Gears of War 2: Summer 2008?

Wii News | Wii

Jan 17, 2008 Each and every New Year, members of the gaming press begin tripping over themselves in hopes of predicting the big things in the coming dozen. Be it right, wrong, vague or obvious - you're sick of reading them, we're sick of reading them. So in one fell swoop, GamesRadar has told every other aspiring '08 Nostradamus to suck it long, and suck it hard: We got psychics. Ignoring the tired tradition of basing predictions on facts, intuition or consulting with experts, we went to ... » Read More

LittleBigPlanet Screens You will not want to miss this LittleBigPlanet video, which offer a glimpse at how a professional game designer might create a level (in super-fast motion for that “its happening right now” effect.) Your mileage may vary. While youre at it, take a look at the companion video, the always-dazzling leaderboard. Imagine a spreadsheet where one entry keeps moving up the list. Its like nothing you will ever see on Xbox ... » Read More

Suda 51: Third party Wii games aren't selling

Wii News | Wii

Jan 16, 2008 Goichi Suda, otherwise known as Suda 51, claims that third-party titles for the Wii aren't selling in Japan and that only Nintendo is really profiting from its success. Speaking about Japanese sales of his game, No More Heroes, he says, "Whilst the sales weren't as high as I hoped, other titles for Wii aren't selling so well either. Only Nintendo titles are doing well. This isn't just because of the current situation in Japan, as this is happening outside Japan." He also ... » Read More

DVDstruction - 5 reasons your HD-DVDs are still...

Wii News | Wii

Jan 15, 2008 Update: By the way, for all of you frothing-at-the-mouth conspiracy theorists who've written in accusing us of being on the take, you'll note that we never actually endorse HD-DVD over Blu-ray. We're not saying it's better... at all in fact. We're simply trying to shine a little sunshine into the lives of all those HD-DVD fans out there. Relax. We like movies. You like movies. And we have game systems that play movies. In our first week, we look at the current Hi-Def format war. ... » Read More

The top 10 famous glasses

Wii News | Wii

Sunglasses. Wear them, and no one will know where you're looking. Are you making eye contact when you speak? Maybe, but they don't know. Thats how cool you are. Now, if you wear your sunglasses all the time, indoors and out, rain or not-as-much rain, then you're probably wearing famous glasses. No need to apologize for that. The following are the top 10 famous glasses (in video games, mostly), as deemed by us, the arbiters of cool. ... » Read More

The Top 7... Lovable blobs

Wii News | Wii

Jan 14, 2008 Videogames are weird. Weird. Rules that apply to books, television and movies don't work at all here. Take blobs, for example; so far, Hollywood has produced only one major blob protagonist, and it was a pink monster that devoured everything in its wake. Conventional wisdom holds that nothing that horrible could ever be made cute or marketable, let alone heroic, and yet videogame history is filled with cute blobs who've touched the hearts of millions and become more memorable and ... » Read More

Why the hell did you license that?

Wii News | Wii

11th Jan, 2008 Games based on licensed IPs are the unpleasant body odour of gaming. No-one really likes them, but they're inexorably tied to the medium and just keep coming back no matter what we do to get rid of them. As crap as most of these games are though, the licenses they're based on usually make sense. Big movies, popular, action-packed TV shows and successful sports stars are all perfect subjects to stick on a box in order to persuade the unsuspecting buyer to pick it up. It's a ... » Read More

The Biggest Flakes of 2007

Wii News | Wii

Jan 10, 2008 Release dates - like hearts, promises and Xbox 360s - are made to be broken. Games scheduled for next week invariably slide into next month, next month into next year, next year into next decade... and next decade into, well, never. We must resign ourselves to this rule or live in perpetual disappointment. But indulge and imagine for a moment. What if those dates were always hit? What if developer and publisher promises were always kept? What if forum predictions were always ... » Read More

