Whom should a gamer fear? Aliens? We clip 'em with a headshot from 200 yards. Mushrooms? We'll stomp 'em flat. Guys with fast cars? Magical summoned demons? Zombie Nazis driving dinosaur mechs? Please. But in the real world, it's another story. People here can mess us up. He's an absolute nutjob, but anti-gaming crusader and "Seriously? This guy hasn't been disbarred yet?" lawyer Jack Thompson would like nothing better than to see every game, publisher, developer, and even player cast into a ...

In the chaotic and lawless world of online gaming, pretty much anything goes. After all, few places offer as much freedom to say or do what you like as a randomly chosen multiplayer match. Yet one act remains so despised and so taboo that, to gamers, it might as well be the equivalent of cheating on your spouse or betraying your country. It's called the team kill. Shooting friend instead of foe. Griefing. And it may be one of the most misunderstood behaviors in all of gaming. Why? Because ...

Las Vegas - a city synonymous with Hollywood glamor, Elvis, casinos, the Rat Pack and endless sketchy escort/contact magazines promoted by unfortunate illegal immigrants.

Ubisoft Montreals game designer Steven Masters huddles in Canadas -14-degree big-freeze to give us a warm insight into the making of ...

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...

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. ...

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 ...

PSP - PSP - 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 ...

PSP - PSP - 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 ...
