Over a million creatures have been uploaded to the Sporepedia since Spore’s Creature Creator was released. But now that the novelty of dancing phalluses and bouncing boob-a-licious breasts have died down, many players seem to be focusing their energies on the important stuff: recreating freaky Pokemon clones to conquer the galaxy with. ...

Sony’s great new mod-friendly game LittleBigPlanet is the most notable of a new breed of videogame about to sweep through the market. And we don’t just mean games populated with girly looking sack creatures. It has no discernible story, no bosses and, bucking the current trend, no cutscenes. In it, you will race through levels built from scratch by you. Or by your mates. ...

ROUND 1

 FROM: The Legend of Zelda series/Final Fantasy VII

Cloud’s too busy being an emo bitch to notice the fight's even started. Instead, he sits around cutting himself and absentmindedly breaking pieces off of his brittle hair. Link lunges out from behind Cloud's couch and snaps Cloud’s Fall Out Boy CD collection. Cloud cries. Link wins.

Just being able to play games is only the beginning. If you're going to call yourself a proper gamer (as opposed to a casual pretender) there are a few requisite skills that you must master first. 50 skills, in fact. And they're all right here ...

 Welcome to the monthly roundup of the weird, the wonderful and the ever so slightly perverted things that wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the inspiration provided by 30-odd years of Nintendo gaming. ...

In the brave new world of the internet, everybody has power. Information is interactive, knowledge is collaborative and history is open source. The nerdy kid next door has just as much influence as a high school teacher; the dorky dude at the comic book shop has just as much voice as a college professor.

Problem is, the nerds and dorks tend to have a lot more free time - and passion - than the teachers and professors. The end result? A hilariously skewed, terrifyingly twisted view of the world in which all the wrong things are deemed "important" and worthy of serious academic discussion. ...

Here at GamesRadar we've played and beat every game ever made (without dying or saving, and using only one hand). We know it sounds impressive, but for us it was no biggie; we're all very talented gamers who never lose. We understand that this isn't the case for everyone, so we've put together these helpful guides to help others play like us. ...

Being the whiney-ass jerks we are, we love to complain about our jobs. “X publisher is being a dick! Every game I play sucks! I hate doing a job that thousands of people would kill baby seals to do!”

In our defense, it isn’t easy sorting this hurricane of press releases, PR bullshit, speculation, trailers, screens, and boob jokes into something intelligible and interesting. Nevertheless, we are far from the ...

As Sega’s Dreamcast led the charge in next-gen gaming, the 90s dissolved into the double-Os and gamers eagerly anticipated Sony’s successor to their 100 million selling original PlayStation. And as Nintendo further sought to reach the casual consumer, PC giant Microsoft would stun gamers with their forceful entry into the console market. Sega would soon be put out to pasture. Join us as we chart the past rocky decade of the ...

The '70s were jam-packed with wannabe consoles that failed to make an impression on anyone. The '80s ushered in golden age for gamers, delivering the industry-saving NES and Sega's first major contender, the Genesis/Mega Drive. The '90s proved to be a bit of both eras, with Nintendo and Sega still fighting amidst a graveyard of utterly confusing machines that died quiet, yet expensive deaths. And then, just when it looked like Nintendo could ...
