Best games of the decade
2000 was part of the 20th century, but not part of the 1900s. 2010 was part of the 201st decade, but not the '00s. You do not apply the same standards to decades as centuries because we refer to them differently. Our naming of centuries uses ordinal numbers, referring to the centuries relationship to the "beginning" of the calendar system, such as the 20th century for 1901-2000 or 1st century for 1-100. We do not refer to decades in this way (otherwise it would be the 202nd decade), but rather actually refer to them by the range of numbers in them (such as the nineties or the twenties). Since our terms for decades have no direct relationship to the year 1AD, we do not have to hold them to a technical standard that goes against common sense. Any way, Games Radar, get working on that Best Games of the 201st Decade list!

How to make a game longer without boring the pants off everyone
I was under the impression that most people didn't like the green star challenges in SMG2 because they felt like filler and were repetitive. I thought they were great and gave you a chance to really search the levels. and appreciate all there was to their design. Also, that @$%^ last star does take seven hours to get, but I had fun every minute of it. I also like the luigi mode in SMG, though, because it gave me an excuse to replay the game, which isn't that bad of a thing when the game is Super Mario Galaxy.

DanceDanceRevolution (PS3): DanceDanceRevolution review
I didn't realize this was out or coming out anytime soon. If they actually support the music store, this game will be exactly what I want. I use DDR for workouts, but when each individual version of the game has only about 25 tolerable songs, you find yourself playing the same mix of songs over and over.

Win Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on Blu-ray, a signed soundtrack, and more
Ninja Ninja Revolution, the game that Knives and Scott play in the arcade, is an obvious reference to the arcade game Dance Dance Revolution, both in name and the way you move your feet in sync with the arrows on screen.

1 year, 7 months ago Do Nintendo really need to bother making new characters?
Ouch, the headline hurts my head, regardless of whether it's grammatically correct. Why does the media insist on making collective nouns plural?

Anyway, I don't think new characters are necessary. Nintendo does a good job of creating new ideas, even if they combine them with old characters. If a familiar name is required to make innovation marketable, I'm fine with that.

Come on! You don't have to love FFVIII as a game to acknowledge that it has one of the best soundtracks of all time.

"Eight Disney-themed worlds later..." Four pages of story, but the charm of the game summed up in a only a few words.

I remember Gex getting a moderate amount of respect in his time. The games weren't too bad. The rest of these mascots are pure crap.

You know what else is amazing about all those commercials? They all had release dates. What a concept to let people know, if the game is not out already, when they can pick it up.
