5 days, 15 hours ago What's your favourite type of game box? Because Vita boxes are now my new favourite type of game box
But what about the presentation of it? When I first opened the Sega Rally box and saw the manual on the left, all shiny and mint, and the gleaming disc on the right... I was really impressed. Mind you, I'm talking about the UK cases, which are different from the US ones. I don't really like the US ones - they look like they would break at the slightest touch...

Anyway, my favourite is probably... Japanese Gamecube boxes. Tiny, colourful, beautiful.

I did wonder... thought maybe Henry had been tweeting about the story! No worries, I'm happy to put said image of a giant crab, spear and thunderbolt killcam into your mind. And I'm sure Henry would be too :)

I would personally pay to be able to fly across Skyrim on a dragon. But how much? Say... £1.99?
1 week, 1 day ago 9 games you probably played and didn't even know were censored
The wackiness wasn't for me, personally. At least, not all of it. The bomb you can use is not quite the one the developers wanted to put in. I'm guessing the player choice over what you can wear (or not wear) pushed that from gross to weird. And apparently it isn't the only thing they left out. It's hard to imagine what they thought was 'too far' :)
1 week, 5 days ago A brief history of the most over-used special effect in video games: Lens flare
Ooh, now that's testing my knowledge. Without getting my Saturn and copy out (I'm too cosy in my Saturday morning lie-in for that!) I don't think it worked with the analogue pad. But it wasn't so much the controls as the frame rate and ugliness that ruined the Saturn version's lightgun fun. But man, I'd forgotten about the blood on the windscreen - that was a game that didn't pull any punches! I sense an Appreciation Section coming on... ;)
1 week, 6 days ago A brief history of the most over-used special effect in video games: Lens flare
Ah, good spot! Those 'crepuscular rays' are exactly what got me thinking about this feature in the first place. Infinity Blade II has them in almost every screen and it's just too much. Although I confess I was unfamiliar with the term, so thank you for introducing me to my new favourite word :)

Great game, too. I particularly enjoyed the driving, but the tower block shooter was decent. On Saturn, the lightgun bit was near unplayable, so I didn't play that. Yippeekiyay?

Ha! Brilliant :) I was just about to scroll upwards and look for the typo...

Told you so, mate. And completely agree on the rubber banding :)
2 weeks, 3 days ago Why winning at FIFA 12 disgusted me so much I'll never play it again
Yeah, that's a nasty tactic - I met someone on FIFA who did that before any kind of set-piece. They'll probably look back on their life at the age of 80 and realise they spent days of it needlessly being a bastard.
3 weeks ago If video game power-ups were advertised
Thanks :P The Zelda one was actually the first one that came to my mind as the inspiration for the feature. One WEIRD old trick... pick up an ancient sword! Wonder if that's the same for the regular adverts...

Haha - no, I like it :)
"For everything else, there's Masterballs"
Brilliant :)

Just that the game music is on the CD, exclusively. You know, forgetting it's also in the game.

I know they're owned by the same company, but I think this is just for GAME stores. Sorry if I didn't make that clear first time round.

TalkRadar UK will never come back to iTunes because it's dead. You'll be wanting the GamesRadar UK Podcast, which is four episodes old and stars the same cast. And a Gaming Monkey. And my personal favourite, the random game name game. Search and you will find :)

The intro video is gameplay footage from the 360/PC version, which just goes to show the quality of gameplay that Codemasters managed for the 'big' version.
