Nine gems of gaming merchandise (Call of Duty 3)

Apr 4, 2007

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, ...

Never lose at COD4 Free for All again! (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Jul 22, 2008

Campers lose. Campers are losers. Campers should be shot. Snipers are babies. Snipers aren’t good enough to mix it up with the big boys. Snipers should be shot. Running and gunning – sprinting around, living by your wits, relying on your reactions and turning, moving, gliding, weaving and doubling back - is the way a gentleman wins. ...

Call of Duty 4: DownloadRadar (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Apr 14, 2008

A lot of excellent shooters from last year sit in our game libraries and hard drives waiting to be played again. But lately, we find ourselves coming back to Call of Duty 4 and we know we’re not the only ones. Finding active servers with settings you like is rarely a problem. But an added bonus to Call of Duty 4’s popularity is the wealth of awesomely original fan-made mods and maps.

Five in-game deaths that actually made us sad (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Apr 4, 2008

More and more games seem to be plucking our heart strings to great affect and eliciting a genuine sense of woe amongst players. Here we look at five recent videogame deaths that have made us appropriately gloomy for all the right reasons and ponder how they succeeded in stoking the cold blue flames of our sadness. ...

Call of Duty 4 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Jan 24, 2008

We know the temptation all too well. Youre trotting through a Call of Duty 4 multiplayer map, you see a bit of cover, and think, “I bet I could get behind that and punk the next fool who runs through here.” But before you commit to that hidey-hole, think twice - you can likely be flanked, grenaded, or otherwise humiliated in what should have been your moment of glory. To avoid this fate, check out our whimsical video on Call of Duty 4s best and worst camping spots. ...

How to save Call of Duty 5 from crapness (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Jan 15, 2008

January 15, 2008 Rumour has it that the next game in the awesome Call of Duty series will be taking a step backwards, returning to the over-used World War II setting after its glorious foray into contemporary conflict with the 10/10-rated Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It seems an illogical step, but when you consider that CoD3's developer Treyarch is back in the saddle as opposed to Infinity Ward, and that a Pacific location has been hinted at, it all starts to sound more and more ...

Will the Activision/Vivendi merger ruin my games? (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Dec 3, 2007

3rd Dec, 2007 The industry is still shaking from the earthquake announcement of Vivendi and Activision's merger today, but gamers themselves are going to have a lot of questions too. Both companies hold their fair share of much-loved franchises, several of which have extremely radid fanbases, so worry is going to be high as to what the deal is really going to mean. It seems accepted human 'wisdom' that any change is a change for the worse, and in gaming any alteration in the corporate status ...

Call of Duty 4 multiplayer sniper spots exposed (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Nov 27, 2007

Nov 27, 2007 Weve been playing Call of Duty 4s multiplayer mode long enough to know every map inside out. But even this encyclopaedic knowledge doesnt stop us from getting hit between the eyes when were least expecting it. And its not because were running around like headless chickens, but rather that some gamers have found ways to get to hidden locations in certain maps. Having discovered the location of five of these sniper spots, by trawling YouTube, we thought it was only fair to share ...

Five reasons why COD4 will make you soil yourself (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Nov 9, 2007

Nov 9, 2007 Modern Warfare has broken out! Huzzah! No, we're not consequence-dismissing warmongers, just excited gamers looking for a (decidedly non-lethal) way to vicariously live out our our battlefield fantasies. Because Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is on sale, and it's amazing. But wait, recruit, because - as you might have seen - this latest Call of Duty conflict is so intense it'll make flower-gathering, Pinata-breeding gentle gamers soil themselves in utter shell-shocked terror. ...

Call of Duty 4: Cheats Unlocked (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Nov 7, 2007

Halo has skulls. Gears has cogs. Grand Theft Auto has packages. But this year's most rewarding collectible hunt isn't in any of those games... it's in Call of Duty 4. Scattered throughout the shooter are 30 hidden laptops, capable of unlocking some of the most useful - and bizarre - cheats we've ever encountered. Ranging from infinite ammo to super powered grenades to a "silent 1920s movie" filter (seriously!) these things can transform the game until it's nearly unrecognizable. Want to see ...

Call of Duty 4 - Master the Multiplayer (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Nov 6, 2007

Nov 6, 2007 One shot. Two if you're lucky. In Call of Duty 4's brutally realistic take on multiplayer, that's all your enemies need to drop your sorry corpse to the ground. Unlike the cartoony competition, you can't throw down a bubble shield or zip away on a shiny alien moped. So how do you secure the advantage when all you have are your guns and your wits? Location, location, location. Being in the right place at the right time - in other words, being the one to shoot that first lethal ...

