GC - Madden NFL 06 - 'Voice of God' heir battles NFL Films over Madden program

If you're a football fan, you've surely heard the voice of the late John Facenda. Facenda, a beloved Philadelphia newscaster from 1948-1973, gained national recognition for his voice-over work with NFL Films in the latter part of his career.

However, a lawsuit filed by Facenda's son alleges that the NFL allowed Electronic Arts to use the announcer's voice to promote Madden 2006 in violation of a contract Facenda signed before his death.

The Sexual Politics Of The Mushroom Kingdom

GC News | Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour

9th Dec, 2008 Just what in the hell is going on with Mario and Peach? It was so simple back in the old NES days of Super Mario Bros. She got herself kidnapped, he went after her with the help of Luigi, and all ended happily ever after. Or so we thought. The thing is that it didn't really. It's become ever more apparent that since that first rescue things have only ever got messier, dirtier and more manipulative in their relationship. Far from the innocent damsel and hero set-up that appeared ...

Mario Party 7 screenshots

GC News | Mario Party 7

It's time to party like it's... that time of year again, as Nintendo preps yet another instalment of Mario Party for release on Gamecube. We're celebrating the prospect of Mario Party 7 with a plateful of sugar-covered screens, and maybe some jelly sandwiches. We'll put some candles in them later, if the internet lets us. Mario Party is one of Nintendo's most enduring franchises, but far from its best, offering collections of mad multiplayer minigames that rarely fail to result in some ...

Gaming's biggest movie rip-offs

GC News | Medal of Honor: Frontline

The relationship between games and movies has always been a tense one. There's something almost violently alchemical about the way the two media usually react to each other. It's like getting hit by a yellow, piss-soaked snowball. Either element can be unpleasant enough on its own, but put them both together and something far more horrible happens. Games of movies, movies of games, they're both usually about as much fun as the death of a clown at a ten year-old's birthday party. But still we ...

Metal Gear Solid PSOne headed for PSN

GC News | Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

As the PSOne games on PSN drought continues on this side of the planet, Japan's Famitsu magazine has revealed that the original Metal Gear Solid will be hitting the PSN in spring for play on PS3 and PSP. MGS was, in case you lived in the Himalayas at the time, one of the best games on the PSOne - a platform-defining title upon which the whole modern MGS craze was built. Its arrival on the PSN would be sweet. But there is, ...

The dying game

GC News | Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Sep 28, 2007 Game over. Continue? If only life was that simple. We've all died thousands of times in videogames. But never do we think 'well, that's it then' and put the pad down. There's nearly always the prospect of another life or a continue, or at worst having to start afresh with a new game. But game death has given us so many memorable sequences. Ever since Pac-Man's mouth widened to envelop his entire self with that classic descending soundclip, game developers have sought to make ...

Keanu Reeves as Solid Snake?

GC News | Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Sept 13 2007 Christian Bale is "tipped to play Solid Snake" in a forthcoming film version of Metal Gear Solid, according to Nuts, the UK's weekly tits-and-giggles mag. Sound like a good fit? We're convinced of his credentials, but who else could challenge Bale's bid to star as the bandana-wearing operative? We've drawn up a handful of likely lads, and judged them on the only attributes that matter when assuming the role of Metal Gear's leading man. If you've got different ideas, though, get ...

The History of Metroid

GC News | Metroid Prime

Oct 23, 2007 The Metroid series has always been a victim of bad timing. It's one of the most critically acclaimed franchises in gaming. But thanks to dodgy release dates, internal politics and Nintendo's own disbelief in the franchise that's never quite rivalled the mighty Mario and Zelda series. Wrong place, wrong time? 1986; Atari was old news and the NES had successfully prevented the industry from spiralling into an imploding crash. 33-year-old Shigeru Miyamoto's hot-selling Super Mario ...
