The Top 7... Rockin' intros

Wii Feature | Wii

If there's one thing that can get you pumped to play a game, it's a rockin' intro.

Ever since consoles started kicking out high quality music and graphics in the early 90s, we've been addicted to the art of the intro. 7. Ys: The Ark of Napishtim (PlayStation 2, 2005) When this game hit the ...

Whose in-game trees are these - can you guess?

Wii Feature | Wii

Without virtual trees, landscapes in games would be a lot less lovely than they are. Can you imagine exploring Oblivion's countryside in a tree-less Tamriel, for example? It would be like a big forest, but without any, um, trees. Just a big open space with a few rocks scattered about the place to break-up the monotony of grass. It saddens our heart, then, that the sterling work of vertical wood furnishings often goes unnoticed and unappreciated by gamers. So, to help raise tree awareness we ...

The Top 7... Press launches for games

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 ...

The Top 7... Unfunny games

Wii Feature | Wii