Call of Duty 4 - interview (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Jun 18, 2007

During our first look at Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare we got chance to sit down with the developer's president Grant Collier. In the middle of a lengthy global press tour, Collier looked absolutely exhausted, but it's amazing what some caffeine can do. You can read our impressions of Call of Duty 4 right here, and below is the result of our chat with Grant Collier. Are you missing World War II? Grant Collier: I'm so sad that I can't work on World War II anymore; it just ...

TalkRadar 22 – quiz show! (Call Of Duty: World at War)

Oct 10, 2008

You might want to sit down for this, and if you happen to already be sitting, stand up so you can sit back down and experience our one-on-one talkin’ to with Cliffy B, the man behind all things Gears of War. Then we’re out to guess a series of iconic video game sound effects – those that stump the T-Dar crew are your chance to hop in the forum and win a GR t-shirt. ...

TalkRadar 21 – riddles, rudeness and reviews (Call Of Duty: World at War)

Oct 3, 2008

This is officially the longest TalkRadar to date – but what a value! You’ll hear us attempt to solve the worst puzzles in history (most are from PC adventure games), talk up gaming flatulence, even trade horror stories involving bodily functions and a certain bathroom apparatus.

If you’re not one for potty humor, you should listen anyway because there’s lots of talk about the next Call of Duty (World at War), Spider-Man (Web of Shadows) and Bond shooter (the very GoldenEye-esque Quantum of Solace). ...

Box Art F'ups (Cars Mater-National )

Feb 8, 2008

Derp! Ready the eBay accounts, cause that company that prints game box art - Acme Video Game Box Art Co. Inc. Ltd., we believe they’re called - pulled a gargantuan boner and misprinted a shitload of our favorite titles. We don’t mean to call them out, but we can’t allow the public to be misled. ...

Clive Barker's Jericho (Clive Barker's Jericho)

Mar 14, 2007

Are you sitting down? Good. Oh, and its best that youre not eating anything prior, during and directly after reading our coverage of Clive Barkers Jericho, a squad-based shooter that is as creepy and disgusting as it is intriguing. Mr. Barker has already made waves with his fantastical and horrific writings and surely if youve played his previous game, Undying, then you know that the man can offer up quite a virtual scare. That all said, check out our in-depth preview of Jericho and our ...

Prince of Darkness (Clive Barker's Jericho)

Mar 14, 2007

Sadomasochistic cenobites, cannibalism, hooks in flesh, skin-stealing…“Weve got sights to show you,” grinned Pinhead in seminal horror flick Hellraiser - and didnt he just? However, Clive Barker himself has shown us so much more - in his books, his films, his soft toy range and in his games. Well, in Clive Barkers Undying anyway - the others havent been very good. But now hes back with Clive Barkers Jericho, a project hes steering all the way from conception - rather than ...

The ladies of Conan - Exposed! (Conan)

Oct 31, 2007

Oct 31, 2007 Ho, pasty-faced wanderers of the highways of information! I am named Conan, a Cimmerian of some renown - I am given to understand that one of your more leathery statesmen grew famous portraying me in moving pictures, and that a game has been made from one of the more obscure episodes in my no-ways uneventful ...

Conan Goresplosion! Part 4 (Conan)

Sep 19, 2007

Sept 19, 2007 Over the past few weeks, we've shown you all kinds of bloody horror that Conan the Barbarian can unleash on pirates, bandits and assorted ancient-world thugs in his self-titled slash 'em-up, due to hit stores this October. You've seen what he's capable of when he's wielding a small, ordinary sword, a pair of swords and a really, really big sword. But the true measure of a rampaging badass isn't what he can do when he's holding a sharp chunk of metal. It's whether or not he can ...

Conan Goresplosion! Part 3 (Conan)

Sep 12, 2007

Sept 12, 2007 Can Conan the Barbarian still resonate with today's gamers? The minds over at publisher THQ certainly seem to think so, as they're rolling out the 75-year-old license this October in the simply-named Conan - a barrel-chested, hyper-manly slash 'em-up that completely ignores the silly Schwarzenegger movies and rips its inspiration, bleeding and raw, from the original novels by Robert E. Howard. Voiced by Ron Perlman and scripted by Susan O'Connor (who also wrote the script for ...
