Modern Warfare 2's glaring plot holes exposed! (Modern Warfare 2)

Nov 20, 2009

Buy the ticket, take the ride. Good advice, but after the credits roll what are we left with? Modern Warfare 2’s campaign is certainly a rollicking thrillcoaster, but the convoluted story has left many scratching their heads. ...

The 7 most beautifully animated 2D games (Earthworm Jim (1995))

Nov 20, 2009

There’s something very special about the process of old-fashioned, frame-by-frame, 2D animation. In the old days, the only way to get your animated character to wave his or her arm was to spend hours upon hours painstakingly crafting each frame and constantly readjusting your work to make sure everything flowed correctly. Now you just set a couple of keyframes and let a computer do it all for you. ...

The secret shops of Akihabara (PC)

Whether you’re looking for electronics, hardware, anime, games, or anything remotely geeky, you’ll find it in Akihabara, a bustling shopping district in Tokyo, Japan. Located just north of Tokyo Station, Akihabara is really three towns in one. It’s a haven for tech hobbyists, a paradise for anime fans and gamers, and a popular tourist destination. ...

Games that were hated before they were released (Diablo III)

Nov 19, 2009

Some games just never stand a chance, do they? Hated on from the moment they’re announced for a variety of reasons, they’re critically stoned by journos and gamers long before anyone lays finger on pad. The following titles all fall into this category of pre-release hatred. Whether they betrayed their series’ heritage, alienated PC gamers or their developer simply shouted his big fat mouth off too much; these games loved ...

Fanboys: 8 reasons why they deserve some respect (PC)

Nov 17, 2009

To be called a 'fanboy' is one of the worst insults in gaming. It suggests a misguided person characterised by an irrational devotion to a piece of software or soulless mega-corporation. A person incapable of intelligent thought. A person that is a despised twat.

But wait. Let's cut them some slack for a moment and think what purpose fanboys actually serve (beyond being a dumping ground for derision). We fancied a bit of a challenge, ...

SPOILERS! If you haven’t found a few hours to finish MW2’s campaign yet, you may want to go do that before ingesting the following words. It’s impressive that we were able to not only find seven, but actually choose the top seven most controversial and divisive aspects of Infinity Ward’s landmark shooter. They managed to bait everyone, from Fox News to PC gamers to the entire country of Russia. ...

Modern Warfare 2's coolest Easter eggs (Modern Warfare 2)

Nov 13, 2009

Modern Warfare 2 isn’t all apocalyptic deluge and end of world madness. Yes, the story hustles you from one extravagant set piece to the next on a gasoline-tinged blast of spectaculosity. But there are plenty of tiny details to discover if you hang back and poke around the nooks and corners instead of dashing from checkpoint to checkpoint. ...

The best FREE shooters (Battlefield Heroes)

Nov 12, 2009

This week, we’ve been extra busy covering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. GamesRadar’s own George Walter called it “this year’s must-buy first-person shooter” in his Super Review, and we expected nothing less from developer, Infinity Ward. ...

Modern Warfare 2 in 90 seconds (Modern Warfare 2)

Nov 12, 2009

Many see the campaign portion of a Call of Duty game as a warm up for multiplayer, a mere precursor to the wanton unleashing of molten buckets of whoop-ass onto the pathetically incompetent gaming public. In the event you’ve skipped the campaign entirely, or didn’t follow the story, or just have an insatiable thirst for spoilers, we’ve whittled Modern Warfare 2’s plot down to the essential 90 seconds. ...

Modern Warfare 2 launch report (Modern Warfare 2)

Nov 11, 2009

Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most praised games of the last several years (see our review, for example). It’s a massively massive release, and given that CoD 4 has been in our multiplayer rotation for the past two years, we can only expect that MW2 will be dominating PCs, PS3s, and 360s for the next two (or more). ...

Modern Warfare: The story so far (Modern Warfare 2)

Nov 10, 2009

Like most of you, we plowed through Call of Duty 4’s single-player campaign in a day and then spent the next couple of years blasting away at multiplayer. It’s not that the campaign was horrible, far from it. The first Modern Warfare employed innovative techniques that pushed the boundaries of interactive storytelling. ...

The Top 7… Tasteful game heroines (Portal)

Nov 9, 2009

Like comic books and movies, videogames tend to present an exaggerated representation of men and women. Dudes are typically muscle-bound meatheads with powerful jaw lines and a thorough understanding of all forms of combat, while women generally have back-breaking chests and dress like strippers regardless of their profession. ...

50 iPhone games you need to play (PC)

Nov 6, 2009

Is there anything better than a bag of popcorn, a cushy sofa on which to recline and an iPhone or iPod Touch loaded with games? Well yeah, there is, especially considering what popcorn fingers can do to a touchscreen. But when you’re on a bus on your way to work, being able to punch up a bloody gorefest like Alive 4-ever or kick it through the uprights in a football sim does help while away the commute time. ...
