The Top 7... Lamest party games (Game Party)

12/10/2009

It’s comforting, isn’t it? Though our hobby is famous for igniting stupid flame wars and for inspiring stubborn fanboy bias, all gamers – no matter what their console or genre preference – can agree on, and rally around, one unassailable truth. Party games suck. ...

BioShock - Big Daddy's super pissed (GamesRadar Digital Shorts)

20/08/2007

August 20, 2007 The denizens of underwater dystopia Rapture have always had it tough without having to worry about some downed pilot coming in to inject mysterious liquid in his wrists so he can shoot bees at their neighbors. The GamesRadar interns have seized upon this idea and crafted another marvelous short film, poking fun at what really goes on in BioShocks city of artists - not to mention what really gets the Big Daddy angry. The videos only about a minute long, so check it out. When ...

MGS4 - Close Quarters Combat and you (GamesRadar Digital Shorts)

8/08/2007

The GamesRadar interns are back at it again, starring in a war-time newsreel for tips on disarming your opponent using Metal Gear Solid 4s new tactics. Head here to see Hideo Kojimas 15-minute demo at the recent MGS 20th anniversary event and scroll to 3:10 in the clip. We think the new moves are slightly ridiculous. What do you think? Tell us in our forums. When you're done, check out The history of Resident Evil, another GR acting endeavor. Take a look below and be kind about the ...

Score 6,922,193,250 points! - amazing video (Geometry Wars: Galaxies)

20/11/2007

Nov 20, 2007 When hes not taking fat bong rips, Xbox LIVE gamer ChIefIn4LIFE420 probably takes a moment each day to admire the top scores on the Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved leader board. At least thats what wed be doing if we were ranked as number one with a ridiculous high score of 500,684,945 points next to our gamer tag. But that puny pool of points is peanuts when compared to what can be achieved in Geometry Wars: Galaxies on the Wii. Meet Mavis Giss, QA tester for Sierra Entertainment, ...

EXCLUSIVE G-Force enemy bios (G-Force)

2/07/2009

Summer is full of free time, and we know what that means: staying inside, playing games and not letting the sun’s rays touch your skin. But there are also blockbuster films to deal with, which are worth going outside for, at least for the short amount of time needed to get to the theater. ...

2007 - The best gaming year ever (Ghost Squad)

20/12/2007

20th Dec, 2007 Gaming is an up and down experience. Some years cram top quality titles into our every orifice until were bursting with videogame joy and have excess polygons dripping messily out of our ears, while some other years… Well, some other years are 1983. In 2007 though, weve had a very good year indeed. A scarily good year in fact. One which has provided us so much brilliance on every format that its a genuine worry that the laws of karmic balance will soon bring us a plague ...

Link's Crossbow Training saves Wii (Ghost Squad)

28/11/2007

Nov 28, 2007 As you should have noticed by now, the on-screen cursor for the Wii Remote does not appear directly where you're pointing it at the sensor bar. Lift the Remote to your eye and look down the length of it at your TV - like a gun - and you'll see what we mean. This is because there's no calibration screen. How does the Wii know when you're pointing at the edge of your TV? It doesn't, because it doesn't know how big your TV is. So instead it scales your movements roughly, like a 3D ...

Ghostbusters: the Harold Ramis interview (Ghostbusters The Video Game)

16/06/2009

It’s been 25 years since Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson saved New York City from the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters. After a theatrical sequel that didn’t live up to the original in many fans’ eyes, the quartet have reunited for an original videogame outing that unfolds like a third installment of the film franchise and ships today on PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2 and DS. ...

Long lost movie games (Ghostbusters The Video Game)

11/02/2009

Why shouldn’t we be able to play all of our favorite movies? Who cares if they barely have relevance outside of a VH1 retrospective, it’s not like this is a new concept. Chow Yun-Fat getting too elderly for a Hard Boiled sequel BAM: John Woo’s Stranglehold! Dan Aykroyd’s getting the run around from Hollywood? BOOM: Ghostbusters is hitting every platform this summer. Hell, both The Godfather and Scarface have gotten revisionist updates, Al Pacino’s participation be damned! ...

Will there be any decent movie tie-ins this year? (Ghostbusters The Video Game)

9/01/2009

The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, Ghostbusters on C64, Aladdin, Goldeneye, Riddick: the list of great movie tie-ins is barely longer than Russell Crowe’s temper. What chances, then, of even seeing a few good ones during 2009? Can the year that sees Barack Obama’s inauguration, a Michael Jackson comeback, and a Star Trek movie that doesn’t suck, prove that anything is possible?

Gaming's greatest Fatties (Ghostbusters The Video Game)

22/02/2008

Just in time for Black History Month, GamesRadar is proud to present a completely unrelated article about fat people. Chubbies are everywhere these days. Your next door neighbor could be a fatty. More than likely, your mom is one, too. Oh, Snap! ...

2007's worst kept gaming secrets (Ghostbusters The Video Game)

18/12/2007

18th Dec, 2007 There are some things that developers and publishers just don't want you to know. And given the unnaturally high number of game announcements, hardware revelations, industry shake-ups, and all round cool things going on this year, they've wanted you to not know a lot during 2007. Thankfully though, the internet exists, and thus nothing is sacred. That's the eternal irony of the games industry. It's a business which tries to shroud itself in secrecy, but whose patrons congregate ...

The 15 stupidest game types Wii invented (Go Play Circus Star)

17/04/2009

Who would’ve thought in the years after the Wii unveiled its dual white wands that the system’s defining genre would become multiple genres? Don’t you dare call them cheap knock offs! They’re called “Party” games, mister! Why are they so prevalent? ...

Battle of the GTA clones (The Godfather Blackhand Edition)

27/03/2007

The funny thing about inventing a genre of videogames is that, until it becomes completely played out, every game that emulates your formula is going to be attached to your name. Games that feature a wide-open, freely explorable world, for example, will have a hard time avoiding the label of "Grand Theft Auto clone," especially if their worlds are littered with vehicles to steal and drive. In the six years since Grand Theft Auto III, a slew of games have tried to become "the next GTA," but so ...

Busted Cheats: Week 2 - Illinois and global exclusive Huxley cheats (Godzilla: Unleashed)

5/06/2008

Every week we get hundreds of cheat submissions from our readers to add to CheatPlanet. Only a few of these actually survive the brutal, razor-sharp scrutiny and testing we put them through, and emerge as the fine cheat flavored paste that we put onto CheatPlanet. Most of the leftovers we just throw away, flush them down the internet tube never to be seen again. However, there are a few exceptionally stinky cheats that we feel ...

The worst screenshots of E3 2009 (Grand Slam Tennis)

9/06/2009

The whole point of E3 is for publishers and developers to show off their new games under controlled conditions. You know, to let them show them in the way they want them to be seen without journos choosing to show the flaws.

AND YET. We still get sent screenshots that look like someone deliberately picked them to make the game look bad. Look at these amazing examples of fail from this year's show ...

The Wonderful World of WiiWare (Gravitronix - Wii Software)

1/04/2008

With a majestic blast of mighty horns we herald the arrival of WiiWare, a veritable gaming revolution. Not revolutionary in its downloadable content ways, mind - people have been fattening their game libraries with downloaded extras ever since Shakespeare released a half-arsed Defender clone based on Twelfth Night (available through Wi-Pigeon). No, it’s the freedom from the creative shackles of cold corporate games development that has ...
