PC Feature | Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Last year's Dark Messiah promised - as have many others - to revolutionize combat in the RPG format. What it did was provide great cast-and-slash action. Decapitations felt deserved, magic was enjoyable and sometimes cleverly used, and the game took the concept of environmental weaponry to its absurd conclusion. The first thing you'd do when you entered a room was look for a chandelier tied precariously to the ceiling or barrels on a curiously high shelf. But if you're thinking about taking a ...

PS3 Feature | Dark Sector
Dark Sector looks special. The sinister third-person action game packs a moody atmosphere and the intriguing, power-absorbent, triple-bladed glaive puts a unique twist on the fighting and puzzles. Despite the game having been in development since 2004, Digital Extremes has remained secretive with its progress - until now. We sat down for a chat with product manager, Josh Austin, who told us all about the structure of his innovative new quest, and how he looks to music, film and, bizarrely, ...

PS3 Feature | The Darkness
A first-person shooter packed to the gills with gruesome deaths and washed-out colors, The Darkness is a far cry from the relatively sunny worlds presented in most superhero games. Its hero, Jackie Estacado, is a mafia hitman who manifests demonic powers just in time to fight against all the hired killers his paranoid former boss sends after him. He's a remorseless killer, and relies on guns just as much as he does the snakelike monsters that emerge from his back when he becomes The Darkness. ...

360 Feature | The Darkness
We can't wait Gears of War By now, we've all seen the jaw-dropping trailer, but we can't wait to get our hands on this festival of frags. Just the thought of burying the end of our chainsaw-gun into the face of a formerly subterranean dwelling Locust monster has our fingers twitching with anticipation. Being able to share the bloodletting with online friends in a little co-op play only makes the prospect of eviscerating Locusts more ...

We have no idea, but the brilliantly blood drenched Dead Rising offers a multitude of amusing and gloriously gratuitous methods to dispatch, disembowel, dismember and decapitate decomposing deadweights. Chainsaw? Lawnmower? Scyth? Bowling ball? Cactus? It's your shout. With Dead Rising's development deadline now dead and buried - it's out for Xbox 360 tomorrow - we scrawled 10 bite-size questions on a hunk of rancid flesh and sent ...

PC Feature | Deer Hunter
The Bambi jokes and the barracking began back in 1998. That was the year Deer Hunter, a $20 title created in eleven hectic weeks by a trio of greenhorns from Sunstorm Interactive, bounded straight to the top of the charts. Players chose equipment, selected a tract of American wilderness and then lost themselves in the patient locating, luring and liquidating of virtual venison. Compared to period FPS games it was all rather pedestrian and ugly. You had to step back a few paces to appreciate ...

PC Feature | Deer Hunter 5
Chaos, mayhem, uproar and riots. That's what GamesRadar seems to have triggered with last week's feature, "The Ten Greatest Years in Videogame History ". We might as well have burned down the internet, for all the email and forum flaming we inspired. Some folks praised us, some wanted us crucified, and one called us "wankers", ignoring that the feature only covered the US market. Granted, we set ourselves up. We knew this feature was so vast, so subjective and so dependent upon reader ...
