Fair game for girls

GC News | Gamecube

Nov 20, 2007 The female of the species is reportedly deadlier than the male. But judging by the appearance of the Frag Dolls (Ubisoft-sponsored female pro gamers), ‘deadly means ‘clothing optional. In many a publicity event and magazine spread, the Dolls wear tiny hot pants, work out on exercise bikes and say things like, “Breasts and butt only come into play as an advantageous distraction.” Is it sexist? Regardless, its a clichéd, age-old representation of women ...

Who owns the best game developers?

GC News | Gamecube

Nov 20, 2007 Blizzard, Bizarre, Rockstar, Creative Assembly... These are some of gaming's biggest names in development, with some of the world's best games under their belts. But who owns these brainiac studios? And, more importantly, which publisher has the best collection of in-house devs? We thought we'd find out. We've taken stock of the more notable studios (that is, those devs not condemned to creating endless mobile phone games) and the big-name publishers who pay their wages, issue ...

Trailer Trash

GC News | Gamecube

Nov 16, 2007 Ghostbusters News Watch the 17 seconds that set the internets on fire. The Ghostbusters game has been the subject of rumor-mongering for years, and we finally have concrete proof that they've, well, designed a logo. It's great news, for sure, but totally underwhelming as a piece of promotional media. Here's to hoping that the next one will actually show a pixel or two of something that's actually in the ...

The Video Zone

GC News | Gamecube

Nov 16, 2007 All hail the Internetz! Procrastination has never been so optimized. These cinematic oddballs are the fruits of our Sunday drive out on Al Gore's Info-super-highway. Some are "teh r0x0rz," some are "teh sux0rz," while most fall somewhere into "teh medi0crez." But you can rest assured that when GamesRadar showcases the work of YouTube nutcases, it's certifiably "r0x0rific!" We've scoured the internet for hilarious and just plain weird crap supplied by fellow gamers. So put on your ...

What game ads looked like when the SNES was alive

GC News | Gamecube

16 Nov, 2007 Sometimes we like adverts. As long as they're clever. Or arty. Or have got monkeys in. Or ladies that look like they want to touch us in the pants. They're all pretty good. The other kind of advert that we like are old ones. Even if they're completely rubbish - and mostly they are - they still hold a certain irresistible, nostalgic charm. And we're sure 'veteran' gamers will feel inclined to agree as they browse the next few pages, where we've generously gathered a veritable ...

The Germans call this shameful pleasure schadenfreude, and weve scraped the dregs of fan-made films featuring the most painful and humiliating moments of gamers gone wrong. Enjoy them, you cold-hearted bastard, ...

Nine mini-games you've never seen

GC News | Gamecube

Nov 13, 2007 Mini-games are everywhere. Videogames have gotten so big that we no longer bat an eyelid if they contain one or many bite-sized distractions that, twenty years ago, we probably wouldve been paying full price for. Hell, thanks mostly to Nintendos DS and Wii, its no longer a shock to see games made up from nothing but dozens of sub-games. Some mini-games are amazing. Some are generic trash. Some pay heart-patting homage to yesteryear. Some are daft, ill-advised experiments that some ...
