Objects of Gaming Hate

Wii Feature | Wii

Weve been slamming just about every hate-worthy topic in the gaming industry this week from the YouTube idiots to the never ending console wars. But weve still got a lot of pet peeves up our sleeves. In fact, we still need to get a few things off our chest by venting our frustrations regarding our most loathed objects of hate. Some of them are people: rude boys lurking in team-based shooters out there in cyberspace. Some are more tangible, like the Red Ring of Death that drills a hole through ...

Trendsetters week 4: Fighting

Wii Feature | Wii

The pioneer – Street Fighter II: The World Warrior | 1991 | Arcade In the mid-nineties, you couldnt go to any arcade without hearing the familiar thwacks coming from a Street Fighter II arcade machine nestled in the corner. Though visually and conceptually very simple, beneath the surface it was a trove of hidden depths - truly pain in the backside bosses, simple and alluring special moves (if there is one Japanese word every gamer knows, its Hadouken), lightning pace and an introduction ...

The most clueless box blurbs in history

Wii Feature | Wii

You know, game publishers are always shoving their front cover art at us - usually trying to talk us into writing it up as if it's actual news as if it has any impact whatsoever on how good the game is - hello, sports games! But they almost never show us the back of the box. That's because the back is where the slick, suit-wearing liars-for-hire from marketing try their best to convince you that you need this game. Never mind that GamesRadar gave it a 2 out of 10 - the theme song is from a band ...

Week of Hate: PC gaming arrogance

Wii Feature | Wii

If there's one thing we've been confronted with time and time again - it's that PC gamers are arrogant. This is a truism. Just ask the Editor-in-Chief of our sister magazine, PC Gamer: Greg Vederman. "We're not arrogant. No, we're simply comfortable and confident in the knowledge that our gaming platform is superior to anything else on the market, and that PC gamers tend to be a better, happier, handsomer lot than console gamers." We hope he's ...

Idiot gamers... caught on tape!

Wii Feature | Wii

Videogames are supposed to be fun, right? That's why we play them. That's why we sink endless hours and countless dollars into them. Because we enjoy playing them, correct? You certainly wouldn't know it by watching these people. They punch television screens, they hurl keyboards in their friends' faces and they make their mothers cry. They speak in a mixed language of unprintable curse words, juvenile whines and furious grunts. ...

The rudest cheats - Part 2

Wii Feature | Wii

We recently laid bare seven of the rudest cheats and patches we could find, including everything from BloodRayne II's "Juggy Mode" to nude WoW dancing and naked lesbian Sims. Turns out, we were just skimming the surface of a very deep bucket of lewd and lascivious game content, and, due to the massive response our first exposé received, we dove in for more. When we surfaced, wed pulled out five more cheats and patches which we think are the rudest ones yet. And, of course, well tell you ...

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 ...
