10 Steps to a Rhythm Heaven

GC Feature | Odama

To posses an inner metronome is a glorious thing; the dance floor becomes your domain; the lead role in the trash-wanging musical sensation Stomp is yours for the taking; you find that people will like you better as you bop on your merry way. Alas, were not all so blessed. But the musically challenged need fear no longer - were here to help. Welcome to our ten-step program, turning the rhythmically bare into Fred Astaire, all with the power of ...

Five reasons you suck if you don't play Okami

Wii Feature | Okami

If you didn't go out and buy Okami, you suck. Period. Okami is one of the best games that hardly anyone played. Despite having received rave reviews and numerous awards - including our very own “Too Beautiful to Live” accolade - sales for the title were lackluster. What the hell, gamers? Do you want to play crap like Deer Hunter 17 and Bratz: Inappropriately Sexed-Up Pre-Teens all your life?Luckily, the Wii version of Okami is just ...

Top 7... Death Rattle Games

Wii Feature | Okami

We'd like to think that every developer sets out to make the perfect game. But as budgets swell, stockholders throw tantrums, and release dates draw near, there's a whole myriad of snafus can explode in the face of well meaning folks. Plenty of games spit in the eye of gamers’ expectations and miscarry at retailers every year - that’s not special. These games are the great white whales that tanked so hard they dragged entire companies down with them. ...

10 reasons why Okami is a mad masterpiece

PS2 Feature | Okami

1) It lets you control time One of the most visually-appealing and useful abilities is being able to control the time of day by drawing either a sun or a moon in the sky. Draw a moon and the bright sky will be slowly consumed by bleeding black ink, bringing with it nightfall. Draw a sun and a gorgeous spinning orb of heavenly glory makes it sparkle and scares off tougher enemies. This becomes more and more useful later in the game when certain missions only become available at a certain time ...

The Legend of Okami

PS2 Feature | Okami

They say flattery will get you everywhere, and that imitation is the sincerest form of such behavior. But is there a limit to how much you can ape something before it crosses the line of "homage" into "ripoff?" Well, when the result is a game as life-changing as Okami, we're content to let it take everything that makes The Legend of Zelda a masterpiece and copy it any day of the week. Spending no more than a few hours with Okami will reveal how much it plays like a new Zelda game. You've got a ...

Operation Flashpoint: The sequel

PC Feature | Operation Flashpoint

Bohemia's battle plans aren't simple. They're positively complicated. It's working on two Flashpoint sequels, for a start. The first pressing on the boundaries of the original, critically-acclaimed Operation Flashpoint. The second game pressing on boundaries full stop. Operation Flashpoint was a tactical shooter like no other. Set during a hypothetical Soviet invasion of the West, its vast scale made you feel like a small cog caught in the wheel of a very large war. The lulls between ...

The Top 7... inanimate objects

360 Feature | The Orange Box

Inanimate objects. Wow, we must really be out of ideas, huh?

For our consideration, the items have to be ...
