The Top 7… Tasteful game heroines

PC Feature | Portal

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. ... » Read More

Same name, completely different game

PC Feature | Portal

We absolutely know that you've been waiting with eager anticipation for a feature to come along that catalogues examples of new games that share an identical name with an old game. It doesn't happen very often, so it's genuinely exciting when it does. Anyway, we've written that feature, and this is it. Direct all messages of thanks and amazement to the comments thread. K? Cheers.Afrika | PS3 | 2009 The new Afrika: Is ... » Read More

Five rules for introducing your girlfriend to...

PC Feature | Portal

I’m not a miserable sexist ass; I’m just a practical observer. One thing I’ve observed is that men and women are different (I figured that one out pretty early on). Since I’m a rational person, I’m aware that nothing is entirely one way or another. Even the divide between life and death is ambiguous (uh, zombies, amirite?). ... » Read More

Guys vs Games: Which is better?

PC Feature | Portal

This past summer, your favorite chauvinists at GR wondered loudly if games were better than women. After a thoroughly scientific test, we decided that games were in fact a smidge more favorable than the fairer sex, but just slightly. As we sat atop our thrones, proud of our journalistic integrity, a lone voice from a small blog grabbed our attention. Jessica V. of PinkNINJA wanted to refute our claims. ... » Read More

Games take over corporate logos: reader edition

PC Feature | Portal

Last week we brought you ten photoshopped images of game names infiltrating popular logos. It was a huge success, and most of you cried out for more. Well, one reader provided us with enough great ideas to create another entry in this ongoing article.Have an idea? Post it in our thread and maybe you’ll see your ideas brought to life on the site. Special thanks to reader Ravenbom for the standout submissions. See, we do read ... » Read More

Tired of list articles yet?

PC Feature | Portal

GamesRadar is no stranger to the list article. Hell, we've posted at least one every week for nearly two years. They're fun to write, easy to read and get the job done in a fraction of the time it'd take you to barf all that information out in non-list form.But some topics demand a more in-depth touch, and the idea-nauts at GR are more than capable of delivering wordy, researched material for those with enough time to digest it. ... » Read More

The coolest, funniest gaming images on the web

PC Feature | Portal

If evidence were ever needed of how culturally important games are these days, it's in the world of art. Between painters, photographers, comic writers and sculptors, the internet is packed to bursting with artists paying tribute to gaming and putting their own spin on our favourite iconography. Here's some of the best stuff we've found. ... » Read More

Gamers rock out!

PC Feature | Portal

When aspiring musicians and the internetz collide, it often results in some of the most unholy power combos the universe has ever seen. We’d even go as far to say that most of these mighty Gods of Rock surpass real-world supergroups like Velvet Revolver and Damn Yankees. YouTube alone holds a treasure trove of musical gems, and these are some of our very most favoritest. And yes, we're including the hand farter. ... » Read More

The game credit sequences you'll actually enjoy

PC Feature | Portal

15th Jan, 2007 The end credits of a game are usually by far the worst part. We're not talking about the game's ending here. Those can be spectacular. No, what we mean is the actual credits themselves. Not only are they the visual death toll of another game over, but all they offer you in consolation is the boring visage of a lot of names scrolling up the screen. And these days it's a lot of names. Back in the 8-bit home computer days we usually got away with one guy's signature on a title ... » Read More

Portal is the most subversive game ever

PC Feature | Portal

Dec 7, 2007 [Warning: The text you are about to read contains heady intellectual discourse and is not recommended for anyone made queasy by the discussion of feminist film theory or psychoanalytical signifiers.] Since its release two months ago, Portal has met with overwhelming popular and critical success thanks to its quirky physics and dystopian humor. Yet beneath the mainstream success lies the most subversive first-person shooter (FPS) ever created. Portal is essentially a feminist ... » Read More

The ports that had no right to work

PC Feature | Portal

7th Dec, 2007 You know what its like. Youve just created a brand new videogame and you want to show it to the world. Youre proud of your creation. Its taken you months, if not years, to make and you want as many people as possible to share in your joy at its release. Itd also be nice to make a bit of extra money out of it. So you start porting it to different ... » Read More

The cake is a lie

PC Feature | Portal

Oct 15, 2007 Weve all become rather enamored by Portal, which has been untangling the folds of our frontal lobes since its release last week with Valves Orange Box. While it may appear simple at first glance, Portal is jammed full of subtleties, Easter eggs, and easily repeatable tag lines that have been rapidly absorbed by the Internets collective cultural consciousness. If youve been on the wrong side of the space-time continuum for the last week and have no clue what were talking about, ... » Read More

"Why Portal is perfect"

PC Feature | Portal

Oct 12, 2007 Ben Richardson is Content Editor for GamesRadar UK. The Orange Box is Valve's finest hour. Five triple-A games, one package, muchos satisfaction guaranteed. But it's a special bundle for more than simply its value for money, because The Orange Box contains the world's first ever perfect game: Portal. If you've read the discussion GamesRadar had with several mag editors, you'll know how most journalists feel about 'perfect' games and 'perfect' scores. Short version - such a thing ... » Read More

Valve's industrial revolution

PC Feature | Portal

Back in 1996, two Microsoft executives quit their spectacularly high-paid jobs, formed a games company and made the best game ever. Twice. They didnt like the way retailers were throttling the industrys creativity, so they cut them out. They did what a lot of mod teams were doing, they hired them. They published any game they liked through their digital distribution network, however commercially risky, and saved several independent developers in the process. Their revolution was so successful ... » Read More
