If game characters were old (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Jun 20, 2008

What happened to Snake? With those layered and textured wisps of oh-so-touchable hair, that Rambo-ninja headband, and a perfectly landscaped maze of lovable facial scruff, MGS 2 Snake was downright dreamy. Several years and one blond douchebag later and Snake is back with crow’s feet and the beginnings of a Geraldo Rivera 'stache. If anything is suited for sneaking, it’s the varicose veins crawling up the skin stuffs stretched over his legs. ...

The twenty thousand dollar videogame (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

May 8, 2008

You see it all the time in eBay game listings. "RARE!!!" Of course, this being the internet, it's usually part of the full listing "GEARS OF WAR FOR XBOX 360 – RARE!!!" but occasionally, it's justified. How many truly 'rare' games are worth the effort of tracking down? Here we take a look at the three different types of retro games and let you know whether they're worth the fuss. ...

What's next for Nintendo's best? (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Mar 11, 2008

Each of Nintendo's franchises is weighed down with sequels that deliver a teaspoon of new content amidst gallons of familiar fan service. This pandering ensures the devoted legions happily slam down money for the latest re-imagining of Link, Pikachu, Fox or Samus despite the overall similarity to the previous game. You love it, we love it, but after seeing crowning achievements like Twilight Princess and Prime 3, we can't help but wonder "what ...

The 10 best Zelda songs EVER (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Mar 4, 2008

Videogame music has grown tremendously over the years. From humble bleeps and blorps that could have doubled as fart noises to sweeping soundtracks that fill two discs with ease, gamers have grown increasingly fond of the melodies chirping out of their TV. And there's perhaps no set of tunes more adored than those that ring throughout the many adventures of Link. Anyone who's even held a controller in the past 20 years should instantly recognize ...

Good cosplayers put weeks of hard work and sizeable amounts of money into their projects, and ensure that their depictions of videogame characters are never short of flawless. Bad cosplayers however... ...

Fan films gone wrong: Part 2 (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Feb 6, 2008

We all know that professional movies of videogames completely miss the point nine times out of ten. They're usually made by people who seemingly have no clue what makes the IP great or the faintest idea of what its fans want. But gamers haven't got that excuse, so why do our fan films so frequently incite the urge to explode oneself to death? ...

Looking back: The Legend of Zelda (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Sep 28, 2007

Sept 28, 2007 Nintendo currently owns four of the top 10 best-selling franchises in the video game world. Number one? Of course it's Mario, the bouncy platform king everyone knows. Nipping at his heels are 493 super-powered Pokemon. Charging right behind them, however, is one lone figure riding atop his tireless steed, sword held high in utter triumph and hard-nosed defiance against all other comers. So, even though Mario and Pokemon outrank Link by a wide margin, the latter's mindshare and ...

Time traveling with Link (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

May 23, 2007

Mention Link today and most people will envisage the young wolf boy that inhabits Twilight Princess complete with his signature sword, shield and green tunic. And while theres no denying that this is certainly the best Link has ever looked, hes come along way since he first graced our consoles way back in 1986. Of course it comes as no surprise that Link has taken on a wealth of different looks over his years of adventuring and exploring. He began his adventures as a tiny sprite in The Legend ...

Nine gems of gaming merchandise (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Apr 4, 2007

Working as a games journalist has its good points. There's the fame, the money, the endless barrage of adoring, screaming women who follow you whenever you walk down the street... oh, wait a minute, that's being a rock star. Um... ok, well at least there's still the free stuff we get sent 'most every day. The quality varies considerably, but there are some real gems of PR merchandising that would probably be worth loads of money on eBay. Of course, by contract we're not allowed to sell them, ...

Ruined endings - part two (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Mar 2, 2007

God of War Kratos is totally bad ass - when have you ever killed a god? And the fact that Aries ate an H-bomb for breakfast that morning really added to the effect. Except, now that Kratos is the new God of War, shouldnt we have to kill him in God of War 2? Whatever, just let us rip the eyeballs out of something and dont make us ...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - video walkthrough (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Either way, we've got a video treat for you, a perfect way to get started on the game without revealing too much.

Twilight Realm explained (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Nov 20, 2006

Call it overkill, but this particular cinema from Twilight Princess was so cool we wanted to post it. It occurs just before the third temple, so if you're afraid of spoilers, well, you're still missing out. You'll see how and why there are two planes of existence in this Hyrule and even catch a glimpse of a power that might corrupt even Link... ooh, ...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Feb 28, 2006

This one's got a lot to live up to. Twilight Princess has to answer to jabbering nutcases who moaned about Link looking like a Disney cartoon; prove that The Wind Waker's drawn-out Triforce-hunting tedium wasn't the first sign that Nintendo is shedding its coat of magical brilliance; and, of course, make Zelda fans very, very happy. And it's one of the first games to let us feel why Revolution is the future. As we revealed back in December, stick Twilight Princess into Ninty's next console and ...

Two new villains revealed for LEGO Batman (LEGO Batman: The Videogame)

Jul 14, 2008

This is a good time to be a Batman fan. What could be the vigilante hero's best film - The Dark Knight - is due in theaters this weekend. What could end up being the character's best game, or at least the most crazily comprehensive, is releasing this September.

LEGO Batman seems to have everyone. Not just the Caped Crusader and his sidekicks, but a rogue's gallery of playable villains as well. Today, we're exclusively debuting two more, with ...

Watch the Indiana Jones trilogy in three minutes (LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures)

Jun 5, 2008

We’ve already seen the first three Star Wars films moulded into our favourite Danish building blocks. But now it’s time to move away from intergalactic wars - there are arks to be raided, and grails to be discovered. Enter Indiana Jones.

So it may not be quite as polished as its force welding counterpart, and yes The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skulls was a disappointment, but watching Indy’s first three adventures flash before you in brilliant Lego-vision will convince you that there’s life in the old dog yet. ...

We predict Lost (Lost: Via Domus)

Feb 23, 2007

Theres going to be a game of Lost. You know it. We know it. Quite what that game will involve, though, is a mystery of far more, well, Lost proportions. A chronic lack of any real information may have hampered things up until now, but this year coders Ubisoft and Lost money-men, channel ABC, are going to be a lot more forthcoming on the info front, you mark our ...
