Videogame hearts you can KILL (Legacy of Kain: Defiance)

12/02/2009

Not so lucky in love? Dreading Valentine’s Day because it’s yet another reminder of what some vindictive ex did to you, or how everything was once going so well and now all your dating options are miserable? Do you feel like breaking a heart this time around? If so, may we suggest these killer organs who are already seeking to break you. ...

Top 7... Death Rattle Games (Legends of Wrestling)

10/03/2008

We'd like to think that every developer sets out to make the perfect game. But as budgets swell, stockholders throw tantrums, and release dates draw near, there's a whole myriad of snafus can explode in the face of well meaning folks. Plenty of games spit in the eye of gamers’ expectations and miscarry at retailers every year - that’s not special. These games are the great white whales that tanked so hard they dragged entire companies down with them. ...

Lego Star Wars (LEGO Star Wars)

6/09/2004

To begin, a line of Lego trivia. The word Lego comes from the Danish 'Leg Godt', meaning to play well. That is the Lego philosophy - playing well - and that confident quality oozes from almost everything the Danish manufacturer has branded since its inception. To continue, a cheap shot. Lego videogames have not (traditionally) played well. Star Wars games, too, have forged an unenviable reputation recently, apart from a certain RPG. So, from an Edge reader's point of view at least, Lego Star ...

Sims of sims: 10 ways to escape from escapism (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

29/01/2009

Back in the day we got our thrills by physically pretending to do things we couldn’t actually do. We drove go-karts to simulate NASCAR racing and bashed our LEGOs into each other while saying “PEW PEW PEW!” because we didn’t have any TIE fighters on hand. Then videogames came along and were all like, “You wanna blow up some TIE fighters?” ...

The Top 7... New franchises that already feel old (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

8/09/2008

Mario is a cultural phenomenon. Final Fantasy is epic. Resident Evil, Fallout, Diablo... all of these classic franchises will eventually be tossed away, but they won't be stamped with expiration dates anytime in the foreseeable future.

Other franchises started growing mold before they even left the grocery store shelves.

The somehow-less-inspired franchises may sell millions, contain lovable ...

Gaming's greatest Fatties (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

22/02/2008

Just in time for Black History Month, GamesRadar is proud to present a completely unrelated article about fat people. Chubbies are everywhere these days. Your next door neighbor could be a fatty. More than likely, your mom is one, too. Oh, Snap! ...

LEGO Star Wars II - Best Characters (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

17/05/2007

You can fly through LEGO Star Wars II without even noticing most of the characters. But for the completists among you all, here's our guide to the rarest characters you can find in that galaxy, far, far ...

GamesRadar's potentially annual Platinum Chalice awards 2006 (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy)

22/12/2006

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 ...

The Top 7... Girl-on-girl kisses (Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude)

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 ...

Busted Cheats: Week 1 (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King)

29/05/2008

Here at CheatPlanet we're always trying to sort through the cheat submissions to find the tiny nuggets of helpful information hidden among the hundreds of moronic submissions we receive each day. It's a thankless job, one that we keep working on only because of our love of cheats and the happiness we feel when looking into a child's smiling face after he or she unlocks the second set of weapons in GTA IV (Call GUN-555-0100) and ...

We predict Lost (Lost: Via Domus)

23/02/2007

Theres going to be a game of Lost. You know it. We know it. Quite what that game will involve, though, is a mystery of far more, well, Lost proportions. A chronic lack of any real information may have hampered things up until now, but this year coders Ubisoft and Lost money-men, channel ABC, are going to be a lot more forthcoming on the info front, you mark our ...
