Thought you were sick of all these raved-up retro remakes? Think Geometry Wars has a lot to answer for? Already played Space Invaders Extreme, Taito&#39;s previous remake? Well none of that matters. Space Invaders: Infinity Gene is still going to kick you up the arse so hard that you&#39;ll be choking...</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/download-of-the-week-space-invaders-infinity-gene-on-psn-at-50-off/</link><pubDate>April 22, 2011, 9:13 a.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>Half-Life reveal teased in Valve&#39;s Portal ARG? Clues to appear in The Orange Box? Here&#39;s the pant-wetting evidence</title><description> 

Could it be? Could it really be? Yes. Yes it could. Sit yourselves down people, and regulate your breathing, because it looks like Valve&#39;s epic Portal 2 ARG&amp;#160;might just&amp;#160;be about to drop the motherlode.

That motherlode? Half-Life.

Yeah. Half-Life. Finally, blessedly, mercifully, after...</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/half-life-reveal-teased-in-valves-portal-arg-clues-to-appear-in-the-orange-box-heres-the-pant-wetting-evidence/</link><pubDate>April 18, 2011, 11:15 a.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>The 100 best games of all time: the argue-scussion</title><description> 

As you&#39;re likely already aware, last week we posted our 100 best games of all time list. Judging by the response from you and other readers around the internets, we ruffled a few feathers and &quot;left out&quot; some key games. We assumed this would happen (of course it would, there&#39;s no way we&#39;ll...</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/the-100-best-games-of-all-time-the-argue-scussion/</link><pubDate>April 5, 2011, 12:35 a.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>Hand-drawn Half-Life videos win the entire internets&amp;#8230; and our hearts</title><description> 

There are certain pleasures in life that just make existence worth it.&amp;#160;Waking up thinking it&amp;#8217;s Monday, only to discover it&amp;#8217;s actually Saturday. Deep-fried Twixes. And of course, seeing Gordon Freeman brought to life in a charmingly lo-rent hand-drawn animation.

There&#39;s a very simple argument to the misguided notion that the PC is dead or dying. Not just the bog-obvious fact that people have been saying it&#39;s dead for years now with no sign of being right, much like a crap soothsayer knocking back the date of the apocalypse every time it doesn&#39;t happen....</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/valve-pc-is-the-centre-of-gaming-innovation-open-platforms-are-where-ideas-come-from/</link><pubDate>Jan. 12, 2011, 7:12 p.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>New Half-Life 2 fan film brings Adrian Shephard to City 17, is totally authentic until the Kung Fu starts</title><description> 

What is it with Half-Life 2 fans and quality film-making? While fan films based on any other series tend to be variable like Star Trek movies, the H-L universe has some stunning non-professional cinematic entries. Like&amp;#160;this. And&amp;#160;this. And now there&#39;s&amp;#160;Beyond Black Mesa, a...</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/new-half-life-2-fan-film-brings-adrian-shephard-to-city-17-is-totally-authentic-until-the-kung-fu-starts/</link><pubDate>Nov. 5, 2010, 12:32 p.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>Valve dresses up Team Fortress 2 for Halloween</title><description>

A bad game port is just like an ageing beauty queen. Sure, you can tell she was kinda hot before the ravages of age crushed her looks and her spirit, but those qualities are pretty hard to see under all the cosmetic surgery and cheap mascara. The words we just done typed also relate to...</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/the-top-7-worst-video-game-ports-that-shouldve-been-taken-out-back-with-a-shotgun/</link><pubDate>Sept. 6, 2010, 9:35 a.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>Half-Life 2 movie poster sees Gordon Freeman go Hollywood in incredible fashion</title><description> 

Chances are, if Hollywood ever get round to making a Half-Life movie, it&#39;ll be rubbish. Hell, we&#39;ll probably have to make do with Matthew Maconahay shoved into a pair of specs and Paris Hilton as the &#39;believably&#39; brainy Ms. Vance.

Team Fortress 2 is now available for Macs via Steam, so we figured it&amp;#8217;d be a good excuse to highlight the Scout in today&amp;#8217;s edition of Game music of the day. The smack-talking Bostonian seems to be one of the less appreciated classes in the game, which is a shame because he&amp;#8217;s so...</description><link>http://www.gamesradar.com/game-music-of-the-day-team-fortress-2/</link><pubDate>June 10, 2010, 7:28 p.m.</pubDate></item><item><title>Videogame optical illusions</title><description> Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be shocked and amazed by the world&amp;#8217;s first and only haunted internet page that is also about videogames.

Valve seems to be on a mission to empty our wallets and take over all our free desk space. Last week, the company caught our eyes with the Left 4 Dead&amp;#160;Boomer Plush.

Pac-Man and Mario owned the 1980s. Sonic, Lara and Snake took over for the 1990s. Their games are considered classics. Their names are timeless and iconic. Their images are burned into the memory of every gamer, even those who were born after the characters themselves.
