Are games art?

Wii Feature | Wii

The definition of “art” is one of the most forum-spamming subjective debate topics of all time. In terms of gaming forums, somewhere beneath “Does God exist?” and “The PS3/Wii/360 sucks!” youll almost certainly find “Are games art?” Of course, when attempting to determine if something is or isnt art, were confronted with the much broader question, “What is art?” Since the 20th century, the definition of art has come under serious ...

Nightmares of a Game Store Clerk

Wii Feature | Wii

Last week, we introduced you to eight current or former game store clerks in a feature titled, appropriately enough, Confessions of a Game Store Clerk. Given complete anonymity and no-rules freedom, they shared their best, their worst and their ugliest retail experiences with us. We learned the appalling truth behind inane corporate policies. We heard the ridiculous ranting of crazy, irate customers. And we even learned the surprising sins of the employees themselves. We asked our game store ...

Confessions of a Game Store Clerk

Wii Feature | Wii

Videogame store employees. They have to have the easiest job on the planet, right? Play videogames, sell videogames, buy videogames, organize videogames, stand around and talk about videogames. They spend their entire day goofing off and hanging around the very things they love. Seriously, how hard can it be? With gaming bigger than ever, and the attraction to gaming related careers stronger than ever, we decided to uncover the truths behind the assumptions. Is this really the slacker's dream ...

Top Ten People Most Dangerous To Videogames

Wii Feature | Wii

Whom should a gamer fear? Aliens? We clip 'em with a headshot from 200 yards. Mushrooms? We'll stomp 'em flat. Guys with fast cars? Magical summoned demons? Zombie Nazis driving dinosaur mechs? Please. But in the real world, it's another story. People here can mess us up. He's an absolute nutjob, but anti-gaming crusader and "Seriously? This guy hasn't been disbarred yet?" lawyer Jack Thompson would like nothing better than to see every game, publisher, developer, and even player cast into a ...

Torn limb from limb - Resident Evil 5

Wii Feature | Wii

Resident Evil 4 was a game where you basically walked forwards the entire time, shooting everything you came across. And thats why it was so bloody brilliant. See, while the fundamentals of what made the early REs good were still present and correct, but in RE 4 Capcom cranked it up a notch. While it was still primarily concerned with conserving ammo, Capcom realized that shooting is, and always will be, more fun than fleeing. Hence, another element of the series was tweaked until its nipples ...

The Top 7... Nintendo mistakes

Wii Feature | Wii

Anywhere you look in the world today, you'll see evidence of Sony's continuing downfall. It seems like every time someone from Sony opens his mouth, we want to twist our own heads off in disbelief. Can't that damn company go one day without embarrassing itself? But if you think Sony's too cocky, arrogant and detached from the consumer base, you apparently weren't around for Nintendo's heyday. It was once just as influential, bossy and jerkish as Sony is today, and then some. Imagine a company ...

Resurrected: The games that rose again

Wii Feature | Wii

To tenuously coincide with this weekend's religious celebrations we've covered the self-proclaimed gaming saviors that were crucified by the critics and now we celebrate the resurrections - the games long thought dead and buried that were given a new lease life... Prince of Persia The kinetic adventures of Babylon's athletic blue blood first appeared in 1989 on Apple II and quickly leapt to a multitude of other platforms, including Sega Master System and NES. The original was a running and ...

NOW! That's what GR calls crap music

Wii Feature | Wii

Game graphics can be bad. But how many times have they been so bad you've looked for an option to turn them off? Never. That would be stupid. But sound, on the other hand, often has an 'off' option. It's like the developers have realized there's the teeniest, tiniest possibility their soundtrack may start to grate after extended play. Take this as a warning. You know the story - you're stuck in one area of a game, at first excited by the challenge of a puzzle or a jump you can't quite make. ...
