The Top 7... series run into the ground

PS3 Feature | PlayStation 3

A game is made, and it turns out to be good. The game comes out, becomes popular... and then becomes a series. Usually, we have nothing bad to say about that. Until, inevitably, things start to slide. The creator that made the game what it was bails. Or it fizzles in the transition from one console to another. Maybe the staff just forgot what made it great. Whatever the problem, we've selected seven of the biggest offenders, for your ...

The Top 7... games that are cheaper than therapy

PS3 Feature | PlayStation 3

Let the haters and the old ladies complain about how those newfangled video computer games teach us to be killers; we've always taken the view that violent games are a pressure valve for blowing off steam in a harmless way. Don't believe it? Play something fierce and bloody the next time you're in a really bad mood, and then try telling us you didn't feel better afterward. But why stop there? If games can keep you from climbing a clock tower and expressing your inner pain in the form of ...

GamesRadar's Anti-awards 2006

PS3 Feature | PlayStation 3

Late last year we brought you the Platinum Chalice awards. It was a celebration about everything that made gaming too damn cool in 2006. But the sad consequence of having two system launches and more than five actively supported consoles and handhelds on top of that was... a glut. A glut of awesome games, to be sure, but also a glut of utter shit. So we sat down and thought about the year behind us, specifically everything that pissed us off. Things that we wish companies would give up on. The ...

GamesRadar's alternative 2007 hit list

PS3 Feature | PlayStation 3

Friday 12 January 2007 We're pretty sure that we don't really need to advise you to hunt out games like GTA IV, Halo 3 and Super Mario Galaxy in 2007 - we've got a sneaky feeling that you'll be smart enough to do that without our wise words of professional guidance. Right...? Instead of pointing you to the blindingly obvious for our forecast of the potentially great games that'll be keeping your digits in shape over the next 12 months, we thought it would be infinitely more useful if we ...

The Top 7... steps to becoming a videogame snob

PS3 Feature | PlayStation 3

It's cool to believe in something, to have an undying passion for your hobby. When it comes to gaming, we'll defend our views to the bitter end. But sometimes we all go a little too far, skating a fine line between fan and fanboy. How close are you? Read on... Step 1 - Swear that system X has no good games. At all. The self-proclaimed "hardcore" may read up on every game, discuss every game and spout what we try to pass off as authoritative opinions on every game... but none of us actually ...

The Top 7... games you've never played right

PS3 Feature | PlayStation 3

The Silent Hill series It's a safe bet that we all play games the same way: lights on, volume at a reasonable level, perhaps other stuff going on in the background as well. For most games, that's totally cool. But there are some that you have not even begun to experience. Yes, some games demand that you completely alter your surroundings and let the mood seep through your skull, soaking every cell in your body with excessive atmosphere. So, we mined our collective memories and came up with ...
