BioShock - Big Daddy's super pissed (GamesRadar Digital Shorts)

Aug 20, 2007

August 20, 2007 The denizens of underwater dystopia Rapture have always had it tough without having to worry about some downed pilot coming in to inject mysterious liquid in his wrists so he can shoot bees at their neighbors. The GamesRadar interns have seized upon this idea and crafted another marvelous short film, poking fun at what really goes on in BioShocks city of artists - not to mention what really gets the Big Daddy angry. The videos only about a minute long, so check it out. When ...

59 levels to play before you die: D - G (Genji: Days of the Blade)

Mar 21, 2008

A leisurely saunter through the UAC base lets you casually get attached to the game world, before the thick sense of impending disaster explodes in the most horribly visceral way imaginable. You’re suddenly alone in a dark and noisy world of fear and confusion. The people you met earlier are dead, dying, and torn to pieces. ...

2007's worst kept gaming secrets (Ghostbusters The Video Game)

Dec 18, 2007

18th Dec, 2007 There are some things that developers and publishers just don't want you to know. And given the unnaturally high number of game announcements, hardware revelations, industry shake-ups, and all round cool things going on this year, they've wanted you to not know a lot during 2007. Thankfully though, the internet exists, and thus nothing is sacred. That's the eternal irony of the games industry. It's a business which tries to shroud itself in secrecy, but whose patrons congregate ...

If game characters were old (God of War III)

Jun 20, 2008

What happened to Snake? With those layered and textured wisps of oh-so-touchable hair, that Rambo-ninja headband, and a perfectly landscaped maze of lovable facial scruff, MGS 2 Snake was downright dreamy. Several years and one blond douchebag later and Snake is back with crow’s feet and the beginnings of a Geraldo Rivera 'stache. If anything is suited for sneaking, it’s the varicose veins crawling up the skin stuffs stretched over his legs. ...

Does Godfather II really need its movie license? (The Godfather II)

Aug 15, 2008

When EA Games decided to adapt The Godfather into a game in 2006, it was a controversial decision, in no small part because The Godfather was never an action movie. It was violent, sure, but not in a way that translates to coherent gameplay. EA worked around the problem by creating a new, parallel storyline that put players in the shoes of a previously unknown Corleone soldier, who worked offscreen to bring about key events in the movie. And ...

The races will feature up to 16 cars on a single track. This should really rock. 2) ...

GTHD is dead - Long live GTHD Concept (Gran Turismo HD)

Feb 20, 2007

Sonys grand plans for a two-part GT HD, featuring downloadable, hi-def GT4 content on the one hand and an authentic GT5 taster on the other, has bitten the dust. What started as "Vision GT" - a quick ‘n dirty demo designed to show off the future - has, via GT HD, become GT HD Concept. Available only as a free 630Mb download from the PlayStation Store, its a small, but free, look at how GT looks in glorious high 1080p definition-o-vision. And its free. So you cant really complain. Or can ...

Gran Designs - Day Five: Gran Turismo HD (Gran Turismo HD)

Feb 16, 2007

Well, this was an unexpected surprise. Sony generously decided to hand out a completely free, ten-car and one track teaser demo of Gran Turismo HD to any PS3 owners who wants it. Granted, this isn't GT 5 - it's just an enhanced version of GT 4 - but we'll take it. Your prize for waiting for 650MB to download is a clearly beautiful race game that, and were not exaggerating, looks streets ahead of anything else available. The cars are fantastic models and they look incredibly sharp. There are no ...

Gran Designs (Gran Turismo HD)

Feb 15, 2007

Theres never a backlash when it comes to Gran Turismo - the public loves the series so much, it can get away with practically anything. Poor old Gran Turismo 4 was delayed a million times and wasnt quite as online as Sony said it would be, but still we adored it and bought it without any fuss. Gran Turismo 3 shouldve been a PS2 launch game, but arrived two years later, but we didnt care then either. And it looks like well be waiting until 2008 for the PlayStation 3 version of Gran Turismo 5, ...

Gran Designs - Day four: Gran Turismo 4 (Gran Turismo HD)

Feb 15, 2007

The fourth title in the series was a labor of love. Twenty programmers, 40 artists and another 20 or so pen-pushers all came together under the guidance of Mr. Yamauchi to create Gran Turismo 4. It was delayed to hell - but we didnt really care. It had its online options removed, but we didnt really care either. The game mechanics were the same, and perhaps too similar to previous games. Common complaints like lack of car damage, no damn Ferraris, and the robotic enemy drivers werent ...

Gran Designs - Day three: Gran Turismo 3 (Gran Turismo HD)

Feb 14, 2007

Gran Turismo 3 was the first game most of us on saw running on PlayStation 2, thanks to the “GT 2000” demo that appeared alongside PS2 when it launched in Japan in March 2000. A little more than a year later wed get the final version of GT3, and boy did it ever show off PS2 to the maximum. Even now, loading up the six-year-old PS2 game is a staggering event. Religious, even. It still has the power to shame the puny efforts being put out by other game-makers today, thanks to its ...

Gran Designs - Day two: Gran Turismo 2 (Gran Turismo HD)

Feb 13, 2007

There were still no Porsches or Ferraris, but what the hell. Gran Turismo 2 came out in December of 1999, just when the world was starting to get excited about PlayStation 2. That didnt matter though - GT2 was a staggering creation that squeezed more out of PSone than had ever seemed possible before. The feel and system was pretty much unchanged from GT1, apart from two enhancements - the number of cars went from under 200 to well over 600, and the tracks were boosted from the mid teens to ...

Gran Designs - Day one: Gran Turismo (Gran Turismo HD)

Feb 12, 2007

GT STATS Released: May 1998 Cars: 178 Tracks: 15 tracks Music: Ash, Feeder, Garbage Average eBay price: $5.10 So, thinking about it, if you want to thank anyone for starting the whole Gran Turismo ball rolling, thank series creator Kazunori Yamauchis dad. Yamauchi senior did a lot of driving for his work, and luckily enough happened to do all his driving in a fancy Nissan Skyline. Lucky daddy. Often, little three-year-old Kazunori would go with him, spending hours in the car. Probably ...

5 Cool Things You Missed in GTA IV (Grand Theft Auto IV)

Aug 15, 2008

Grand Theft Auto IV is too big, too deep, too overwhelming. You could finish the storyline completely and still pass by some of the game's very best moments. We're not talking about pigeons, stunt jumps, glitches or Easter eggs either. We're talking about entire characters, whole missions, secret sex scenes and phonebooks worth of must-see trivia. ...

GTA IV Ghostriding glitch (Grand Theft Auto IV)

Jul 28, 2008

We were goofing around in GTA IV multiplayer the other day, trying to play “grenade baseball,” when we discovered that the shopping carts in my world were not visible in my friend’s world. Naturally, this begged further investigation. The conclusion? You can get into a shopping cart and have your friend push you down a hill. ...
