Captured in slow-motion: The awesome beauty of games

VIDEO: If you love games, you simply have to watch this

Words: Justin Towell, GamesRadar UK

Here at GamesRadar, we like to shake things up a bit every so often. While we love taking in-depth looks at important issues like cosplay babesteabagging and even gaming's most important farty butts, we can also go all cultured when it comes to the finer aspects of gaming.

So feast your eyes on this arty video, where we've slowed down some of our favourite games to a crawl thanks to the wonder of video editing. Coo as a car expires in a fountain of dancing sparks in Burnout Revenge, hold back the tears as Sora and Donald team up to free another heart from the cruel Heartless and weep at the majesty of F-Zero GX's speed-boost lightning.

It's OK, we won't tell.


The ethereal music is Out of Darkness (Prologue) from Devil May Cry 4. Buy the PS3 version and you get to hear it about six times over while the game installs. Wahey!

How the hell did you manage to come up with this Gamesradar? It's really weird.

Well... games move so fast, and our editing software can make it all really slow. What would you have done? :)

The Soul Calibur was neat...the Geometry Wars was cool to see the grid distort and slowly come back to form...The Shadow of Colossus was fitting and beautiful...Keep up the great work, maybe make a series of these...
