The Top 7... Press launches for games

Wii Feature | Wii

Hollywood and the music industry are well known for star-studded launches, but without the pull of celebrity to rely on, the games industry has to get a bit more "creative" when it's putting on a press event. Whether you're giving the assembled journalists a sense of the game by doing something horrible to them, letting them fire a machine gun or simply hiring some girls to prance around in spandex, the most important thing is to be memorable. And these seven events GamesRadar writers attended ...

World of Nintendo

Wii Feature | Wii

1) Donkey Kong building Students of game design at Associate Editor Shane Pattersons alma mater, University of California in Santa Cruz spent five hours sticking 14,000 Post-It notes to the inside of their windows, and created this fantastically ginormous piece of pixel art. All buildings should look this colorful. 2) Marios revenge Revenge for what? Were not entirely sure, but this rather gruesome scene was created in PC shooter Half-Life 2 by somebody who clearly feels theres only room for ...

100 Deaths of Mario

Wii Feature | Super Mario Galaxy

If you have a thing for the grim and morbid, then you'll feel right at home as we've dug up 100 deaths of our beloved Mario.

Wii Feature | Wii

Now that PS3 has taken root and next-gen begins to settle into this-gen, we can really start to get excited.

So where do we go from here? As game makers seek to push the boundaries of what we know and expect from videogames, we take a look at the titles that have defined the most ...

The Top 7... Unfunny games

Wii Feature | Wii

An actor on his deathbed once said, "Dying is easy; comedy is hard." Nowhere is that maxim more true than in videogames; you'll die a lot, and comedy can be really, really hard - to sit through, at least. Humor might be a subjective thing, but genuine laughs in games are rare no matter who you are. Lots of games try to crack occasional jokes, and a lot of them fail miserably. ...

A time (whisper it) before videogames even existed. What did people do? Turns out it wasnt actually so different. Weve trawled the history books and found the earliest examples we could of all the major gaming staples. From a fully functional 1936 light gun game to a steering-wheel controlled racing ...

Trendsetters week 6: Survival Horror

Wii Feature | Wii

The pioneer - Resident Evil | 1996 | PS1 Responsible for coining the term survival horror, Resident Evil was more than a third person action/adventure with a few monsters in - it marked out the beginning of a genre that actively went out of its way to unsettle and isolate players. For a start, you never had enough ammo, so sooner or later you were going to have to run. But run where?
