Disabled but deadly: Gaming’s physically challenged killers (Feature)

Aug 11, 2009

In a medium full of perfect teeth, washboard stomachs and breasts that have their own gravitational pull, it’s rare to see characters with disabilities. But they do exist… and they’ve done some badass things. Be it killing gods, eating hardened soldiers or even creating the Nintendo universe; being physically challenged never got in the way of this bunch’s fun.

12 videogame stories that jumped the shark (Feature)

Aug 7, 2009

There is no better way to end GamesRadar’s Shark Week than by preying upon sharkdom’s oldest and greatest catchphrase, “Jumping the Shark.” Popularized by the literal jumping of a shark in a 1977 episode of Happy Days, the colloquialism is now used to describe something veering into absurdity or lesser quality. ...

Bionic Commando (Review)

May 19, 2009

Confession time: We had long expected Capcom and Swedish developer GRIN’s pact to resurrect the 22-year old Bionic Commando series to be a bad idea. Surely it would only serve to infect rose-tinted memories of yesteryear with some seriously bad juju. For one thing its overly macho style and dank color palette is more Gears of Yawn than retro chic ...

Bionic Commando - Middle manager (Video)

May 19, 2009

A third-person action game built around the idea that you have a super-strong zipline for an arm. When it works, you’re Spider-man and the Hulk all mixed together. When it doesn’t, you’re a drugged gorilla on a chain.

May 12, 2009

It seems like just yesterday we were playing Bionic Commando on our NES. But it was actually last week, because we at the GR offices love us some Bionic Commando, whether we’re playing with an expensive prop or beating other gaming journalists for a kick-ass lunch box.

And it seems even yesterdaier that the next-gen return of BC was announced. But the much anticipated title is just days away. ...

Bionic arm charms, destroys major city (Feature)

Dec 19, 2008

During the extremely scaled-down E3 2008, Capcom paraded around an amazing mechanical arm from the upcoming Bionic Commando game, currently due in February. We begged, we pleaded, and finally the kind folks at Capcom dared to let us borrow this surprisingly functional, eyeball-arresting prop. First thing we did? Take out into San Francisco for a little test walk. ...

Bionic Commando – how's the multiplayer? (Feature)

Dec 19, 2008

A few months ago we reported on the state of Bionic Commando’s arm-swingin’ multiplayer modes, and our verdict was extremely mixed. Weak level design, overpowered weapons and a slightly confusing button configuration kept us from enjoying the otherwise brilliant sensation of flying through the air with nothing but a giant mechanical arm to save us. ...

Bionic Commando multiplayer - creative vs crappy (Feature)

Aug 21, 2008

After spending several hours with the solo version of Bionic Commando we're confident it'll end up alright. Maybe not a senses-shattering mind-asplosion like Resident Evil 4, but a good time nonetheless. The swing mechanic, obviously the most important part of the game, feels tight, and with that functioning properly the rest just needs to fall into place. ...

Bionic Commando limited to 10 players online (News)

Jul 24, 2008

DarkZero: In an interview with TeamXbox, GRIN, the developers of the upcoming 3D remake of Bionic Commando has commented they will not be offering a player packed online multiplayer in the game, and instead the title will have a limited but (hopefully) stable multiplayer that offers play for up to 10 players at a time.

Bionic Commando - hands-on (Preview)

Jun 3, 2008

It's impossible to watch the robot-armed Nathan Spencer swing from crippled building to dangling highway overpass without immediately comparing his journey to Spider-Man's acrobatic stylings. Problem is, that's not a fair comparison; Spidey's all grace, agile and swift as he cartwheels between buildings without a care, whereas Nathan's bionic appendage weighs him down considerably, making each moment you spend at the apex of a swing both liberating and frightening. ...

Capcom's Captivate 08 coverage (Preview)

The embargos have lifted and now we're able to say what we saw, what we played and what totally stole the show (it surprised the hell out of us, that's for sure). We'll be adding links throughout the day, so read on! ...

New Bionic Commando screens, gameplay trailer (News)

A new gameplay trailer from Capcom's reinvention of Bionic Commando is available to view in our equally bionic video player: Accompanying the trailer are three new screenshots which all look as lovely as this one. In addition to the next-gen title, there's also a PlayStation Network/Xbox Live Arcade release of the classic game called Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Be sure to check it out along with our preview of the ...

Bionic Commando - first look (Preview)

Feb 21, 2008

It's taken 20 years, but the beloved NES classic Bionic Commando is finally getting a real sequel. Whether it'll live up to the expectations that nostalgic gamers have for it is anyone's guess, but this week's Game Developer's Conference gave us a chance to see it up close. At first glance, it looks a lot like every other prettied-up, current-gen, third-person action game out there, but there's a lot of potential here, and not all of it is in ...

Oct 29, 2007

Oct 29, 2007 Refusing to let the Bionic Commando hype train loose any momentum, Capcom has released another batch of screenshots and videos following the game's reveal earlier this month. In case you missed it (or are under the age of 16), it's the sequel to the original side-scrolling platformer starring a mechanical-armed hero who could navigate around levels with his grappling hook abilities. The West-meets-East follow-up is being handled by new outfit Grin, retaining all of the swinging ...

There's little of the game revealed that we didn't already know, but the new images are still worth a look, since they give you a fuller idea of the world and enemies that you'll be facing ...

Bionic Commando: First look (Preview)

Oct 19, 2007

Oct 19, 2007 Remember the NES Bionic Commando from the '80s? It doesn't matter, in all honesty. This next-gen update might retain the heritage (particularly the bionic arm with helpful wire attachment) and take place 10 years after the original 2D scroller, but it's a whole new game. We were treated to an extended demo of Bionic Commando in action, during a recent Capcom event, and it's looking solid. What we were shown was basically a 'proof of concept', being little more than a small ...

Capcom resurrects Bionic Commando - first screens (News)

Oct 16, 2007

Oct 16, 2007 Capcom is resurrecting classic Bionic Commando in a new game in development for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Check out the first screens here. Bionic Commando first appeared in the late 1980s. The 2D, side-scrolling action-platformer starred a weapon-toting lead character who also happened to sport a bionic arm that acted like a grappling hook which allowed him to navigate around levels. The new title, simply called Bionic Commando, retains the 'grappling hook' gameplay but beefs it ...
