Putting the Wii in Windows

Wii Feature | Wii

These days, you cant release anything technological without it being hacked, retrofitted and some new function drawn out of it. The Bluetooth basis of Nintendos motion-sensing Wiimote control made it a prime candidate for retro-engineers, and theyve already got it working on the PC. Fancy physically slashing your way through Half-Life 2, or strumming an imaginary instrument? Now you ... » Read More

The Top 7... games that are cheaper than therapy

Wii Feature | Wii

Let the haters and the old ladies complain about how those newfangled video computer games teach us to be killers; we've always taken the view that violent games are a pressure valve for blowing off steam in a harmless way. Don't believe it? Play something fierce and bloody the next time you're in a really bad mood, and then try telling us you didn't feel better afterward. But why stop there? If games can keep you from climbing a clock tower and expressing your inner pain in the form of ... » Read More

GamesRadar's Anti-awards 2006

Wii Feature | Wii

Late last year we brought you the Platinum Chalice awards. It was a celebration about everything that made gaming too damn cool in 2006. But the sad consequence of having two system launches and more than five actively supported consoles and handhelds on top of that was... a glut. A glut of awesome games, to be sure, but also a glut of utter shit. So we sat down and thought about the year behind us, specifically everything that pissed us off. Things that we wish companies would give up on. The ... » Read More

The Top 7... steps to becoming a videogame snob

Wii Feature | Wii

It's cool to believe in something, to have an undying passion for your hobby. When it comes to gaming, we'll defend our views to the bitter end. But sometimes we all go a little too far, skating a fine line between fan and fanboy. How close are you? Read on... Step 1 - Swear that system X has no good games. At all. The self-proclaimed "hardcore" may read up on every game, discuss every game and spout what we try to pass off as authoritative opinions on every game... but none of us actually ... » Read More

The Top 7... games you've never played right

Wii Feature | Wii

The Silent Hill series It's a safe bet that we all play games the same way: lights on, volume at a reasonable level, perhaps other stuff going on in the background as well. For most games, that's totally cool. But there are some that you have not even begun to experience. Yes, some games demand that you completely alter your surroundings and let the mood seep through your skull, soaking every cell in your body with excessive atmosphere. So, we mined our collective memories and came up with ... » Read More

Next Gen laughs at top 10 lists

Wii Feature | Wii

Every game site, magazine, blog, and TV show in the universe does some sort of end-of-year wrap-up. It's a chance to look back and remember the triumphs, and sometimes tragedies, of the last twelve months, tie it all up with a neat, little bow, and give it one more little smooch before shoving it under the bed and screaming for something new, which you can then say isn't nearly as good as the old, classic stuff. Anyhow, these lists are typically top tens, maybe twenties. But our companion site ... » Read More

GamesRadar's potentially annual Platinum Chalice...

Wii Feature | Wii

It's the end of another great year for gamers. Two new systems launched. Two handhelds waged bloody battle. And next gen gaming got a big kick in the pants - thanks to a year of lonely rule by the Xbox 360. PC gaming fought fire with nukes, waging its battle against the console-based onslaught. In short, it ruled. How do we handle this? We're handing out our gleaming Platinum Chalice to those games and systems which gave us the business. No boring list of 37 different strategy games, divided ... » Read More

Holiday Buyer's Guide 2006

Wii Feature | Wii

It's that magical time of the year again. Time for family and togetherness. Time for snow and twinkling lights. Time for cookies, candy canes and that barely liquefied nightmare we call egg nog. But, most importantly, time for school vacation, paid days off and a whole bag of new games to play while gathered around the comforting and crackling warmth of our television sets. Yes, it's what the holiday season is all about and we're here to help you make the most of it. But with a whopping seven ... » Read More

Holiday Buyers' Guide 2006 - Wii

Wii Feature | Wii

The wait may finally be over for Nintendo's motion-sensitive console, but demand is burning stronger than ever. Right now the company couldn't earn negative press even if it planted razor-filled explosives in every 50th Wii, that's how insanely "must-have" this system is right now. But is it all justified? It's true that the launch lineup is packed with kiddy fare (Billy and Mandy, anyone?), but resting comfortably on top of this heap of baby games are several top-notch titles that'll appeal ... » Read More

The Top 7... worst product cameos

Wii Feature | Wii

Good news. Somewhere out there, somebody finds you absolutely irresistible. They're obsessed with you and want to spend every possible moment with you. They want to be with you when you watch TV, when you go to the movies and when you drive to work. And when you're sitting on the couch in your underwear playing Halo at 3 AM... that's when they want you the most. Bad news? We're speaking, of course, about advertisers. With your eyes glued to the screen and your purchasing power proven (you ... » Read More

The Top 7... Girl-on-girl kisses

Wii Feature | Wii

What's hotter than watching a cute princess kiss a fat, middle-aged plumber? Well, anything really, but given the headline above, the answer should be obvious: watching a cute princess kiss another cute princess. It's sexy, it's vaguely taboo and it's pleasantly devoid of bristling mustaches and lingering sewage odors. It's much more common to see girl-on-girl kisses in other media, but it happens in games more often than you'd think. To prove it to you, we've collected the very best ones and ... » Read More

We're busy with an avalanche of top-grade stuff here - and let's face it, ... » Read More

Get Your System on Launch Day

Wii Feature | Wii

Feel that? It's the heat of launch day, a sizzling glow that inches closer each day. If the pre-order mayhem of the last two weeks is any indication, launch day for the Sony PS3 (11/17) and Nintendo Wii (11/19) - you know, when we can get our mitts on the actual systems and not just read about them - will be even more chaotic. Here are some tips to make sure you get ... » Read More

The Top 7...Big Bosses

Wii Feature | Wii

Ah, bosses! How we love their layered life bars, cheap super-attacks and exposed weak points. It's the rules that games have to have them, so in this roll-call we look at seven titans that really threw their weight around. These are some of the biggest of the big, deserving of their boss status by barely fitting on the screen, let alone playing unfair. 7. The Hydra, God of War, (PS2, 2005) In a game that does everything big, you expect some mighty bosses, but what you don't expect is one ... » Read More
