After these opening seconds, the boredom starts to set in, but don't miss the hilarious overdubbed banter from the players. So realistic, it's like they planted a mic in your living ...

You're a BASTARD! - The 10 most villainous games...

GC News | Gamecube

Oct 25, 2007 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). Boo to ...

The Top 7... WTF?! Endings

GC News | Gamecube

Oct 22, 2007 The hard part's over. You've finished every mission. You've collected every power up. You've beaten every boss. You've saved the world and probably a few princesses to boot. Now all you want is your reward - some long awaited, richly deserved resolution. You won't find it here. No, these seven games have that other kind of ending. The kind that mocks you, disappoints you, angers you and just plain baffles you all at once. The kind that answers nothing but adds a maddening amount ...

Dealing with ad-versity

GC News | Gamecube

Oct 22, 2007 Ten years ago, Nintendo asked us if we were going to save the girl, or play like one. Five years ago, Nintendo proudly announced that the Game Boy SP was “For Men.” This year, however, the posterchild for the Nintendo DS is certified girlie Nicole Kidman, who, like most 40 year-olds, has turned to Dr. Kawashima in order to delay the inevitable reality that hits all people once they hit the big four-oh. (A withered, atrophied brain resulting in a complete inability to ...

Mass Effect News | Previews | Screens In this interview, Seth Green insightfully points out that Mass Effect is "like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book." His commentary is uncharacteristically drab, more akin to a cliche-slinging PR drone than a comedic genius. Though his games editorial skills may not have been their sharpest the day the interview was conducted, we'd still hire him in a second. And, we're dying to play his hip-hop RPG "Play the Industry," which will certainly be heckled here ...

Forget Halo - Horsez is the best game ever

GC News | Gamecube

Oct 17, 2007 You've seen them on the shelf. You've seen them in the discount bins. You've even seen them proudly displayed in Wal-Mart ads across the country. For whatever reason, these "take care of virtual pets" games are all the rage, from horses to hamsters to, of all things, human babies. But who actually plays these monstrosities? No one you know, right? Right? Well, someone does because the internet is bursting with opinions on each and every one. The EB Games comment section is an ...
