“Guns don’t kill people, bullets do.” But do they have to? Not at all, and in fact, this is all the destructive power you’re going to get out of shooting bullets.
In all honesty, some games would be better off left on the whiteboard at the design meeting. Whether they're too ambitious, too expensive or simply too good to be true, we're frequently led to imagine great things only to have our expectations dashed when the game finally arrives.

In a new, semi-regular feature GamesRadar explores what happens when video games collide with, well, anything else... via the medium of Photoshop. From movies to mammals, children's TV to cheese - as long as there's a decent pun to be made we'll do it. In this second episode: Games vs Clothes.
