Who would’ve thought in the years after the Wii unveiled its dual white wands that the system’s defining genre would become multiple genres? Don’t you dare call them cheap knock offs! They’re called “Party” games, mister! Why are they so prevalent? ...

How noble, the human species! Once a year we selflessly take a break from wrapping products in toxic plastics and burning piles of old tires to appease this stupid, stupid planet we live on. How dare it demand more trees, breathable air and animals that don’t choke to death on our trash? ...

The staffers at the GamesRadar towers are lovable tricksters. Case in point: earlier today, THQ brought by All Star Cheer Squad, the new Wii game combining motion controls, cheerleading and saccharine adorableness. But what handsome dope would take such an appointment? That’s right; Associate Editor of “Tha Ladies” Shane Patterson was ripe for embarrassment. ...

Cheerleading is an extremely important and historic sport, beloved by fans around the world and totally deserving of not one, but two motion sensitive Wii games this fall. Personally, I can't wait to "spin, kick, jump and dance" to the "hottest music" and customize my "perfect competition outfit" to look "super cute"...

No, I'm not writing this article only because I get paid to do so. ...

Alone in the Dark invented the survival horror genre. Hell, the original Alone in the Dark was arguably the first to introduce fear itself into the gaming experience. You wouldn't believe how terrified we were of a couple of shadowy strategically placed polygon blocks back in 1994...

Now imagine what the franchise can do with cutting edge graphics, surround sound, real world physics and cinematic storytelling. More importantly, after ...

Thanks to his videogame-based cinematic failures, Uwe Boll is one of the most loathed men on the internet right now. In fact his detractors hate his work so much that most of them have never watched any of it. 

So in the interests of scientific endeavor, we picked up three Boll DVDs and commited ourselves to watching them all in one night. Does Boll deserve the vitriol he so readily receives from the gaming community? Read on and find out. ...

Wii is the punching bag of the games industry, regularly (though not undeservedly) saddled with the “kiddie crap” moniker and more associated with forgettable shovelware than legitimately good games. Those of us who own and actively play Wii obviously don’t share this view, but it’s almost impossible to read any piece of Wii news, be it feature, review or just straight reporting, without weeding out the “Wii sux who cares" crowd. ...

We love games. We love films. And most of all, we love a good pun. That’s why we’ve taken some of our favourite movies and games and stuffed them into a giant blender for mighty mash-up results. Ever wondered what would happen if Kratos collided with the Corleone crime family? Or if Sackboy met Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes? Well wonder no more, because we've answered your day-dreaming prayers with the following mash-up movie ...

Getting up on stage in front of an audience is nerve-wracking at the best of times. But what if that audience included Simon Cowell? Yup, in celebration of the UK X Factor and its unending choke-hold on our social lives, we've put our favourite videogame characters up in front of Simon in the style of American Idol and The X Factor.

Not even Cheryl Cole can help them ...

You may be familiar with Andy Riley's superb book The Bunny Suicides. We liked it so much, we thought we'd create an homage to it, using everyone's favourite flower-headed people.

These Pikmin burned too bright for this world. Rest in pieces ...
