Gaming's greatest Fatties (Feature)

Feb 22, 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! ...

The Top 7... Assassins (Feature)

Feb 6, 2008

On some level, roughly 95 percent of games have always been about assassination: go to point A and kill prominent entity B, fighting your way through goons C through Z to get there. Most games tend to come up with a morally justifiable pretext for all the violence, but more and more, we're seeing games that drop the act and let you be what you've secretly known yourself to be all along: a remorseless killing machine bent on destroying your targets. ...

Gaming's biggest movie rip-offs (Feature)

Jan 7, 2008

The relationship between games and movies has always been a tense one. There's something almost violently alchemical about the way the two media usually react to each other. It's like getting hit by a yellow, piss-soaked snowball. Either element can be unpleasant enough on its own, but put them both together and something far more horrible happens. Games of movies, movies of games, they're both usually about as much fun as the death of a clown at a ten year-old's birthday party. But still we ...

Minigame Island (Feature)

Jul 20, 2007

From throwaway ideas tacked onto games that aren't much to begin with, to genuine labors of love - gifts from the developers to you - the world of the bonus minigame is wide, varied and rarely more than a couple of minutes long. Here're a bunch of our favorites. Mario vs. Luigi in New Super Mario Bros An insanely intense two-player battle that turns the classic Mario platforming action into a feat of endurance. The aim is to be first to collect up to 10 stars, but if the players decide to ...

Midway to 1UP: "Give us better scores, or we won't support you" (News)

May 31, 2007

1UP Editor, Andrew Pfister explains in his blog post why they are late with the review of Mortal Kombat Armageddon for Wii:

Because Midway didn't send the game to us for review. Apparently there were some bruised egos over there. Or a singular bruised ego. We're not exactly sure. Someone felt left out when Milky talked about top-tier fighting games in some preview a while back and neglected to mention MK, and EGM didn't score previous Mortal Kombat games as high as some of our competitors did. So Midway has decided to not send us review code at all as some sort of punishment. The message? "Give us better scores, or we won't support you."

Mortal Kombat Armageddon (Review)

May 30, 2007

Up, down, towards, away, A, down, away, B, A, B. Right now youre either nodding your head, thinking “thats what Im talking about” or youre quivering nervously, waiting for the bad GamesRadar man to stop. To the hardened Kombaters there is no greater thrill than to finger-dance opponents to their deaths with button presses; digit dexterity seeing icy-blasts ripping through human flesh and massive hats flung around with great abandon. To others there's nothing worse - a cruel hurdle ...

Wii Mortal Kombat not online (News)

May 9, 2007

Previous versions of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon allowed players to face-off online, but the Wii version doesn't. Why? Midway points the finger at Nintendo. "Obviously we had online on other platforms so it wasn't going to be a technology challenge for us," said the game's producer, Shaun Himmerick, to advancedmn.com. "Nintendo didn't have their online system ready for us when we would have needed to implement it," he continued. Nintendo must have been hogging the online tools for themselves ...

Next Mortal Kombat will be "real serious" (News)

Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon has explained that his next game is "going to be a real serious Mortal Kombat" in a recent interview. Speaking about what's coming after Armageddon with us earlier in the week, he said the new title will be "a lot more realistic-looking... we're not going to joke around in this one, it's not going to be like jokes."

Ten greatest things about Mortal Kombat (Feature)

Hey all you GamesRadar-reading moms! How many times have your kids begged you to buy them that new hot game? Even after you dumped a months worth of grocery money on that white plastic box called a Wii and something called a Zelda, they never stop pleading for stuff.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Preview)

Feb 26, 2007

After more than 15 years of flesh-tearing, gut-ripping, casually dismembering fighting action, the Mortal Kombat series is taking a final bow of sorts with Armageddon. Its plot is simple; too many tournaments in too short a time is threatening the very fabric of reality. Thus, an otherworldly demigod hatches a clever plan: hell trick the various kombatants into a final, bloody brawl for it all, with the power of the fiery monster Blaze as the ...

Every Mortal Kombat fatality ever (News)

Oct 9, 2006

It's hard to imagine a world where seven poorly animated, grisly voiced combatants could stir a nation into a videogame violence feeding frenzy. Since that original Mortal Kombat, we've ripped out hearts, beaten people to death with their own legs and uppercutted punk asses into whirling, toothy blades of steel - and not one game has ever been pulled from the shelves like congress was threatening 13 years ago. To celebrate this victory in the face of such powerful ignorance, we've compiled ...
