12 games you might never play (Jade Empire)

24/04/2009

Remember how great StarCraft: Ghost was going to be? Sorry, it’s dead. It’s not uncommon for games to be cancelled. It usually happens like this: A game is announced, we hear nothing about it for years, then buried somewhere in a press release about another game we find a note that mentions that it has been “indefinitely delayed,” which actually means “permanently delayed.” And that’s it, we never hear about it again. ...

The Top 7... Girl-on-girl kisses (Jade Empire)

28/11/2006

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 ...

The 9 most ridiculous things in Jaws Unleashed (Jaws Unleashed)

6/08/2009

Of all the games that have passed through our hands here at GamesRadar, few have left us as conflicted as Jaws Unleashed. Released in 2006 to a near-unanimous chorus of jeers and boos, Jaws Unleashed was the first and so far only game to cast players as a giant shark who could freely wander around finding contrived reasons to chew on people. ...

10 movie tie-ins that nobody wanted (Jaws Unleashed)

22/07/2009

Everyone expects certain movies to receive the video game treatment. It's pretty much law, for example, that all kid films and superhero flicks are converted for the purposes of gaming entertainment. But sometimes a movie tie-in that absolutely nobody was waiting for comes out of nowhere and surprises us all. They're the games based on the movies that really have no business ever being made into a game. Here are 10 such examples of misfiring ...

TalkRadar 22 – quiz show! (Jaws Unleashed)

10/10/2008

You might want to sit down for this, and if you happen to already be sitting, stand up so you can sit back down and experience our one-on-one talkin’ to with Cliffy B, the man behind all things Gears of War. Then we’re out to guess a series of iconic video game sound effects – those that stump the T-Dar crew are your chance to hop in the forum and win a GR t-shirt. ...

Jaws' best worst moments (Jaws Unleashed)

9/06/2006

Here's a little secret for you: we, the editors of GamesRadar, love Jaws Unleashed. Not because it's a particularly well-designed game, which it isn't. No, we love it because of its rich potential for gruesome aquatic stupidity. We love it because it's so over-the-top that what would otherwise be cruel becomes hilarious. We love it because a shark fires missiles. And we've decided to share some of our favorite moments with you in two spankin' new videos. The first video, titled "Jumping the ...

All the Write Moves (Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs Death)

20/07/2007

In 1983 you, like us, would have played a Commodore 64. It was also the year you could have picked up a copy of 2000AD in the UK, to read it for Skizz written by a young Alan Moore. Twenty-five years later, the worlds of comics and games have definitively separated in terms of experience - so why do we see so many of our favorite comic creator names appearing in the credits of certain games? Rebellion bought 2000AD and Judge Dredd Magazine, Top Cow is half-owned by Eidos and Rockstars marketers ...

Sex sells! (Juiced)

18/10/2007

Oct 18, 2007 According to the Entertainment Software Association's 2006 report, 38 percent of gamers are females. These numbers are down from 2005, when the fairer sex reportedly accounted for 43 percent of the pie. It seems that gaming continues to be a mostly male affair, so what's the best way to penetrate this demographic? Judging by the sex-filled ads we've seen over the years, it looks like the best way to a young man's wallet has - and always will be - through his pants. Read on and ...

Battle of the GTA clones (Just Cause)

27/03/2007

The funny thing about inventing a genre of videogames is that, until it becomes completely played out, every game that emulates your formula is going to be attached to your name. Games that feature a wide-open, freely explorable world, for example, will have a hard time avoiding the label of "Grand Theft Auto clone," especially if their worlds are littered with vehicles to steal and drive. In the six years since Grand Theft Auto III, a slew of games have tried to become "the next GTA," but so ...

The most accurate/inaccurate comic book games (Justice League Heroes)

11/08/2009

It's tough being the biggest comic nerd in the office. For instance, when a new Green Lantern film is announced, everyone wants to know the very detailed reasons why Hal Jordan's one-time weakness to yellow is no more. Then I have to educate everyone about the original Green Lantern - Alan Scott - and his weakness to wooden objects. ...

Marvel vs. DC: the games (Justice League Heroes)

28/10/2006

Are you a comic-book fanboy and a hardcore videogamer? Did you mark out when Zatanna chanted, "Namtab Pots!" before she wiped Batman's memory? Do you wish Zatanna erased the woeful Spider-Man clone saga from your memory? Have you ever screamed, "Hulk Smash!!!" while breaking down some cardboard boxes? If you've answered yes to any - or all - of these questions, then this is a great time to be you, because there are two superhero action RPGs vying for your time and dollars. In one corner ...

Justice League Heroes - Super Moves - Part One (Justice League Heroes)

12/10/2006

Regardless of your upbringing, financial situation or age, there's at least one pop culture war that you've chosen an unflinching side on. Coke or Pepsi? GI Joe or Transformers? Marvel or DC? The latter rivalry has almost lasted 80 years, gaining more steam as the decades go by. Now we've got the two comic companies fighting it out in movie theaters, toy aisles and even across every gaming console on the planet. X-Men Legends is the superhero RPG by which all others are judged, so when ...

Justice League Heroes - Super Moves - Part Two (Justice League Heroes)

12/10/2006

Yesterday we peered into the extraordinary powers of Superman, Batman and the Flash - today we're shacking up with a backwards-talking magician and three other marquee members of the Justice League. Their combined abilities should be more than a match for any villains action RPG Justice League Heroes throws your way when it's released next ...
