The Game-shunary

Wii Feature | Wii

Welcome to the Game-shunary, GamesRadar's truly epic gaming dictionary. The goal of the Game-shunary is not to tell you a bunch of crap you already know (gee, what’s a joystick?). You’re smarter than that. The Game-shunary is a portal into the bloody, juicy heart of gaming culture. The Game-shunary is knowledge. The Game-shunary is power. The Game-shunary ate a dragon for breakfast and washed it down with lighter fluid. ... » Read More

Don't make me play that!

Wii Feature | Wii

We try to be roundly educated gamers. We claim broad interests and experience. But the truth is that we all have our fears and foibles; those bogey-games we’ll gladly feign Legionnaire’s Disease to avoid. But real men face their fears. We knew we had to grit our teeth and install these detested titles or forever have our parentage questioned. ... » Read More

3-2-1... GO! Test your racing game knowledge

Wii Feature | Wii

Once the lights turn from red to green at the start of a race, the only thought is to weave to the front of the pack and stay there until the chequered flag is in sight. But those three seconds spent on the starting grid is an experience relived again and again, causing a garage full of gridline starts to be burned into a gamer's brain. Our question is, how well can you remember them? ... » Read More

Nintendo's Big Secret

Wii Feature | Wii

If you’ve been playing games long enough, you’ll know that Nintendo loves to drip feed each of their systems with a “sequel” to an existing, beloved franchise. But something’s different now. The Wii has released most big name titles within the console’s relatively short 18-month span - Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party, WarioWare and hell, even Paper Mario.It’s no ... » Read More

The Top 7... least extreme "extreme" games

Wii Feature | Wii

The word “extreme” has been reduced to a mere excuse to highlight the letter ‘x,’ the reigning king of all letters. Just look at it, crossing out all the shit you did on your to-do list, always telling you where treasure and porn are. In fact, marketing shmucks love it so much, they figure it should never be anything but the first letter of a word.Xtreme! Xtra! Xplosion! Xtra Xtreme Xplosion XXX! ... » Read More

The Worst Celebrity Renders of All Time

Wii Feature | Wii

Celebrities get caught in a lot of ugly situations. Half naked on the beach. Wasted at an all-night rave. Dazed and confused during a police mug shot. Puffy and discolored after a botched plastic surgery. Nothing, however, compares to the horror and humiliation of appearing in a videogame. ... » Read More

Get drunk on Mass Effect

Wii Feature | Wii

How do you convince a room full of journos that your games are awesome? Well, you could put in the effort and make damn fine games that even the Pope would like - or you can ply them with booze. Here, EA does go the extra mile, creating themed cocktails for the headliner games shown at last night’s press event. A few of the games didn’t get their own drinks (and they misspelled Battlefield Heroes), but we always ... » Read More

Can game journos be TV presenters?

Wii Feature | Wii

Writers write stuff. TV presenters present stuff. That’s the way it is and that’s the way it should be. But as the internet grows, writers, particularly in the games industry, are called upon to exchange their keyboard for a microphone and their crafted turns of phrase for a forced smile and freeform, top-of-the-head chatter.Whether it’s down to cost cutting, a scrabbling for advertising revenue or delusions of ... » Read More

Every Gamer's Nightmare: Taming the Tangled Cord...

Wii Feature | Wii

Somewhere deep in your home is a writhing kraken composed of aged controllers and miles of unused cords. It's silently taunting you, daring you to assault its unchecked growth. You keep away for months, even years, scared to plunge into the brambles of ancient AV cables just for the sake of organization. Earlier this week, I dared to venture close and emerged victorious. Treasures were found, objects once ... » Read More

Games as graphs (and charts!)

Wii Feature | Wii

If you’ve ever opened a text book (those things people try to push on you when you’re not playing games), you know that they’re full of words – often large ones. Why can’t someone just condense everything you need to know into a series of bite-sized, uber-convenient nuggets of colorful joy? Well suck this into your eyeball holes, friends, we’ve got GRAPHS AND CHARTS. (See Figure 0-1 for clarification.) ... » Read More

The Best Videogame Stories Ever

Wii Feature | Wii

Whoever said videogames have no cultural value needs a shot in the mouth - or they need to sit down with The Longest Journey, Metal Gear Solid or any of the other games on our list of Best Videogame Stories EVER. A good story isn’t necessary for a good game (Halo, Super Mario Galaxy or Tetris, anyone?) but that’s what makes the games on our list just that much more important. These are good games with amazing stories of epic ... » Read More