What game names really mean

Wii News | Wii

Jan 9, 2008 If you want to sell your product, you need a catchy name, something that immediately resonates with your intended audience. This is incredibly true in video games, an industry that began with no-nonsense names like "Combat" and "Pong." Today, with a global marketplace and niches to fill on a daily basis, game names have become increasingly cryptic, nonsensical or double-meaning in-jokes that about five people get. That's where this list comes in. By compiling information from ... » Read More

Gaming's kinkiest costumes

Wii News | Wii

January 8, 2008 Girls, eh? Sadly, it seems the geekier we are about games, the fewer naked girls there are in our bedrooms. Odd, that. But don't worry - there are plenty of girls who will play with you. They may not be entirely real, but they will happily let you dress them up (Rumble Roses), hose them down (also Rumble Roses) and wrestle each other in a mud pit for your amusement (Rumble Roses again). So it kinda evens out. But the fantasies don't end there. Actually, there's something for ... » Read More

The Top 7... Franchise Embarrassments

Wii News | Wii

Jan 7, 2008 Every family's got one. The drunken brother-in-law. The cousin with a criminal record. The perverted uncle who hasn't been invited to reunions or holidays since his incident with the goat. Whatever the name and whatever the shame, we all know that one relative we're just not supposed to talk about. Every videogame franchise has one of these regrettable members as well. Fans and developers may try to ignore, forget or even erase its existence, but the stain will always remain. Here ... » Read More

Midway to merge with Eidos?

Wii News | Wii

Jan 3, 2008 A source has told Next Generation that Midway and SCi/Eidos are evaluating the possibility of a merger. As recently as November 2007, Tomb Raider house SCi openly announced that it is entertaining offers for the company. A source within a major game publisher told Next Generation Wednesday that Chicago-based Midway is one company that is interested. This would be the second time that the two companies were looking to merge, as Midway and Eidos parent SCi were in "very ... » Read More

GamesRadar's Anti-Awards 2007

Wii News | Wii

Jan 3, 2008 A few weeks ago we crafted a best-of-the-year list, obeying internet trends and expectations like a good little website. Now it's time for awards that you actually want to read. We're calling out all the crap that pissed us (and you) off in 2007 and, just like last time, we're handing out high quality, gold-plated awards. This year, unlucky winners shamefully walk away with the soon-to-be-coveted, slightly oxymoronic "Golden Red Rings Award." Other, slightly less sucky losers get ... » Read More

The Top 7... Gamers' New Year's resolutions

Wii News | Wii

Dec 31, 2007 Congratulations, you survived 2007. Know what that means? Its time to invent a bunch of uninspired goals and ambitions for the coming year so that next year you can hate yourself for not accomplishing any of them. Its an awful tradition that probably shouldnt exist in any form, but this year were changing things. We set down the potent cocktails that we resolved to stop drinking last year and took some time to pen some realistic goals, ones we can really stick to. No, really. Our ... » Read More

Dec 28, 2007 Our UK brothers recently posted a guide to knowing when games are taking over your life. We thought wed take that idea one step further. Weve all been there before; some gaming experience wed never share - something so embarrassing we wouldnt disclose to anyone other than our private blogs. For every World of Warcraft wedding you usher on the weekends, theres a copy of Hannah Montana for the DS we had double-bagged at EB Games.

10 features we want in online shooters

Wii News | Wii

Dec 26, 2007 Multiplayer shooters have advanced stupendously since the likes of Doom and Quake. Contextual actions, unlockable weapons, team and objective based combat, physics, sprawling maps, class systems and a slew of other complexities have been crammed into modern frag-fests. Nevertheless, there are still a few features and concepts wed like to see perfected before the inevitable next step involving wires poking out of our brain stems. Potentialities like Call of Duty 5, Halo 4, Rainbow ... » Read More

Dec 25, 2007 The ability to trade games for other games is a beautiful thing. However, it's also fraught with peril.

We've spent literally months trading games on various services and choosing the best ones to recommend to you. We've scored big a few times, we've gotten burned a few times, and if we ... » Read More
