Top 10 Entries on Top 10 Lists

Xbox Feature | Halo

If you’ve been reading gaming lists - magazine, internet or bar napkin - for as long as we have, then you’ve probably noticed a number of inclusions that seem to always make it. It’s like you can’t have a “Defining Moments”, “Worst whatever” or “Underrepresented blah” list without mentioning what every reader assumes will be the top pick. ... » Read More

The Top 7... games we want announced at E3

Xbox Feature | Halo

It's everyone's favorite time of the year again, when thousands of overcaffeinated journalists descend upon E3 with their live-blogged, 2000-word diatribes on the most minor of details. The objects of their unending speculation? The biggest games of the show, which, oddly enough, have been known to the gaming press for months and will surprise literally no one. That's why we're interested in games that haven't been seen, announced or ... » Read More

20 Most Rabidly Patriotic Games

Xbox Feature | Halo

To celebrate Independence Day (the holiday, not the movie), we’ve scoured our encyclopedic minds for the most patriotic games to be developed. But that wasn’t funny enough. So, we dug deeper to find the most rabidly patriotic games every developed. Ya know - the ones with so much love for Old Glory that it starts to get a little ridiculous. Behold - our results!America's ArmyUS Army | 2002Any game can add the word ... » Read More

Further Reading

Xbox Feature | Halo

The links between novels and gaming are stronger than you think. Successful franchises spawn tie-in books dealing with the further adventures of Lara Croft or generic videogame action heroes, but often a respected author’s words can find themselves directly or indirectly rendered in gaming. Take Cormac McCarthy’s The Road for example, a post-apocalyptic journey through a near-future American wasteland that’s become required ... » Read More

The Top 7... Worst Parts of Best Games

Xbox Feature | Halo

Nothing's perfect. Stare closely enough at anything - even a masterpiece - and you're bound to find flaws sooner or later. They might be small. They might be insignificant. They might not detract from the overall quality of the piece at all... Except when they really, really do. With these seven games, in fact, you don't need to stare. Their flaws are so huge, so obvious, so frustrating and so effing obnoxious that you can't help but ... » Read More

Sexy Fan Art: Cortana Edition

Xbox Feature | Halo

Why do we love Cortana? After all, she's no more than an intangible chunk of computer software, a particularly well programmed series of 1s and 0s. You can't touch her. You can't look at her without seeing right through her. Even to the fictional characters within the fictional universe of Halo, she is utterly unattainable. And that is precisely what drives our overactive imaginations wild. She is the ultimate dream girl. Sassy, spunky, sexy... but beyond our reach in every possible way. ... » Read More

Our boring masked heroes

Xbox Feature | Halo

See if you can guess what game we’re talking about: in the war-torn near future, a supersolider - outfitted in skin-tight armor - wages battle against legions of aliens/other supersoldiers. To protect his scar-ridden face, he dons a nondescript, yet sleek helmet, thereby rendering him mute and indistinguishable from everything else on sale. Give up? It’s a trick question.You might remember our feature on the ... » Read More

TalkRadar HQ

Xbox Feature | Halo

Every week TalkRadar brings you unbiased, unfiltered news on every topic that means a damn to gamers. It's loud, rude and occasionally inappropriate, but it is never boring. That's why it's one of the fastest-growing videogame 'casts out there. Hit us in the forums or on iTunes, we want to make TalkRadar as entertaining and interactive as possible. It also ain't for the young'uns, so the under-18 crowd should take a hike - unless your parents are super-cool gamer types who know you'll hear the word "shit" on other podcasts, YouTube, HBO and South Park. ... » Read More

50 Reasons you're a crappy customer

Xbox Feature | Halo

Not too long ago GR threw a big ol' pillow fight we called The Week of Hate. We got a lot of crap off our chest, and the internet rejoiced in the only way it knows how: with an amusingly disproportionate amount of resentment. And that’s beautiful! We’re all about venting here. It’s extremely therapeutic. So, when the employees of an actual Minnesota game store sent us a list of the 50 things they hate about their customers, we couldn’t help but chuckle in agreement. Our office contains more than a few veterans of retail, and we can confirm that many of you stroll into your local GameStop completely unaware of how much of an ass you are. Consumers: The time has come to educate yourself! Because for most of you, it’s not a question of which number below represents you - it’s how many. ... » Read More

59 levels to play before you die: G - L

Xbox Feature | Halo

Legions of exasperated gamers whined that Kratos' escape from the bowels of Hell - complete with rotating columns of bladey cartilage, platforms of bone and two huge towers of spinning blades - was 'stupid', 'cheap' or 'toohardIwantmymummy!' but we loved it. ... » Read More

