GC Feature | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
This one's got a lot to live up to. Twilight Princess has to answer to jabbering nutcases who moaned about Link looking like a Disney cartoon; prove that The Wind Waker's drawn-out Triforce-hunting tedium wasn't the first sign that Nintendo is shedding its coat of magical brilliance; and, of course, make Zelda fans very, very happy. And it's one of the first games to let us feel why Revolution is the future. As we revealed back in December, stick Twilight Princess into Ninty's next console and ...

Impressive as PSP has been so far, this is the year it really takes off. Some very big titles are coming, but not all of the most promising stuff is high-profile. At least, not yet. So take a look through this top 10 and make some notes. You really don't want to miss out. Tomb Raider: Legend By Eidos | Out May 9, 2006 Legend is gorgeous for a PS2 game, and almost as gorgeous running on the diminutive PSP (we're not guessing; we know).

Wii Feature | Wii
Revolution will be better than the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Put together. It'll be more compelling, more interesting, more exciting and have better games. Crazy talk? The inane twitterings of a shattered mind? Unfocused fanboy enthuseo-blab? Not a bit of it. Revolution will be bestest. And you'd be a donkey to think otherwise. Here's why. 1) It'll cost you less Let's start with what matters most: money. Who cares if Solid Snake hacks up a photorealistic lung if it takes a second ...

Everyone's making a big fuss about the Revolution's motion-sensitive controller. And yes, the device could change the way games are played forever. It also stands an excellent chance of attracting gamers back who never touched a PS2 or Xbox. But there's more to this magic box than its eyebrow-raising wand. The most immediate thing you'll notice about the Revolution is its slim and trim size: it's no bigger than two or three DVD cases stacked on top of each other. While the final color schemes ...

Heard of Revolution's proposed "Virtual Console" service? I'll let gamers download classic old NES, SNES and N64 titles onto the Revolution. Well, a recent survey suggests that the cost of enjoying this service could range from reasonable to maddeningly extreme. Under the pricing outlined in the survey (carried out on behalf of Nintendo and targeting online gamers) classic NES games will go for an attractive $2.99, while N64 software will demand a frankly horrifying $19.99. In better news, a ...

GC Feature | Gamecube
Solid Snake, Master Chief, Mario and Luigi – every console has its poster-boys (sorry girls, the designers and marketers are still striking out on that front). But they cast a long shadow over other titles just as worthy of a look-in: especially the ones that are so different that no-one figures out how to get them into the spotlight in the first place. So spare a thought for the little guys – here are 10 that still need your attention. Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand On GBA | By ...

We're an impatient lot, gamers, and it doesn't help that game development is prone to some whopping delays. Whether it's changing platforms, ambition crashing down to reality, bugs that won't be squelched or just plain bad luck, there's something about hotly-anticipated titles that makes them never turn up on time. Here's a look back over 10 recent waiting games – some past, some ongoing. Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness Lara's ill-fated final expedition with Core Design began PS2 ...
