The Top 7... Deadliest shark attacks (Scarface: The World is Yours)

3/08/2009

In real life, everyone knows sharks are perfectly lovely creatures that hold down good jobs, drive responsibly in hybrid cars, and almost never prey on humans. In popular media, however, they’re vicious aquatic bastards who like nothing better than to sneak up on unsuspecting swimmers and devour them as gruesomely as possible, preferably in front of an audience. ...

Battle of the GTA clones (Scarface: The World is Yours)

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 Sexy, Sexy Ladies of E3 08 (Sexy Ladies)

14/07/2008

Call us crude, but 95% of us here on the GR staff are vital, virile people who really appreciate a beautiful woman when we see one. And if she's paid to smile at us and tolerate us snapping away with our cameras like pirahna devouring a floundering calf, all the better. Luckily, the folks who put together E3 know this as well as anyone, and have already begun surrounding us with photo-worthy subjects. We'll throw a few inline below, and you can ...

Hot Cheerleaders (Sexy Ladies)

29/05/2008

Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff for the DS won’t come packed with any official NFL teams or players, so it seems odd that the San Francisco 49er Gold Rush girls were called in to help kick off the unveiling of the game. But we’re not complaining and neither should you.

Scroll onward for shots of the Girl Rush girls doing their thing. There’s lots of gratuitous gyrating and ample cleavage to help remind you how much you loved ...

The sexy babes of BlizzCon (Sexy Ladies)

6/08/2007

Blizzard's BlizzCon is the place to be if you have any love for the publisher's popular franchises, including World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo. As usual, Blizzard showered their most ardent fans with a flurry of announcements and activities for their amusement with word of a new World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, additional details on the much anticipated StarCraft II, and news about their upcoming film based on the World of Warcraft universe. But besides that, ...

The sexy, sexy ladies of Comic-con (Sexy Ladies)

31/07/2007

San Diego's annual Comic-con is many things: a testament to the enduring appeal of comics, a geekstorm, and a cultural collision of all those things like anime and sci-fi and videogames that used to be niche-y but have found their way into mainstream acceptance. It's also a great place to go and see gorgeous paid spokesmodels in ridiculous, skimpy outfits mingle with less superhuman, garden-variety babes in equally ridiculous, skimpy outfits. So we hit the floor and snapped our shutter at ...

Gaming's would-be innovators (Shenmue 2)

16/09/2009

We recently took issue with the claim that “gaming has not yet had its Citizen Kane”. As you can see, we managed to find 25 games that qualified for that title – and you had plenty more suggestions besides.

We’d have had no trouble whipping up a counter-list of dismal flops. ...

16 Dreamcast imports that should've come overseas (Shenmue 2)

10/09/2009

In the mid-‘90s console scene, everyone knew that importing games from Japan was where the real action was at; because of the prohibitive cost of publishing games in the US, tons of great games stayed in Japan, apparently because they were just too awesome to find audiences outside of its borders. ...

If video game characters were Pokemon (Shenmue 2)

3/07/2009

Ever wondered what it would be like to have video game characters in your Pokemon party? Why choose boring old Bulbasaur when you can choose a beautiful Kasumi? Or a level 50 Sackboy?

We've given 21 game characters the Pokemon treatment, with four moves to choose from and some evolutionary states too.

Who would you choose? ...

12 games you might never play (Shenmue 2)

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. ...

Gaming's freakiest monsters: A biological study (Silent Hill 2)

28/10/2009

Perhaps better than any other creative medium, videogames have managed to recreate entire ecosystems of imaginary creatures and presented them in an observable context. Books and movies may offer detailed glimpses of anatomy and behavior, but only in videogames does the observer interact with organisms and experience behaviors first hand. ...

Behind the scenes of gaming's great soundtracks (Silent Hill 2)

28/01/2009

When he started sharing his idea of an orchestra playing music from videogames, people thought the veteran composer Tommy Tallarico was off his rocker. It took him three years to convince publishers and developers that he was sane. “Imagine me making a call to Taito in Japan, asking them for the rights for the score of [1983 arcade hit] Elevator Action. “I’d like to play the theme tune to the game at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Hello... hello?’” ...
