GamesRadar Ultimate Character Battle! - Day 1

Wii Feature | Wii

ROUND 1 FROM: The Legend of Zelda series/Final Fantasy VIICloud’s too busy being an emo bitch to notice the fight's even started. Instead, he sits around cutting himself and absentmindedly breaking pieces off of his brittle hair. Link lunges out from behind Cloud's couch and snaps Cloud’s Fall Out Boy CD collection. Cloud cries. Link wins. FROM: Tomb Raider series/Disney Skateboard AdventureLara ... » Read More

Wii Feature | Wii

Just being able to play games is only the beginning. If you're going to call yourself a proper gamer (as opposed to a casual pretender) there are a few requisite skills that you must master first. 50 skills, in fact. And they're all right here ... » Read More

World of Nintendo

Wii Feature | Wii

Welcome to the monthly roundup of the weird, the wonderful and the ever so slightly perverted things that wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the inspiration provided by 30-odd years of Nintendo gaming. ... » Read More

The WTF World of Wikipedia

Wii Feature | Wii

In the brave new world of the internet, everybody has power. Information is interactive, knowledge is collaborative and history is open source. The nerdy kid next door has just as much influence as a high school teacher; the dorky dude at the comic book shop has just as much voice as a college professor. Problem is, the nerds and dorks tend to have a lot more free time - and passion - than the teachers and professors. The end result? A hilariously skewed, terrifyingly twisted view of the world in which all the wrong things are deemed "important" and worthy of serious academic discussion. ... » Read More

The Top 7... Worst jobs in the games industry

Wii Feature | Wii

Being the whiney-ass jerks we are, we love to complain about our jobs. “X publisher is being a dick! Every game I play sucks! I hate doing a job that thousands of people would kill baby seals to do!”In our defense, it isn’t easy sorting this hurricane of press releases, PR bullshit, speculation, trailers, screens, and boob jokes into something intelligible and interesting. Nevertheless, we are far from the ... » Read More

Consoles of the 2000s

Wii Feature | Wii

As Sega’s Dreamcast led the charge in next-gen gaming, the 90s dissolved into the double-Os and gamers eagerly anticipated Sony’s successor to their 100 million selling original PlayStation. And as Nintendo further sought to reach the casual consumer, PC giant Microsoft would stun gamers with their forceful entry into the console market. Sega would soon be put out to pasture. Join us as we chart the past rocky decade of the ... » Read More

Consoles of the '90s

Wii Feature | Wii

The '70s were jam-packed with wannabe consoles that failed to make an impression on anyone. The '80s ushered in golden age for gamers, delivering the industry-saving NES and Sega's first major contender, the Genesis/Mega Drive. The '90s proved to be a bit of both eras, with Nintendo and Sega still fighting amidst a graveyard of utterly confusing machines that died quiet, yet expensive deaths. And then, just when it looked like Nintendo could ... » Read More

Consoles of the '80s

Wii Feature | Wii

As the decade turned, the popularity of videogame consoles waned from an oversaturated marketplace. Coupled with horrible third-party releases, the US gaming industry crashed and led to the bankruptcy of many electronics companies. As home computers (PCs) took off, a brave few stepped through the fire and ashes and breathed life into an industry on life support. ... » Read More

Consoles of the '70s

Wii Feature | Wii

We’re kicking off four days of cartridge-based nostalgia with our guide to the consoles of the '70s. Before you roll your eyes - hey, we saw that - keep in mind these were the first consoles ever created. And without our decrepit forefathers, we wouldn’t be enjoying digital ambrosia with the likes of Mario or the Master Chief on our fancy HDTV. If you wanna know how your parents kept it real, behold - the consoles of ... » Read More

The scariest villains EVER

Wii Feature | Wii

There's been a lot of talk over the last few years about how videogames need to provoke more of an emotional response from gamers, and of how the technology is gradually allowing developers the freedom to evoke those responses. But in reality, videogames have been tapping into one of our most basic emotions for years: Fear. ... » Read More

White consoles always win

Wii Feature | Wii

If digg, N4G and NeoGaf are any indication, the internet was invented solely for gaming Neanderthals to argue about the console wars. "Framerate" this, "exclusive game" that. "Pixel bump shader fliter proxy triple mipmapping" this, "physics porn" that. It's really quite tiring, isn't it? What if we told you there was a clear and easy way to predict each victor with 90% accuracy - a way to forever silence the incessant forum-vomiting that ... » Read More

The Top 7... Consoles that never were

Wii Feature | Wii

Getting into the console business is an expensive, volatile proposition. The costs are exorbitant, the customer base is fickle and often hostile to newcomers, and putting together a cutting-edge machine means either slapping on a prohibitive price tag or losing hundreds of dollars on every sale. With that in mind, it's no surprise that the history of videogames is littered with forgotten systems that never even had a chance to ... » Read More

Our boring masked heroes

Wii Feature | Wii

See if you can guess what game we’re talking about: in the war-torn near future, a supersolider - outfitted in skin-tight armor - wages battle against legions of aliens/other supersoldiers. To protect his scar-ridden face, he dons a nondescript, yet sleek helmet, thereby rendering him mute and indistinguishable from everything else on sale. Give up? It’s a trick question.You might remember our feature on the ... » Read More

This year it's all about bite-size, full-fat fun. Perfectly-formed games that don't trouble your wallet. Mini-delights. You might think Metal Gear Solid 4 or Grand Theft Auto IV will stand out as the pinnacles of gaming in 2008, but the real stars of these 12 months are the 12 games we've listed below.

The Top 7... Gory deaths in cutesy games

Wii Feature | Wii

The bright colors and delirious sounds of cutesy games often gloss over ultraviolent gameplay. The sadistic deaths visited upon characters in these kiddie games are always hidden behind candy and rainbows. But violence without gore is like a cheeseburger without cheese. Sanitizing violence to make it “kid-friendly” hurts society more than it helps, and teaches unrealistic life lessons. We want to set things right, so we’ve ... » Read More

Sleepless in Cyrodiil

Wii Feature | Wii

Sleep is essential for survival. When you’re sleep deprived, you’re far more likely to be fragged. Yet many gamers keep strange hours, staying up late to continue playing when it’s not only detrimental to their health, but even to their ability to play. We understand the urge to keep playing, but we also wonder exactly how your gaming - and your health - deteriorates the longer you keep your eyes open. That’s why ... » Read More

The lost Nintendo games

Wii Feature | Wii

Atlantis. The Holy Grail. That episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard dresses in drag and does the macarena. They are things lost forever to the cruel winds of time, and yet they continue to capture the imaginations of successive generations. Gaming has its own graveyard of historical curios: half-born ideas and ill-fated projects that fell to the red pen of a corporate accountant. They’re called vaporware, and it looks like the Wii is on the cusp of its first two vaporware titles. ... » Read More

Getting into characters...

Wii Feature | Wii

Games have given life to countless imaginary people. But which could have leapt from the pages of a far-fetched George Eliot novel, and who was the creation of a lonely coder sitting in the dark with a half-concealed erection? As we count down the 10 best and worst characters in gaming the only rule is we’re only allowed one character from each game (or else Half-Life 2 would take over, and this article would become a complete Valve ... » Read More
