The console war is OVER!

Wii Feature | Wii

We hate war. All this bickering about exclusives and online support and which console has a more phallic controller, well, it makes us sick. There’s already more than enough war in the world, and definitely not enough love, sweet love.In the spirit of peacemaking, we’ve envisioned a game industry filled with love, and we’re sharing it with you in the only way we know how - with tasteless illustrations by resident art ... » Read More

The Top 7... Articles we wish we'd thought of

Wii Feature | Wii

You may not believe this, but sometimes other websites have ideas that are just as good as the ones we think of. Of course, they aren't always as good, and some would grumble and gripe over how our articles we think are unique and deserving don't always get the attention we think that they should. However, being the progressively thinking website that we are, we get over it and understand that there are plenty of other things on ... » Read More

Jeff Gerstmann on GameSpot, Giant Bomb, and snark

Wii Feature | Wii

Jeff Gerstmann oversaw the editorial direction at GameSpot for eleven years, becoming one of the most well-liked and well-known personalities in gaming journalism. It was thus a massive shock when he was abruptly terminated by CNET in November of 2007. Surrounding the incident were suspicious edits to his recent Kane & Lynch review, rumors of advertiser pressure, and a general air of distrust. The public outcry put the integrity of every ... » Read More

Zero Punctuation: the rip-offs!

Wii Feature | Wii

Anyone with a passing interest in the videogame internets will have caught the very mighty Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's weekly video reviews. If not, check 'em out, very funny, very cool, yes we wish he worked for GamesRadar… Anyhow, unless you spend all your free time poking around in the neatherbelly of YouTube, you may not have seen the bastard offspring of Yahtzee's crude animation style and nimble-mouthed swear-mongering.Put simply, ... » Read More

100 Reasons Fanboys Hate GamesRadar

Wii Feature | Wii

We knew right away that in order to get away with the Week of Hate, we’d have to suffer the same derision to which we subject others. It’s only fair, right? Online games journalism is not for the thin-skinned. We know we’re not perfect; we know we’ve made mistakes. We even have personal beef with some of the stuff on our own ... » Read More

Pixels to paper - 10 videogame novels reviewed

Wii Feature | Wii

Videogame novels are easy to scoff at. And not just because the average videogame plot is thinner than the paper the tie-in novel is printed on. They're unashamedly commercial, often branded with references to the 'award-winning' game that inspired the hacked-out work of fiction, and the writing quality is... Well. Adequate. But gamers love them. ... » Read More

GamesRadar vs. Shirley Phelps-Roper

Wii Feature | Wii

For those unfamiliar with the enchanting Shirley Phelps-Roper, she’s the most vocal member of the nationally reviled Westboro Baptist Church. Seen on numerous television programs and the subject of the BBC documentary The Most Hated Family in America, Shirley and the WBC have become notorious for obnoxiously disrupting the funerals of US soldiers with cartoonish homophobia and doomsday prophecies. But we wanted to chat with her about games. ... » Read More

100 Reasons Fanboys Hate PC Gaming

Wii Feature | Wii

Now that we’ve honed your console hatred to laser intensity, we must turn our attention to the biggest snobs in gaming. You know, those guys and gals who think consoles are children’s toys and pour every last dime into keeping their PCs upgraded with all the latest components (no one at GamesRadar is like that, we swear.) When you try to tell ... » Read More

13 Worst gaming innovations of all time

Wii Feature | Wii

Game - 1. an amusement or pastime 2. fun; sport of any kind; joke During their short history, videogames have grown from static screens of beeps and blips to artistic dreamscapes. Flashy graphics and memorable characters would be nothing without crafty design innovations like ragdoll physics and branching storylines that make games what they are today. But how many times ... » Read More

The runaway mainstream success of the Wii only makes the pill that much more bitter. To compensate, here are 100 of Nintendo’s most fantastic follies set to our ... » Read More

100 Reasons Fanboys Hate PlayStation

Wii Feature | Wii

What’s the first company that comes to mind when we say “overpriced hardware” or “arrogant executives?” Sony has pulled more than its share of game industry boners, and our latest Week of Hate video calls out 100 of the most egregious. If you can’t stand to see your precious PlayStation savaged thusly, sit tight. Tomorrow we’ll tighten the thumbscrews on Nintendo. Let the Two Minutes of ... » Read More

100 Reasons Fanboys Hate Xbox

Wii Feature | Wii

Microsoft was already a widely reviled company before it set its sights on the videogame hardware market. Though the Xbox brand has been successful at taking the fight to Sony’s PlayStation products, a seemingly bottomless supply of anti-Microsoft sentiment still exists in the gaming community. We’ve rounded up the one hundred most common reasons why fanboys hate Xbox, and condensed them down to a blistering two minutes of pure, ... » Read More

The Top 7... Stereotypical gamers we hate

Wii Feature | Wii

We'd rather be stabbed in our necks with rusty ice picks than try to hold any sort of conversation with one of these imbeciles. Emergency tracheotomies would both be less painful, and more likely to get us shots of morphine - a far more desirable experience.We're referring to rare, but very real individuals who by some astonishing means perfectly embody corny, old gamer stereotypes that definitely shouldn't describe any actual person ever.

Why is GR doing a week of hate?

Wii Feature | Wii

Out of all groups of people, doing all types of hobbies, gamers hate the most. Gamers (and yes, we include ourselves in this) moan. Christ do they moan. They moan about hardware prices, software prices, they moan about missed release dates and they moan that the game's not finished if does come out on time. Gamers hate buying games that turn out to be rubbish, but say they hate or don't trust reviews. Gamers moan about graphics, sound and ... » Read More

59 levels to play before you die

Wii Feature | Wii

Face it. No matter how dedicated and/or certifiably mental you are there is absolutely no way you can play all the games that Mother Software produces from her cavernous womb. You're never going to sample every level that gaming has to offer. And that's a real bummer, because there are plenty that absolutely must be played. Like the 59 levels we heartily recommend right here, in fact, that we feel every gamer should experience before they expire. ... » Read More

As you rebuild civilization and restore your people's faith in this sim/action hybrid, you'll find yourself honestly caring about your subjects' helpless lives. Nowhere is their plight more touching than Kasandora, where you help a starving desert tribe grow into a bustling village, only to see an old man die in the dunes. His last wish is for rain, which you grant. ... » Read More
