St. Paddy's Day disgraces: Six of gaming's most...

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Well it’s St. Paddy’s day, and as usual that means everyone will be celebrating their ambiguous Irish "heritage" by getting bollocksed on beer and green food dye, saying “Erin Go Bragh” for no reason, and wearing plastic green bowler hats. To celebrate this light-hearted, semi-racist holiday we’ve assembled a list of gaming’s most offensively stereotypical Irishmen and identified which of the many ... » Read More

How to spot a secretly evil game character

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Normally, we’ve got no problem with video game villians. Sure, they nick our bustiest wenches, salute digital democracy with a middle finger, and are inconsiderate enough to make us waste valuable bullets shooting them during a recession. Thing is, they’re always upfront about being assholes, which makes the shit they pull almost endearingly evil. What really gets on our teets, though, are those deceitful dastards who pretend to ... » Read More

5 reasons why going to the shops in games doesn't...

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Real-life shopping. Unless you enjoy shambling about like an extra in a Romero flick, it's a mostly soul-destroying activity that ranks somewhere between 'watching The X Factor' and 'tasting vomit' on our list of Things We'd Rather Not Do If We Can Help It. So it's testament to the subversive qualities of games that they can make shopping not suck. How do games do it - what makes shopping in games so much more enjoyable than shopping in ... » Read More

14 games that borrowed their best bits from movies

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Everyone knows about Max Payne taking all its best ideas (alright, one good idea) from the Matrix. But there have been many more games over the years that have taken their inspiration from Tinsel Town’s finest cinematic output. And when we say inspiration, we actually mean they broke out the tracing paper and copied these films' best scenes or stars almost exactly. And you know what? We’re thankful, because the nearly all of the ... » Read More

The 12 most annoying sidekicks EVER

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

The buddy format: maybe it’s two mismatched cops, butting heads as they crack a tough case. Maybe it’s a feisty animal and his wiseass, backpack-dwelling chum, venturing out of a grass-green hub-world. Wherever it crops up, the formula of “two stalwart friends off on a whirlwind adventure” is the basis for good times. But for every half-dozen Samwises and Chewbaccas, you’re bound to get a Dan Quayle or two. ... » Read More

This is fan art

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

The characters and environments of the gaming world are so colourful and exciting, it’s little wonder they inspire many of us to pick up our crayons and coloured pencils and have a go at recreating them – or even reimagining them – ourselves. The numbers of drawings we've seen of your favourite characters just goes to show how popular it’s become to take the game art world into your own hands. ... » Read More

Predictions for gaming's biggest sequels

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Anticipation is supposedly sweet, but you know what? Instant gratification is a hell of a lot sweeter. Sure, we could sit patiently and wait for official announcements on our favorite franchises. We could avoid assumption, steer clear of speculation and only publish our opinion when it’s unequivocally backed by cold, hard press release fact. That wouldn’t be nearly as much fun, though. ... » Read More

Mature games remade for the Wii family

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

The Wii is the home of clueless casual gamers, housewives and grannies: fact. Ok, so that’s not entirely true, but there’s no doubt the aforementioned groups have helped propel the little white box into the sales stratosphere. But while they’re undoubtedly the backbone of Nintendo’s current business model, there’s only so long they can last on Wii Sports and Wii Fit. That’s why we’ve taken some of ... » Read More

Game censorship around the world

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Games are banned in two primary ways. The first is by corporate policy. When a company refuses to sell or distribute an unrated game, it is effectively censoring the game, but they can’t be entirely lampooned for attempting to maintain a positive image. Nintendo has every right to prevent “Sextrobes: Pornigins” from being released on the Wii ... » Read More

A brief history of cheats

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Game cheats have spawned an entire industry of their own. It began in the back pages of magazines, then in full cheat books, and finally settled on the internet, where sharing cheats is as established as sharing ultra-niche Bolivian porn. Just ask our tireless CheatPlanet editor, Paul Ryan, and he’ll probably tell you, “Yeah, cheats. People like those.” ... » Read More

Dumb things your folks say about games

PS3 Feature | Grand Theft Auto IV

Mums are genetically programmed to stop you doing the things you like. As you get older, perhaps you start to understand their reasoning - even perhaps admitting they're right. But not when it comes to videogames. We're sure you've heard these utterances more times that you can remember. So have a listen next time you're playing and see how many you can hear.
