Game characters that deserved to die

360 Feature | Halo 3: ODST

Death and video games go together like a big heart attack-baiting burger and an extra five slices of cheddar. But just because they’re the best of mates, it doesn’t mean certain characters should go looking for the Grim Reaper through their own reckless actions. Sadly, that’s exactly want the following group of death-wishers all do. And whether it’s through their own stupidity, being huge wimps or just dying in embarrassing fashion, these guys ... » Read More

10 game ads that are horribly up their own ass

360 Feature | Halo 3: ODST

Most game ads are usually a bit rubbish. But we can forgive them, because whether pushing Z listers ‘enjoying’ entertaining interactive products or offending our ears with a cheesy, booming voiceover, most of them are just charmingly clueless. The following ads are guilty of a much worse crime, though. They all utterly adore themselves. Self-indulgent, self-loving bullshit, below you’ll find cynical commercials that have ... » Read More

The Top 7... things ODST does better than Halo 3

360 Feature | Halo 3: ODST

ODST is more than an expansion. ODST is an experimentation. Sure, this year’s Halo game could be seen as something of a placeholder, a small side adventure to keep fans occupied until next year’s Reach. The graphics are nearly the same as those in Halo 3. So are the enemies, weapons and vehicles. The gameplay feels as familiar as ever. Not in every way, though... ... » Read More

Yes, these things were weird, and yes, they were ubiquitous in 8-,16-, and even 32-bit games. ... » Read More

E3’s gone dark for another year, and as we bid farewell to the rip-roarin’-est show in years we find ourselves buzzing with anticipation.
