Dec 7, 2007 Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball Screens The pirates vs ninjas meme is deader than Ol Dirty Bastard. Why, then, must we suffer a video in which a bunch of Ren-fair dropouts run around Staten Island shouting, “Arrrr!!” at random motorists? Let it die already, please. It is a matter of historical fact that ninjas are the true holders of real ultimate power. Watch the video if you must, but you might pay for it with a raging case of scurvy. Suggest you immediately apply a ...

Gaming's greatest ex-cons

GC News | Gamecube

Dec 6, 2007 What do James Earl Cash, Tommy Vercetti and Sam Fisher all have in common? Two things: First, they've all got criminal records and hard time under their belts. Second, they're not real. They're characters in games. But for every fictional Riddick or Torque, there are dozens of people with very real criminal records who've lent their likenesses and/or voices to games. After literally minutes of exhaustive research at sources like The Smoking Gun (which is also where we lifted most ...

You know games are taking over your life when...

GC News | Gamecube

6 Dec, 2007 We heart games. You heart games. But sometimes a dangerous line is crossed and our passionate hobby becomes an outright obsessive occupation. And that's when things can get ugly and/or unhealthy. That's when you need to take a step back and explore that wonderful world outside your window. Go shopping, kick a ball around or, hell, even talk to friends without using a headset. But how do you know when games are taking over your life? A few sure-fire indications would be, say, ...

Game music worth putting on your iPod

GC News | Gamecube

Dec 6, 2007 With Super Mario Galaxy being critically acclaimed not only for its timeless platforming gameplay but also for its brilliant musical score, we got to thinking about other games that had great music. In fact, music so good it's worthy of listening to in its own right, outside of the context of a game. Now, we must stress that musical opinion is different for every single person, so you may disagree entirely with the examples we've got here. But, with the variety we've got on offer, ...

Videogame crime report, 2007

GC News | Gamecube

5th Dec, 2007 You might have read last weeks story on how Texan police have used the promise of free Xbox 360s to lure fugitive crimials out of hiding. While its a downright hilarious example to round off the year with, 2007 has been crammed like an over-crowded prison with tales of videogame-related crime. Of course, were not talking about games themselves inciting violent outbursts in those who play them (Calm down Jack!). No, rather this year has seen a staggering amount of crime stories ...

The Top 7... WTF?! Endings, Part 2

GC News | Gamecube

3 Dec, 2007 Youve put the hours in. Youve sweated, cursed, grumbled and jumped through myriad hoops, in return for what was (hopefully) a rollercoaster of top-flight entertainment. Youve finished the game. Its now time to step away from the controller and bask in your badassness as the camera rolls on some swish cut-scene finery that documents just how awesomely and valiantly you saved the world. Well, thats the theory. Sometimes, things dont end well. Sometimes they dont end at all. ...

Nov 30, 2007 PAIN Screens If you loved Crusty Demons and Flat Out, you will simply adore PAIN's insane ragdoll playground. Using a giant slingshot, you launch donkeys and mimes at monkeys and exploding barrels. Forget Home's tedious vacant lots overgrowing with virtual weeds; this is PlayStation Network's killer app. Mimes ...

The N bomb!

GC News | Gamecube

Nov 29, 2007 noob Pronunciation: \nüb\ Function: noun 1: A longtime member of a community who is disliked and bothers others with ignorant and rude behavior 2: Someone who reads (or writes) an article about how to not be a noob Elitism has a way of rearing its ugly head wherever people gather. It seems we cant resist creating a hierarchy of leaders, followers, those who are cool, and those who just plain suck. Online gaming is no exception, and at the bottom of the food chain lies the ...

Not Final Fantasy

GC News | Gamecube

Nov 28, 2007 We can all agree that Final Fantasy is the world's favorite RPG series. The problem with its immense popularity is that the number two favorite series, Dragon Quest, is owned by the same company - Square-Enix. Millions of devoted gamers stick to these two franchises (or others created by mega-developer) instead of branching out and trying something that doesn't have "Square" or "Enix" on the box. But you really should take a chance on something else for a change. Let the other ...

Wait, hold on. Nobody wishes for those last three, and yet, entire gaming franchises have been built on the crazy notion that ...
