PC Feature | Bad Day L.A.
(You know, this makes more sense if you've read Part 1 first.) GR: What's your favorite aspect of Bad Day LA? AM: I like the fact that this is a game about helping and caring. In a world where other video games are teaching our children how to rape prostitutes, make lampshades from human remains and shoot innocent water buffalos with RPGs, Bad Day LA serves up a "Love thy neighbor... and set on him fire with a Molotov cocktail if he's turned into a brain-eating zombie" type message that ...

PC Feature | Bad Day L.A.
Even if you've never heard of American McGee, you'll remember him now from the unusual name (His famous explanation: "My mom smoked pot. She was a hippie. I'm not sure how else to put that"). But it's more likely that you've played one of the games he's helped create: Doom II, Quake, American McGee's Alice, or Scrapland. His latest, Bad Day LA, puts players in the middle of Los Angeles on the worst day ever, with simultaneous disasters breaking out around the city. But instead of being a ...

PC - Batman Forever - Batman’s Best and Worst Games

As you may have heard, this summer’s most anticipated film - The Dark Knight - broods into theatres next week. Additionally, the caped crusader will be swinging into your console this fall with LEGO Batman. With that much attention given to the playboy magnate/crimefighter this year alone, we recognize there’s a whole lot of Batman love being spread about. To quench your thirst for the masked vigilante, we’re bringing you a ...

PC Feature | Battlefield 2142
With its vision of future Armageddon, Battlefield 2142 only ratchets the thumbscrews down even tighter for Battlefield junkies. Almost MMORPG in scope, the towering amount of ranks and deep catalogue of unlockable items for each class makes this Battlefield more addictive than ever. 2142 shrinks BF2's seven classes down to only four - so things seem a little more streamlined on the surface. However, within each class, there are two "career tracks" that diverge the roles even further. For ...

PC Feature | Battlefield 2142
So you've pounded the ground, tried out all the vehicles, crashed dozens of aircraft (likely brimming full of teammates) - but generally taken an eye for an eye on the frozen tundras of Battlefield 2142. Now you are ready to contribute to your body count - the easy way - by sneaking behind your foes and stabbing them in the back. You're the stealthy type - preferring shadowy corners and blind angles in which to ambush your prey. You realize that this is war - and any so-called fair fight is ...

PC Feature | Battlefield 2142
If you've spent some time behind the wheel (or under the heel) of Battlefield 2142's giant, terrifying fleet of vehicles, you may already realize that the pilots of these powerful behemoths can tip the balance of the battle single-handedly. Conversely, stopping an ace jockey in his tracks prematurely will most assuredly swing the tide of battle in your team's favor. If you agree that taking part in these kind of heroics sounds excellent (and who wouldn't?), then perfecting your role as an ...

PC Feature | Battlefield 2142
The future of war in Battlefield 2142 is a damn inhospitable place. Besides a new ice age and a world war, you've got a lot to do and a great deal of choices to make. From the second your boots hit the ground, you need to start contributing - or you're just adding to the body count of the other team. Worst of all - there is no basic training in 2142, and the learning curve is steep for fresh recruits. Even for salty online veterans, over 40 unlockable items and weapons mean that there are more ...

PC Feature | Beijing 2008

We were watching the Beijing Olympics at the weekend and got to nattering about how there's hardly any excitement around event-based sporting games anymore. Predictably the conversation took a rose-tinted turn towards the nostalgic and we all traded happy tales of masochistic joystick waggling and multi-load cassettes. No doubt other gamers with a memory for the shit old days will do the same. Here's five games that we reckon will fondle the memories of most old-schoolers at some point during the Olympics ...

PC Feature | Beyond Good and Evil
PC - Beyond Good and Evil - Beyond Good & Evil: A brief, spoiler-free tour

The biggest news of the recent Ubidays 2008 press event held last week in Paris turned out to be a teaser trailer for the sequel to 2003’s Beyond Good & Evil. It’s safe to say that no one saw this coming. The original game tanked at the cash register in competition with familiar names and faces released at about the same time including Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, so ...

PC Feature | BioShock
PC - BioShock - Further Reading

The links between novels and gaming are stronger than you think. Successful franchises spawn tie-in books dealing with the further adventures of Lara Croft or generic videogame action heroes, but often a respected author’s words can find themselves directly or indirectly rendered in gaming. Take Cormac McCarthy’s The Road for example, a post-apocalyptic journey through a near-future American wasteland that’s become required ...
