Oct 26, 2007 Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games News | Features | Screens | Movies There are two key features that make this a must-watch trailer. First, the opening underwater shots of Princess Peach dolphin-kicking are enough to send Francis the nerdy lizard into an epileptic fit. After these opening seconds, the boredom starts to set in, but don't miss the hilarious overdubbed banter from the players. So realistic, it's like they planted a mic in your living ... » Read More

You're a BASTARD! - The 10 most villainous games...

Xbox News | Xbox

Oct 25, 2007 Ever wanted to be evil? Really evil? Well, then you're mostly out of luck. Videogames are awash with brooding anti-heroes who are gruff and mean but ultimately good, but genuine villains in the lead role are pretty rare. For that matter, the few games with villainous leads tend to defuse them by pitting them exclusively against people who are even worse than they are (Manhunt, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent), or by playing up the whole "evil" angle for laughs (Overlord, Disgaea). Boo to ... » Read More

The Top 7... WTF?! Endings

Xbox News | Xbox

Oct 22, 2007 The hard part's over. You've finished every mission. You've collected every power up. You've beaten every boss. You've saved the world and probably a few princesses to boot. Now all you want is your reward - some long awaited, richly deserved resolution. You won't find it here. No, these seven games have that other kind of ending. The kind that mocks you, disappoints you, angers you and just plain baffles you all at once. The kind that answers nothing but adds a maddening amount ... » Read More

Mass Effect News | Previews | Screens In this interview, Seth Green insightfully points out that Mass Effect is "like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book." His commentary is uncharacteristically drab, more akin to a cliche-slinging PR drone than a comedic genius. Though his games editorial skills may not have been their sharpest the day the interview was conducted, we'd still hire him in a second. And, we're dying to play his hip-hop RPG "Play the Industry," which will certainly be heckled here ... » Read More

Sex sells!

Xbox News | Xbox

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 ... » Read More

That's why most developers feel the awards are the most important in the industry. To whet your ... » Read More

Gaming's greatest badass mo-fos

Xbox News | Xbox

Oct 16, 2007 Ever find yourself rooting for the bad guy? After all, even the best old-lady-helping, cat-saving gameplay would likely get dull if you did nothing else. And so many cultural icons are interesting because they stray from the straight and narrow once in a while. For instance, we'd argue Han SoloLuke Skywalker. Dick Dastardly and MuttleyPenelope Pitstop. Sin City's MarvSpider-Man. And if you ever find yourself cheering on the more interesting characters, you'll be right at home here ... » Read More

Scroll on down to see Dead or Alive's Kasumi and Ayane get it on with Final Fantasy's Yuna and Rikku. We won't spoil the two surprises that follow before the short film's cliff hanger ending.

What this means to you is that Mercs 2 is being pushed to 2008 in order to "make the game better." It has nothing to do with getting out from under Halo 3, right guys? At least they respected us enough to tell us by way of a hilarious video instead of just slipping out a quiet little press ... » Read More

More of the best worst screenshots ever!

Xbox News | Xbox

Oct 12, 2007 Our previous look at some of the dullest screenshots ever to be hoisted upon us by publishers attempting - in the most feeble of manners - to show-off their games produced such an underwhelming response of absolute indifference that we've inexplicably decided to do a sequel. If you missed the first riveting instalment - or simply forgot about it the very instant you turned your eyes away from the monotonous splurge of ditchwater imagery - then you can spoil yourself with its ... » Read More

A new game, a new threat. It may look different, and in some ways it is. But the truth is you've met this foe countless times before. For our enemies may take many forms, but when you look behind the veil, you'll likely see one of the same seven evils of gaming. We unmask them over the following pages - ... » Read More

Does a perfect score mean a perfect game?

Oct 9, 2007 Should a perfect review score be exclusively reserved for perfect games? Can a flawed masterpiece justifiably be given top marks? Is there even any such thing as a perfect game? With BioShock and Halo 3 both recently receiving the highest numerical accolades possible from many critics, we thought we'd head into the treacherous review score mine field to canvas the opinion of some of gaming's most respected magazine editors. So, should a perfect score mean a perfect game? Here's ... » Read More

Official: Bungie and Microsoft split

Xbox News | Xbox

Oct 5, 2007 The rumours were true all along; Microsoft has finally come out and confirmed that Halo dev Bungie is to embark on a path to become an independent company. Microsoft will retain an "equity interest" in Bungie, at the same time continuing its publishing agreement between the now Microsoft-owned Halo IP as well as other future properties developed by Bungie. It sounds like an acceptable compromise for both companies then; Bungie keeps making Xbox 360 games - but not just the ones ... » Read More

GamesRadar investigates semi-naked lady clubs

Xbox News | Xbox

Oct 2, 2007 Let's face it, lady dancing clubs in games are about as erotic as a pair of your granny's skid-marked underbloomers. As hard as developers try, these establishments of the exotic fail to capture any of the, er, sensual artistry that has mesmerised men for hundreds of thousands of probably millions of years. So where are these clubs of virtual mentertainment going wrong? Well, GamesRadar is here to investigate... We've spent, quite literally, a few minutes exploring some of ... » Read More
