WiiPod

Wii Feature | Wii

The Wii can be one noisy box. Internal whirring, the welcome chime, the clicking as you pass over the Wii channels - even the most minor of Wii sessions is a guaranteed aural bombardment. However, listen carefully and youll find that the little white box is capable of syringing hot tuneful goodness through this waxy build-up of irksome clicks and beeps - and so it is with this semi-medical purpose in mind that we present the choicest Wii musical cuts currently available. Most of them can be ...

5 minigames that are better than full-price games

Wii Feature | Wii

It would be so easy for a developer to chuck in a simple bit of code as a let's-cram-a-few-extras-in afterthought with full price games and, let's face it, many have. But we know there are those out there who really do care about us gamers and want to reward us handsomely for completing the main game. And those caring developers certainly don't want us slamming down our pads in frustrated boredom over that one tedious minigame that's preventing us from moving on to the next level. If you get ...

Confessions of a Game Store Clerk - Part Three

Wii Feature | Wii

GamesRadar: Let's discuss a more specific kind of customer: the fanboy. Who are the most obnoxious? #5: I hate to stereotype, but Xbox fanboys are the worst. They've got this weird obsession with getting Linux on their consoles, but then never use Linux as their actual desktop at home; it's always Windows. I work in computers for a living now, so this kind of thing continually annoys me. #1: Along with the "my games look and sound better than yours" mentality, the Xbox / Xbox 360 fanboys also ...

Confessions of a Game Store Clerk - Part Two

Wii Feature | Wii

GamesRadar: Now let's talk about some of the personalities you interact with... starting with coworkers. What kind of conversations do you guys have? #1: Too many to count.... a few standouts are Star Trek vs. Star Wars, best-looking chicks in a videogame and who would win in a fight... "fictional character #1" or "fictional character #2"? #6: Yeah, Star Wars... whether or not Darth Maul was badass. Just to play devil's advocate, I had to throw Jar Jar into the mix. "Dude, Darth Maul's so ...

Confessions of a Game Store Clerk - Part One

Wii Feature | Wii

GamesRadar: Starting from the beginning... what made you want to work at a videogame store in the first place? Employee #1: Who wouldn't want to spend their days hanging out with friends, talking about videogames and getting paid to do it? Employee #2: I thought it would be fun. I thought I knew enough about games that I could be informative when customers had questions about them... Employee #3: I wasn't really looking for a job in gaming, but since I bought a lot of games, I figured it ...

Nintendo fangasm

Wii Feature | Wii

There are two kinds of Nintendo fans; those who buy the systems and like to have fun, and those who do weird Nintendo-related shit in their free time that's also pretty cool. Oh and both might buy those "trendy" Hot Topic shirts. Here's a sampling of some of the crazy stuff that these Nintendo fanboys have been up to: 1) The Famicom guitar: You're probably thinking that this guitar/Famicom hybrid beats fire, the combustion engine and sliced bread as mankind's best invention ever. That's until ...

Top 7 Worst Mash-ups

Wii Feature | Wii

7. The Typing of the Dead 2001 - Dreamcast, PC 1999's The House of the Dead 2 was one of the finest lightgun shooters ever conceived - fast, gory and filled with awesome-looking zombies and monsters to blow apart. We don't know who originally thought it would be a good idea to turn that into a semi-educational game where you type words and phrases to kill zombies, but whoever they are, they deserve a damn medal. The Typing of the Dead is number seven on this list for a reason. While the rest ...

The Wind Waker risked everything by transforming everything - the series' familiar look, its beloved world, even its iconic ...

The games that shaped a generation: GameCube

Wii Feature | Wii

10. Resident Evil Capcom | Capcom | 2002 Affectionately known as "REmake," this horror classic was the first game to show off what the Cube could really do, with visuals that literally made our jaws drop What made it so great? In a word: zombies. Big, beautiful zombies with hyper-detailed ribbons of flesh dangling off their leering, glassy-eyed faces as they lurch forward to clutch at your throat. In 2002, Resident Evil was the best-looking game to appear on any platform, ever, pumping out a ...

The games that made a generation

Wii Feature | Wii

The era of the GameCube, Xbox and the PlayStation 2 has arrived at its end. Sure, a few great titles will squeak out for the PS2 - but the other two are total goners, and the days of big-budget hits - and innovative games - are far behind all three of them. The PC, meanwhile, is entering into a new era thanks to the advent of Windows Vista and the game-powering DirectX 10 that comes bundled with it. Obviously, the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii have established themselves. It's time to move ...
