Fantastic flops

Xbox Feature | Xbox

Solid Snake, Master Chief, Mario and Luigi – every console has its poster-boys (sorry girls, the designers and marketers are still striking out on that front). But they cast a long shadow over other titles just as worthy of a look-in: especially the ones that are so different that no-one figures out how to get them into the spotlight in the first place. So spare a thought for the little guys – here are 10 that still need your attention. Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand On GBA | By ...

We're an impatient lot, gamers, and it doesn't help that game development is prone to some whopping delays.

Best rumours ever!

Xbox Feature | Xbox

At times the internet's a shiny electro-portal straight into the heart of tomorrow, a winged techno-messenger bringing news at the speed of light. And at others, it's a river of filth, the father of lies and the crackle of static farts. It varies. But how to tell truth from desperate fiction? Well, GamesRadar, for one. And time reveals everything. Here are our favourite modern myths, debunked, de-frilled and derided. TARGET: STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl RUMOUR: It's going to be released this ...

The Godfather

Xbox Feature | The Godfather

Before sitting down to play EA's The Godfather, early previews of the game had already given us a reasonable idea of what to expect. We already knew story details, that it employed a free-roaming mechanic, and that it would be divided between on-foot and driving sections. Our first experience with the mob-based adventure was limited to pedestrian activities only, namely melee combat and the violent methods that can be used to persuade hard-working honest types that, yes, they do want to give ...

50 Cent Bulletproof

Xbox Feature | 50 Cent Bulletproof

You can't accuse hardcore rapper 50 Cent of hypocrisy when he says "get rich or die trying." When we were delivering papers for some cash to buy North vs South, 50 was selling vials of crack. At school. From the age of twelve, 50 always had his eyes on the Benjamins. And it flowed his way - first via a $5000 a day crack business, then by building a huge underground reputation on mix tapes.His breakthrough came when he was spotted by Eminem and smashed records left, right and centre with his ...

Punisher mastermind squeals

Xbox Feature | The Punisher

"Violence at its most... violent" is how PSM2 magazine described the PC, PS2 and Xbox incarnation of comic book anti-hero The Punisher. They're not wrong. With the game's sadistically varied range of kills - which are aided by anything from piranhas to crucifixes to woodchippers - The Punisher takes console violence to its logical, and extreme, conclusion. But how exactly did developers Volition come up with such a creative arsenal of carnage - and, more to the point, are they proud of ...
