Watch the Indiana Jones trilogy in three minutes (LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures)

5/06/2008

We’ve already seen the first three Star Wars films moulded into our favourite Danish building blocks. But now it’s time to move away from intergalactic wars - there are arks to be raided, and grails to be discovered. Enter Indiana Jones.

So it may not be quite as polished as its force welding counterpart, and yes The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skulls was a disappointment, but watching Indy’s first three adventures flash before you in brilliant Lego-vision will convince you that there’s life in the old dog yet. ...

12 Essential LEGO Indy scenes (LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures)

7/08/2007

You wouldn't believe the smiles spreading around here when LucasArts announced plans for an Indiana Jones LEGO game. It's the one series of movies (after Star Wars) that we've been itching to see brought to the world of plastic bricks. We know the game will cover all three existing Indiana Jones movies, but to date we've only been given a sneak glimpse of scenes from the films that will make the transition to the LEGO world. So, putting on our dirty brown fedora and pretending we're hot shit ...

The history of PS2 Star Wars games (LEGO Star Wars)

6/03/2007

The history of PS2 Star Wars games is a turbulent one. Let GamesRadar be your tracking computer in this trench of occasional gaming excrement, guiding you through the good titles and the bad ones. First, the good: Star Wars: Battlefront (2004) - PS2 Combining fast-paced, large-scale combat with a thin slither of strategy, Battlefront was the game that single-handedly proved that Star Wars videogames didnt have to suck. Admittedly, it worked better as an online multiplayer game - or at least, ...

Lego Star Wars (LEGO Star Wars)

6/09/2004

To begin, a line of Lego trivia. The word Lego comes from the Danish 'Leg Godt', meaning to play well. That is the Lego philosophy - playing well - and that confident quality oozes from almost everything the Danish manufacturer has branded since its inception. To continue, a cheap shot. Lego videogames have not (traditionally) played well. Star Wars games, too, have forged an unenviable reputation recently, apart from a certain RPG. So, from an Edge reader's point of view at least, Lego Star ...

LEGO Star Wars II - Best Characters (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

17/05/2007

You can fly through LEGO Star Wars II without even noticing most of the characters. But for the completists among you all, here's our guide to the rarest characters you can find in that galaxy, far, far ...

GamesRadar's potentially annual Platinum Chalice awards 2006 (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

22/12/2006

It's the end of another great year for gamers. Two new systems launched. Two handhelds waged bloody battle. And next gen gaming got a big kick in the pants - thanks to a year of lonely rule by the Xbox 360. PC gaming fought fire with nukes, waging its battle against the console-based onslaught. In short, it ruled. How do we handle this? We're handing out our gleaming Platinum Chalice to those games and systems which gave us the business. No boring list of 37 different strategy games, divided ...

A Year of Hotness (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

28/02/2006

With Xbox 360 out (if you can find one) and PlayStation 3 just around the corner, you might think the only place left for your old PS2 is in a box in the attic. But hold that thought, and cast your eye over our deluxe selection of upcoming titles: this generation isn't shuffling off quietly. Valkryie Profile: Silmeria The original Valkryie Profile, for PSone, slipped under the radar of all but a few dedicated RPG fans. Shame, because it was one of the most exciting games to hit the genre, with ...

What if Niko Bellic was in Mario Kart? (Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude)

16/09/2009

So what would happen if amoral Balkan sociopath Niko Bellic was in everyone's favourite cute and cuddly cartoon racer? Would Mario and chums accept him into the line-up with grace and humility? Would Niko keep the lid on all his murderous rage when Yoshi was firing red shells up his tailpipe? Of course, not. This is what would happen if the worlds of Liberty City and the Mushroom Kingdom clashed...

And that got us thinking. What ...

The 13 unluckiest videogame bastards (Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude)

13/02/2009

As you’re probably aware, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. To hell with that. Friday the 13th is today, and aside from developmentally disabled serial killers with machetes, that means one thing: bad luck.

Over the years, continually playing as the hero in videogames has taught us to have a generally optimistic outlook when faced with challenges, to believe deep down that, whatever happens, we can overcome any obstacle. ...

The Top 7... Girl-on-girl kisses (Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude)

28/11/2006

What's hotter than watching a cute princess kiss a fat, middle-aged plumber? Well, anything really, but given the headline above, the answer should be obvious: watching a cute princess kiss another cute princess. It's sexy, it's vaguely taboo and it's pleasantly devoid of bristling mustaches and lingering sewage odors. It's much more common to see girl-on-girl kisses in other media, but it happens in games more often than you'd think. To prove it to you, we've collected the very best ones and ...

Busted Cheats: Week 1 (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King)

29/05/2008

Here at CheatPlanet we're always trying to sort through the cheat submissions to find the tiny nuggets of helpful information hidden among the hundreds of moronic submissions we receive each day. It's a thankless job, one that we keep working on only because of our love of cheats and the happiness we feel when looking into a child's smiling face after he or she unlocks the second set of weapons in GTA IV (Call GUN-555-0100) and ...

59 levels to play before you die: G - L (Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)

21/03/2008

Legions of exasperated gamers whined that Kratos' escape from the bowels of Hell - complete with rotating columns of bladey cartilage, platforms of bone and two huge towers of spinning blades - was 'stupid', 'cheap' or 'toohardIwantmymummy!' but we loved it. ...

We predict Lost (Lost: Via Domus)

23/02/2007

Theres going to be a game of Lost. You know it. We know it. Quite what that game will involve, though, is a mystery of far more, well, Lost proportions. A chronic lack of any real information may have hampered things up until now, but this year coders Ubisoft and Lost money-men, channel ABC, are going to be a lot more forthcoming on the info front, you mark our ...

2007 Heaven - PS2 (Lost: Via Domus)

31/01/2007

Okay, so you're still saving your pennies in the hope that someday you'll be able to get a shiny, new PlayStation 3. Don't feel like there's nothing at all to play on your PS2. It may not be the new hotness, but it's got plenty to keep you from going into the irradiated wasteland some call "outside". Tomb Raider Anniversary - Crystal Dynamics - PS2 - ETA: June 2007 Why is a remake of a ten-year-old game so important? Because Laras original adventure is one of PlayStations all-time greats, and ...

PS2 2K7 (Lumines Plus)

16/02/2007

Look around. You'd almost think companies were never going to release a PS2 game ever again. We're constantly being bombarded with images of the latest and greatest upcoming titles for the PS3, 360 and the Wii. One thing that's easy to forget in all the next-gen hype, though, is that there are over 100 million PS2s out there in the world. With those kinds of numbers, publishers would be crazy to quit cold turkey. As a matter of fact, there are still lots of PS2 titles coming - they're just not ...
