PS3 Feature | PlayStation 3
To tenuously coincide with this weekend's religious celebrations we've covered the self-proclaimed gaming saviors that were crucified by the critics and now we celebrate the resurrections - the games long thought dead and buried that were given a new lease life... Prince of Persia The kinetic adventures of Babylon's athletic blue blood first appeared in 1989 on Apple II and quickly leapt to a multitude of other platforms, including Sega Master System and NES. The original was a running and ...

Game graphics can be bad. But how many times have they been so bad you've looked for an option to turn them off? Never. That would be stupid. But sound, on the other hand, often has an 'off' option. It's like the developers have realized there's the teeniest, tiniest possibility their soundtrack may start to grate after extended play. Take this as a warning. You know the story - you're stuck in one area of a game, at first excited by the challenge of a puzzle or a jump you can't quite make. ...

You may be aware that tomorrow is Good Friday - the time of the year when Christians remember the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at Calvary. And how better to commemorate this holy day than with a feature about the games that arrived as saviors draped in expectation, only to be met by Old Testament-style wrath from the critics. Sure, it's tenuous, but since when has that ever got in the way of a good sermon? While the games we've picked might not have been cast into the most sinful depths of Game ...

It would be so easy for a developer to chuck in a simple bit of code as a let's-cram-a-few-extras-in afterthought with full price games and, let's face it, many have. But we know there are those out there who really do care about us gamers and want to reward us handsomely for completing the main game. And those caring developers certainly don't want us slamming down our pads in frustrated boredom over that one tedious minigame that's preventing us from moving on to the next level. If you get ...

PS3 Feature | Call of Duty 3
Working as a games journalist has its good points. There's the fame, the money, the endless barrage of adoring, screaming women who follow you whenever you walk down the street... oh, wait a minute, that's being a rock star. Um... ok, well at least there's still the free stuff we get sent 'most every day. The quality varies considerably, but there are some real gems of PR merchandising that would probably be worth loads of money on eBay. Of course, by contract we're not allowed to sell them, ...

PS3 - PlayStation 3 - Confessions of a Game Store Clerk - Part Three GamesRadar: Let's discuss a more specific kind of customer: the fanboy. Who are the most obnoxious? #5: I hate to stereotype, but Xbox fanboys are the worst. They've got this weird obsession with getting Linux on their consoles, but then never use Linux as their actual desktop at home; it's always Windows. I work in computers for a living now, so this kind of thing continually annoys me. #1: Along with the "my games look and sound better than yours" mentality, the Xbox / Xbox 360 fanboys also ...

PS3 - PlayStation 3 - Confessions of a Game Store Clerk - Part Two GamesRadar: Now let's talk about some of the personalities you interact with... starting with coworkers. What kind of conversations do you guys have? #1: Too many to count.... a few standouts are Star Trek vs. Star Wars, best-looking chicks in a videogame and who would win in a fight... "fictional character #1" or "fictional character #2"? #6: Yeah, Star Wars... whether or not Darth Maul was badass. Just to play devil's advocate, I had to throw Jar Jar into the mix. "Dude, Darth Maul's so ...

PS3 - PlayStation 3 - Confessions of a Game Store Clerk - Part One GamesRadar: Starting from the beginning... what made you want to work at a videogame store in the first place? Employee #1: Who wouldn't want to spend their days hanging out with friends, talking about videogames and getting paid to do it? Employee #2: I thought it would be fun. I thought I knew enough about games that I could be informative when customers had questions about them... Employee #3: I wasn't really looking for a job in gaming, but since I bought a lot of games, I figured it ...

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

7. The Typing of the Dead 2001 - Dreamcast, PC 1999's The House of the Dead 2 was one of the finest lightgun shooters ever conceived - fast, gory and filled with awesome-looking zombies and monsters to blow apart. We don't know who originally thought it would be a good idea to turn that into a semi-educational game where you type words and phrases to kill zombies, but whoever they are, they deserve a damn medal. The Typing of the Dead is number seven on this list for a reason. While the rest ...
