We’ve already seen the first three Star Wars films moulded into our favourite Danish building blocks. But now it’s time to move away from intergalactic wars - there are arks to be raided, and grails to be discovered. Enter Indiana Jones.
So it may not be quite as polished as its force welding counterpart, and yes The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skulls was a disappointment, but watching Indy’s first three adventures flash before you in brilliant Lego-vision will convince you that there’s life in the old dog yet. ...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is hitting stores on September 16th and that’s all cool and lovely. But, as you prepare to get your Sith on, why not pause for a moment and consider this for a curve ball…The Force is overrated: FACT!
But it’s an energy field, you say, created by all living things. It surrounds and penetrates living beings. It binds the whole galaxy together for god’s sake. Well, that’s as ...

Even two console generations ago we stopped batting our eyelids if games contained other, smaller games within them. It didn’t even seem odd if whole games were made up of dozens of little ones. Nowadays we use minigame mechanisms to open doors, enact fancy stealth kills, slaughter bosses or open chests. Minigames are everywhere, be it shoving boulders in Conan, coercing peasants in Oblivion or doing anything at all in Thrillville or ...
» Read MoreThe bright colors and delirious sounds of cutesy games often gloss over ultraviolent gameplay. The sadistic deaths visited upon characters in these kiddie games are always hidden behind candy and rainbows. But violence without gore is like a cheeseburger without cheese. Sanitizing violence to make it “kid-friendly” hurts society more than it helps, and teaches unrealistic life lessons. We want to set things right, so we’ve ...

Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for the DS won’t come packed with any official NFL teams or players, so it seems odd that the San Francisco 49er Gold Rush girls were called in to help kick off the unveiling of the game. But we’re not complaining and neither should you.
Scroll onward for shots of the Girl Rush girls doing their thing. There’s lots of gratuitous gyrating and ample cleavage to help remind you how much you loved ...

Here at CheatPlanet we're always trying to sort through the cheat submissions to find the tiny nuggets of helpful information hidden among the hundreds of moronic submissions we receive each day. It's a thankless job, one that we keep working on only because of our love of cheats and the happiness we feel when looking into a child's smiling face after he or she unlocks the second set of weapons in GTA IV (Call GUN-555-0100) and ...

Okay... put those last-gen Ladies of the Evening out of your mind, because the consummate professionals of Grand Theft Auto IV are here to strut the concrete catwalk. That’s right, the Hookers of GTA IV have arrived, and despite only coming in white and skinny, or fat and black, they’re positively overflowing with next-gen gutter-glam. ...

Games have given life to countless imaginary people. But which could have leapt from the pages of a far-fetched George Eliot novel, and who was the creation of a lonely coder sitting in the dark with a half-concealed erection? As we count down the 10 best and worst characters in gaming the only rule is we’re only allowed one character from each game (or else Half-Life 2 would take over, and this article would become a complete Valve ...

You’re smarter than that. The Game-shunary is a portal into the bloody, juicy heart of gaming culture. The Game-shunary is knowledge. The Game-shunary is power. The Game-shunary ate a dragon for breakfast and washed it down with lighter fluid. ...

We try to be roundly educated gamers. We claim broad interests and experience. But the truth is that we all have our fears and foibles; those bogey-games we’ll gladly feign Legionnaire’s Disease to avoid. But real men face their fears. We knew we had to grit our teeth and install these detested titles or forever have our parentage questioned. ...