HaloRadar: Machinima Academy Awards

Xbox Feature | Halo

Watching one Master Chief kiss another Master Chief is funny as hell. So are two SPARTANs arguing over the morality of teabagging, or an Elite ordering food at the drive-thru. A skilled machinima director can make you laugh, cry, feel fear... completely within the confines of the game's environment. We announce our favorite Halo 3 filmmakers and give you a sampling of their work. The envelopes, please! ... » Read More

HaloRadar: Master Chief Mutations

Xbox Feature | Halo

In games, he's always been the same. Strong. Silent. Steadfast. But in the wild, wild world of unofficial and unregulated fandom, Halo 3's champion is free to be whatever the hell he wants to be. Or, at least, whatever the hell YOU want him to be. Here are 14 of his most surprising and strangest transformations. ... » Read More

HaloRadar: Gears of War vs. Halo

Xbox Feature | Halo

The Halo and Gears of War series are both incredible, but in a world of internet trolls and blind fanboy allegiance, only one can be crowned. So, in an effort to declare a final victor - or at least ignite a flame war - GamesRadar Editors Charlie Barratt and Chris Antista put aside all professional objectivity and fair minded rationality for a bloody (and juvenile) battle royale. ... » Read More

HaloRadar: Silliest Fan Art

Xbox Feature | Halo

Some people's love of Halo is simple. They play the game. Other people's love of Halo, however, goes way beyond simple. It's mad. It's bizarre. It's creative. It's inspired. It's totally unique and completely unexpected. To these superfans, Master Chief can appear anywhere. Everywhere. All they have to do is imagine it... and then build it. Here are their weird, wacky and wonderful creations. ... » Read More

HaloRadar: The Halo Suicides

Xbox Feature | Halo

For more of our weekly HaloRadar coverage, click here. Judging by your submissions, most of you share our current obsession with Halo suicides. There's just something about Master Chief's expressionless ragdolling that turns us into giggling school girls. We can't explain why, but our therapists assure us that reveling in the grisly demise of the iconic uber-patriot "doesn't make you a bad person." Good to know, given the "epic lulz" all your videos generated around our office. And we want ... » Read More

HaloRadar: Fans Gone Wild

Xbox Feature | Halo

For more of our weekly HaloRadar coverage, click here. Drugs. Gambling. Pornography. Halo. Addiction can take many forms. How do you spot the warning signs? Medical experts that we read about somewhere on the internet tell us harmful overdependence could affect over 23 million people in this country alone, with fewer than 10 percent going untreated. And while the junkies and perverts can always go to Dr. Phil or Dr. Drew for help, those with an unnatural compulsion for Master Chief have ... » Read More

HaloRadar: Gift Guide

Xbox Feature | Halo

Our complete collection of HaloRadar coverage is right here. For true Halo fans, the games are only the beginning. Master Chief's universe extends well beyond the realm of consoles and controllers, after all, into areas both surprising and bizarre. He's in books, toys, art, comics, clothing, kitschy gadgets, even soda. Some of this stuff, of course, is useless junk; quite a bit, however, is incredibly neat and worthy of both your attention and your cash. We've scoured the internet, we've ... » Read More

Xbox Live turns five

Xbox Feature | Halo

14th Nov 2007 Can you believe how much our little boy has grown? The years have just flown by. It seems just yesterday that Xbox Live was taking its fledgling stumbles into the online console gaming world, but half a decade of additions and refinemenents later, Microsofts community has grown into a nigh-legendary and highly influential modern institution of videogaming. Theres no doubt that cake, lemonade and spurious vomiting are to be had later, but for now Microsoft is doing a few other ... » Read More

Halo's Filthiest Trash Talk

Xbox Feature | Halo

Oct 30, 2007 Game experience may change during online play. This innocuous disclaimer accompanies every game with Xbox Live connectivity, but what it actually means is that you're about to be subjected to a barrage of bigotry so profoundly offensive that it will shake your faith in humanity to the very core. During some recent Halo sessions, we encountered loads of vile, bilious ranting that seemed to know no restraint. Rather than using the mute button, we hit record and captured these ... » Read More

The history of Halo

Xbox Feature | Halo

Oct 8, 2007 For more Halo coverage, click here. With a team of hundreds working on it, a marketing budget of millions and a fanbase as fanatical, informed and excitable as anything the best TV shows like Lost can throw up, Halo is perhaps - in fact, definitely - the most important videogame franchise currently in existence. But it hasn't always been this way. Although commencing later than the usual bedroom development story, Bungie's rags-to-riches tale does follow similar lines, kicking ... » Read More
