Japanimation

Wii Feature | Wii

Detective Conan brings one of Japans most popular anime series to Wii this month - peep the review here. And weve already had the obvious fighting games based on Naruto and Bleach, as well as a swashbuckling adventures with the pirates of the popular One Piece and, uh, a Fist of the North Star pachinko game. These games got us thinking about other classic pieces of Japanese animation that wed love to see in videogame form, and how they might work. Whether or not any of them ever turn up, its ...

The Top 7... Mispronounced game names

Wii Feature | Wii

Not everything can be as simple and straightforward as Pong. Forget the design and the graphics... we're just talking about the title. Pong. So pure. So unadorned. So onomatopoeic. So easy to pronounce, a child or caveman could do it. Since then, gaming... and the naming of gaming... has only grown more confusing and complicated. Bad translations, bad marketing and sometimes plain old bad education have created a hobby where only the hardcore can make it through a list of new releases without ...

Is that it?

Wii Feature | Wii

How long should a game be? It's an impossible conundrum, like asking the length of the proverbial string. But therein lies our problem; we keep hearing sob stories from developers who claim their publisher overlords, blinded by statistics and spreadsheets, force them to implement extra modes and levels to artificially inflate a game's length. Worse still, this attitude seems to have filtered down to many gamers, who feel short-changed if their newest acquisition isn't large enough to span three ...

The worst screenshots ever!

Wii Feature | Wii

Screenshots are static images used to show off a game in the best possible way. Or at least that's the general idea. Normally, promotional pics are veritable works of art, carefully composed to ensure that they catch the eye with a certain degree of impact. Sometimes, however, we receive shots so dull that the only thing they could possibly sell is ditchwater. Here for your utter tedium, then, are 30 of the most boring screenshots that have ever been captured. Note that these are all official ...

The A-Z of Evil

Wii Feature | Wii

A Alma - as seen in F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point Most action games owe a debt to Hollywood, but this scary little girl with long black hair was a particularly blatant borrowing from Japanese horror. Still, a spectral tween who could murder entire platoons of crack soldiers in the blink of an eye, and a foe that can never be defeated? Damn. Anna Navarre - as seen in Deus Ex Deus Exs supporting cast was full of great characters, but fellow cyborg agent Anna was the standout. Initial ...

The Top 7... Secret shame games

Wii Feature | Wii

Nobody's perfect. Even the best of the best can run off the rails, and that includes many of the most reputable companies and individuals that have been involved in the games industry. They'd rather focus on their successes, of course, and most of the time they'll try to lock their mishaps away in the closet, hoping they will never be dragged out into the public eye again. But we at GamesRadar think this stuff needs to be out in the open. We're going to highlight 7 games from top-notch ...

Retrobot's favorite: Score Attack games

Wii Feature | Wii

Welcome to the first of a series of new contributions from Retrobot, GamesRadar's retro-loving, parallax-scrolling 8-bit wondermachine. He's got a Genesis for a heart and SNES for brains. We do humor him a lot of the time, if truth be told, but this week we think he's on to something. Examination of his latest ticker-tape printout revealed a list of some of the best score attack games of all time. The kind with high-score tables where holding the number one slot is a Big Deal. Watch his LCD ...

Stealing Thunder

Wii Feature | Wii

Pirates. An ideal subject matter for hackneyed analogies about sea shanties, dead men's chests and bottles of rum. None of which you shall read here, this being a serious investigative article and all. Let it just be said, it was once rumored that Chuck Norris lost a fight to a pirate, but this rumor was a lie created by Chuck Norris to lure more pirates to him. Truth be told, not even the ginger warlord or Steven Segal (or David Hasselhoff in his prime) could stem the onslaught of PC games ...
