A History of Hate

Wii Feature | Wii

Out of all the game systems that have ever been released, which one did you hate the most? We didn't ask which one you liked, because let's face it: If you didn't own the one that we owned, you suck. Most gamers are not affluent enough to own every system that comes out. But being a one-console family instantly puts you on one side of a fence. Historically, when faced with the reality that maybe - just maybe - the game console they didn't buy could have something going for it too, gamers ...

Ninten-Dough

Wii Feature | Wii

The $1000 Wii Zelda and Wii. Two of our favoritest slices of Nintendo brilliance. So when we found out some talented scamp had managed to combine the two, in a breathtaking piece of technical and artistic wizardry, we almost choked on our sandwich. Ramon Stokes tells us about his rather ingenious and wondrous combination creation, which ended up selling for $1,276 on eBay. Thats some amazing work youve done there. What gave you the idea to create a special Zelda-style Wii? Stokes: I was ...

The Top 7... more fun to watch than play

Wii Feature | Wii

Watching a movie and playing a game are two entirely different forms of recreation. Each requires a totally separate mindset - one's for sitting back, planting some roots in the couch and vegging out in front of the screen as images flash through your retinas, while the other demands constant attention and quick reflexes. Some games cross the line into cinema territory and many movies make you sort out all the high-concept details, but by and large the two mediums exist independently of each ...

Culture of Hate

Wii Feature | Wii

Gamers are a passionate lot. They pour thousands upon thousands of hours into their favorite games, and shell out billions of dollars a year to suckle at the electronic teat. But why are so many gamers disillusioned, bitter, and frustrated? Is it that the industry really is just a steaming turd of rehashed ideas, blatant rip-offs, and bad PR? If so, why do we keep spending our time and money on it? The only answer is that gamers simply love to hate. Welcome to Hate Week, where we'll deconstruct ...

What gamer type are you?

Wii Feature | Wii

Where once gamers were just geeks, we know that's not quite true anymore. Outsiders might still see the pale, socially inept bedroom dweller in all gamers but from the inside there's a wealth of difference. Every gaming type is catered for in today's multi-billion dollar industry and, like it or not, we probably all fit quite neatly into a certain crowd. The games you choose, systems you pre-order and characters you revere define your inner gamer. So we're here to help you find your place in ...

The 10 worst game intros of all time

Wii Feature | Wii

Quick question: What's the first thing you see when you boot up a game for the first time? OK, yeah, a loading screen, a bunch of company logos and a title screen, but what about after that? You see an intro sequence, a carefully constructed bit of (usually) non-interactive wizardry designed to hook you into the game and get you interested in its characters and plot in those crucial early moments of play. Of course, not every developer realizes how important a decent intro can be, and they've ...

Incoming games for your Wii and DS

Wii Feature | Wii

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption It's back into the deepest pits of development for Metroid Prime 3. With the release date postponed indefinitely, Retro Studios have time on their side in the quest to perfect the first-person Metroid experience on Wii. The last time we remember this happening was when the original Metroid Prime was met with disapproval from Nintendo's Japanese overlords. The result was a long delay, plenty of reworking and, ultimately, a game that many rate as the best thing on ...

Animal Crossing Dream Town

Wii Feature | Wii

While MySims looks adorable, there are many of us here who refuse to get excited about a cutesy town simulator thats not Animal Crossing. We know its coming and we cant wait until we get to send each other more messages and outfit our homes with songs that can only be acquired on Saturday nights. Without further adieu: 1) Outdoor pursuits How about a fitness trail through the woods, or a soccer lawn? So theres actually something to do when your pal suggests going for a walk. 2) Games room Wed ...

World of Nintendo

Wii Feature | Wii

1) Arr-rrrooooo! Good grief; Its an actual Link-wolf, photographed with some pixie people (or its a talented Welsh cosplayer named Karen). 2) Portable feast At first we thought this was some kind of funky rubber case for the DS, but its actually a birthday cake. Our jaws are dropped in hungry admiration. 3) Donkey mosaic A high-powered sniper rifle is one way to stop vandals scrawling all over your walls. Another is to install one of these awesome ...

And then you suck a dragon's boobs...

Wii Feature | Wii

Like most cheat sites, CheatPlanet is driven by user submissions. While most of the submissions contain immensely valuable cheats and hints (and we love you for submitting them), some of them are total crap. Total, complete, utter, ridiculous crap. And yeah, its someones job to wade through this pool of randomly typed characters, 1337 speak, and profanity to rescue the useful game knowledge floating around beneath the surface. To get to the point: occasionally this pool reveals a true gem - a ...
