Why games will replace TV (Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal)

6/08/2009

The idiot box has had its time. These games do its job better. ...

100 reasons fanboys hate RPGs (Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World)

26/03/2009

The Week of Hate continues with our next “100 Reasons” video. This time, we score a 20 critical for double damage on the nerdiest of all genres. Save versus this, bitches! ...

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World)

9/05/2008

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is the sequal/spin-off to the insanely popular Tales of Symphonia, slated for release sometime in 2008 (maybe September). This far out, publisher Namco Bandai is keeping things close to the vest, but after pleading and begging, Dawn producer Tsutomo Gouda gave up a few goods in our exclusive interview.

GamesRadar: Symphonia didn’t have any of the Pokemon vibe and ...

Eight amazing games that prove Wii isn't dead (Tatsunoko vs Capcom)

14/10/2009

Wii is the punching bag of the games industry, regularly (though not undeservedly) saddled with the “kiddie crap” moniker and more associated with forgettable shovelware than legitimately good games. Those of us who own and actively play Wii obviously don’t share this view, but it’s almost impossible to read any piece of Wii news, be it feature, review or just straight reporting, without weeding out the “Wii sux who cares" crowd. ...

The 28 characters of Tatsunoko vs Capcom (Tatsunoko vs Capcom)

9/10/2009

It is nothing short of a miracle that the English-speaking world will soon get the fighting-game mash-up Tatsunoko vs Capcom. This brawler has a gathering of Capcom characters facing off against creations from Tatsunoko, a decades-old animation house whose work isn’t well known outside Japan. ...

The world according to Street Fighter [PIC] (Tatsunoko vs Capcom)

8/10/2009

Last week Capcom confirmed Super Street Fighter IV, a slight update to this year’s critically acclaimed Street Fighter IV, which will tweak certain fight mechanics as well as add several new characters to the fray. One of those new fighters is Juri, the first Korean character in the series’ 20 year history. This got us thinking, now that South Korea has a star fighter, how many countries are represented by the number one fightin' franchise? ...

12 fighters we'd like to see in Super Street Fighter IV (Tatsunoko vs Capcom)

2/10/2009

Earlier this week, publisher Capcom announced that Super Street Fighter IV, an expanded, stand-alone follow-up to this year’s fighting megahit, will arrive in stores sometime in 2010. Aside from tweaking the gameplay (like every Street Fighter expansion before it), the new game will introduce around eight “new” characters, some of which - like Korean fighter Juri – will be genuinely new. ...

Win Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li! (Tatsunoko vs Capcom)

29/06/2009

Let’s be honest, this film didn’t get the best reviews in the world, and maybe it can’t match the bombastically powerful camp value that the first Street Fighter film had, but Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li still piques our curiosity. What’s it really like? Some guy from Black Eyed Peas plays Vega? Just how hot is Kristin Kreuk in the lead role? ...

Which console will win Fall 2009? (Tatsunoko vs Capcom)

10/06/2009

Last week we weren’t entirely sure what games to expect from the big three console pushers. Oh, we knew a couple of certainties, but overall the slate was wide open, ready to be filled in during their respective press conferences. Today, post-E3, we know exactly what’s in store and what their battle plans are. ...

The Top 7... games that don't deserve nostalgia (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Virtual Console)

12/05/2008

You know that heartwarming sensation you get while remembering games of yesteryear? The one that makes you ponder, "Why aren't games this good nowadays?" It's a lie. It's a childhood veil that, once lifted, exposes how shitty some of your favorite games were all along. They didn't just sour with age - they were never that fun, you just put up with them because there was no better alternative.

Metroid, for example, is fairly crap by ...

GamesRadar's predictions for gaming in 2009 (Tenchu: The Art of the Ninja)

8/01/2009

Guaranteed 100% accurate unless wrong. ...

How classic old games would be marketed today (Tetris Party - Wii Software)

27/08/2009

Games from a gentler age given the sexy, cynical and psychotic modern day treatment. ...

Trailer Trash 14 (The Three Musketeers: One for All!)

6/08/2009

Once again, Trailer Trash saves you from the boredom of slick, glossy, overproduced game trailers with a fine selection of craptacular awfulness guaranteed to make you give up your favorite hobby. To wit: we have an entire page dedicated to Daisy Fuentes and her immovable boobs (that's page 2 if you want to click ahead.) ...

The most misleading game ads of all time (Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09)

18/03/2009

Traditionally, a videogame advert is supposed to highlight its product’s strong points in a concise, well-edited package that screams to impressionable consumers: “Buy me, and all my officially-endorsed peripherals!”. That, or be a 30 second, cynically-produced tapestry of lies made to trick and entice people with big explosions, misleading FMV and lady parts.

The latter is the sure-fire path to tread if you’re ...

The Top 7… Things we hate about sports games (Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10)

2/11/2009

Where are the flying cars? For years, our science fiction promised us that in the 21st century, we’d all be zipping around the country with speed and style in shiny hovering vehicles. Sadly, we all know how that turned out. It sure seems like we were made the same kinds of promises about our “next generation” of sports games too. ...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - developer interview (TMNT)

2/01/2007

After the first shots and details of the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie tie-in were released earlier this week, we shelled out some questions to Ubisoft's acclaimed Montreal Studio (the people behind such top titles as Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell ) to get some more details about what we can expect from its spin on the crime-repelling reptiles. Nick Harper, TMNT 's creative director, steps up from the sewers to give us some answers... Will players be able to choose which ...

The fugliest games ever made (ToeJam & Earl - Virtual Console)

17/03/2009

Sometimes, games look good. Sometimes they look bad. Sometimes they look so bad, we want to stop playing them, take them out of the machine and kill them till they're dead. Occasionally, this happens completely out of the blue in an otherwise great-looking title… and that's what we're here to look at today, in nine different flavours ...

Game music podcast goes live (Tokyo Elevator)

11/04/2007

Some of us love it. Most everyone else on the planet can't stand or ignores it. But the fact remains that video game music draws a huge audience wherever it goes, and now GamesRadar has its own take to share. Brett Elston (Nintendo Editor), Joe McNeily (Senior Editor) and Stephen Pierce (Editorial Director) sit down with a smattering of classic video game tunes and weigh in on each song. We'll cover everything from the NES to the DS to the Xbox 360 - won't you join us? Is video game music ...

Lara Croft - NUDE! (Tomb Raider: Anniversary)

22/08/2007

Aug 22, 2007 One of the best in-gags in gaming history is the "Lara Nude Cheat." For all the old Tomb Raider games, Core would leak a cheat that claimed to turn Lara naked. In reality, once you'd managed to pull off the complex moves, your only reward was to watch your heroine violently explode with a scream, her arms, legs and head flying off in different directions. Gone are such innocent times, thanks to the mod scene. Now you can have Lara look any way you wish in TR: Anniversary (sorry ...

Ten greatest moments in Tomb Raider: Anniversary (Tomb Raider: Anniversary)

20/08/2007

Aug 20, 2007 1) Wrecking the T-Rex During the first few hours of play, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Tomb Raider's bestiary of enemies is nothing other than the stuff of National Geographic - bears, wolves, crocodiles and the like. Push on to The Lost World area though, and Anniversary gets Jurassic on your ass, dropping you into the path of an enraged, prehistoric Goliath with teeth like kitchen knives. And Lara takes it down with just her ...
