Wii - Manhunt 2 - 50 Reasons you're a crappy customer

Not too long ago GR threw a big ol' pillow fight we called The Week of Hate. We got a lot of crap off our chest, and the internet rejoiced in the only way it knows how: with an amusingly disproportionate amount of resentment. And that’s beautiful! We’re all about venting here. It’s extremely therapeutic.

So, when the employees of an actual Minnesota game store sent us a list of the 50 things they hate about their customers, we couldn’t help but chuckle in agreement. Our office contains more than a few veterans of retail, and we can confirm that many of you stroll into your local GameStop completely unaware of how much of an ass you are.

Consumers: The time has come to educate yourself! Because for most of you, it’s not a question of which number below represents you - it’s how many. ...

Wii Feature | Manhunt 2
21st Dec, 2007 So, the BBFC has decided to take the Manhunt 2 debacle a step further. You might remember that last week the games UK ban was finally overturned by the Video Appeals Commission. Cue much rejoicing and popping of corks all round at Rockstar. But now things are different. Rather than accepting the decision, the BBFC has decided to take the matter to the High Court for a judicial ...

PSP Feature | Manhunt 2
Nov 2, 2007 As most everyone on the planet has heard by now, Grand Theft Auto publishers Rockstar made a game called Manhunt 2 that was so gory, they could only get it on store shelves by covering up all the nasty bits. But enterprising hackers have broken into Manhunt 2 and removed the visual filters that covered up all of that nasty stuff. And luckily for us, they're sharing. We've found a nice, long, completely uncensored version of the video lurking about the interweb's nether regions, so ...

PS2 Feature | Manhunt 2
Friday 15 June 2007 Manhunt was all about tension. It was also about suffocating violent sociopaths with carrier bags, but the barbaric brutality was heightened by an ever-present sense of uneasiness that simply refused to let the player relax - even after a blood-hungry hunter had been successfully decapitated with a length of wire. After giving us an insight into Manhunt 2's environments, developer Rockstar now talks about some of the mechanics that will make Manhunt 2 an even more ...

PS2 Feature | Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
Bloc Party's song "Helicopter" can make anything amazing, but it didn't have to work too hard during the tram-ride sequence in Getting Up. Say what you will about the game, but frantically leaping between four aerial cable cars and shimmying around their edges to spray paint a single giant message - all while dodging machinegun fire and tossing riot cops - felt overwhelmingly badass the first time we did it. ...

Wii Feature | Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
A 15-year rivalry ends this Christmas as gaming's favorite mascots finally meet head-to-head in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. The Olympics genre has already been done many times before, with plenty of success and just as much button-mashing (Track and Field excluded). So how is Sega going to take the games forward when Luigi, Tails and co. brandish the torch? Sega's UK Product manager Grant Gie talked us through an early demo of the Wii version. Sonic and Mario are finally meeting for ...

DS Feature | Mario Kart DS
Beautiful boost It really goes without saying, but corner boost whenever you can. The corner boost is perfect for the twistier, narrower courses like DK Pass. However, some chicanes - such as the final twisty bit of road leading up from the beach to the finish line on Cheep Cheep Beach - are better navigated by finding the straightest line through. Slipstreaming This is where the lower screen comes in useful. Getting a speed boost from slipstreaming can be a game-winning clincher, but it's ...

Wii - Mario Kart Wii - Busted Cheats 3: The worst cheat submissions ever

Everyday we receive hundreds of cheats submissions from people hoping to get their work (and their names) up on CheatPlanet. Some of these people are stupid. These are the absolute worst submissions we've had all week. Like this excerpt from a cheat you'll find on page two:

"…This cheat can only be done by sexy atractive peops like me, so if ur not atractive dnt try it, and then if u do try and it dosent work, ur obviously not as ...

Wii Feature | Mario Kart Wii

So, Nintendo’s got a massive E3 announcement waiting in the wings. But as we detailed yesterday, not two years out the Wii has already blown its wad, unleashing Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Brothers Smash. It really makes you wonder what exactly they’ve got left to pull out of their puffy red hat. Sure, we can speculate about the likelihood of Kid Icarus and Star Fox until we’re blue in the wrist, but never with 100% ...
