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 ...<br/>PC featureFeb 8, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/f/dark-sector-interview/a-20070314154323594056Dark 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, ...<br/>PS3 featureMar 14, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-darkness/a-20070730121228857093A 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. ...<br/>PS3 featureJul 30, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/f/the-darkness-exclusive-developer-walkthrough-video/a-20070620113115810080We recently managed to haul Lars Johansson, producer of The Darkness, out of the shadows of the Starbreeze studios and into the light to talk us through two levels of his supernatural horror thriller. Joining him for the commentary were art director, Jens Mathies, and the lead gameplay designer, Fredrik Ljungdahl. The walkthrough is presented in two parts, both of which you can find below.

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 ...<br/>360 featureMay 2, 2006http://www.gamesradar.com/f/dead-rising-signed-sealed-developed/a-20060907163542468028Thursday 7 September 2006 How many ways can you kill a zombie? 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 ...<br/>360 featureSep 7, 2006http://www.gamesradar.com/f/7-dead-rising-weapons-to-die-for/a-2006083016655815034In a game where nearly everything can be used as a weapon - even the remains of your enemies - it's hard to know which objects are the most effective dealers of pain. The smorgasbord of killing apparatus in Dead Rising can fill up your valuable inventory slots all too quickly, but which are the most worthwhile of your limited space? Allow us to help.

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.

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.

Unsurprisingly, this prompted a few readers to crawl slowly out of the woodwork, chanting in arcane rhythms about "framerate" and "processing power" and "memory" and generally calling bullshit on our assertion. Having finally received near-complete versions of the game from Capcom, ...<br/>PS3 featureDec 21, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/f/devil-may-cry-4-a-week-of-exclusives/a-20070423132441271092When you look back at what the PlayStation 2 is, the tone for action-adventure games was entirely set by the original Devil May Cry. The series shaped the very way we think about 3D action, sword fighting, gun slinging and adventure. With Devil May Cry 4 set to hit the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 later this year, the developers at Capcom are banking that they can recapture the lighting in a bottle that made the series such a formidable killer the first time around. Over the course of the ...<br/>PS3 featureApr 27, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/f/devil-may-cry-4-hands-on/a-20070426173134539048Devil May Cry shaped the very way we look at action-adventure games on the PlayStation 2. It wasn't until God of War came along, four years later, that we even began to consider new ways to play them. So now that we're moving to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, what does Devil May Cry 4 do that will yank the series back into the spotlight? Well, the obvious answer, and the most immediate one when you finally sit down in front of Devil May Cry 4, is "look really pretty."

One minute hes fighting hells lava-spewing minions - the next hes shooting a giant canary on a pirate ship. Before lunch hes murdering hordes of marionettes - afterwards hes slicing up an orangutan in an abandoned train station. In a world of increasingly humanoid bosses, Devil May Cry takes the grand old tradition of packing some of the most misshapen, misguided and mental bosses possible into ...<br/>PS3 featureApr 24, 2007http://www.gamesradar.com/f/devil-may-cry-4-interview-the-men-behind-the-mayhem/a-20070423171113403002When we traveled to Japan to check out Devil May Cry 4, we were give an opportunity to sit down with the game's director, Hideaki Itsuno and its producer, Hiroyuki Kobayashi.

The key is to design a character who is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also someone you care about and believe in.
