Fallout 3 vs. Reality: Photo Comparison (Fallout 3)

Dec 4, 2008

In making Fallout 3, Bethesda recreated Washington D.C. and the surrounding area surprisingly accurately (though distances were significantly shrunk). The resemblance was too strong for some - certain D.C. residents were miffed about Fallout 3 subway ads which depicted their city in ruins, claiming they didn't need to be reminded that D.C. is a prime target for terrorist attacks. Apparently no one told them that D.C. is destroyed in nearly every hypothetical war/alien invasion. ...

WWE Divas MISSbehaving! (WWE SmackDown! vs Raw 2009)

Dec 4, 2008

Here at GamesRadar, very few of us are WWE connoisseurs (right now features editor Shane Patterson holds that title and no one challenges it). But what we do specialize in is finding a great pair of tits and girl-on-girl action in your video games. The articles we write? Oh, that's just stuff we do on the side. ...

Gears of War 2's unanswered questions (Gears of War 2)

Dec 2, 2008

Action. Horror. Comedy. Love. Tragedy. The Gears of War 2 story had almost everything. The only element missing? Closure. The sequel ends with far more questions than answers and, by the time the final credits roll, you are left with far more confusion than comprehension. What the hell has happened to the world of Sera, and what will happen next? ...

Dec 2, 2008

Most Xbox 360 Achievement points are for sensible things - completing levels, mastering moves, defeating tough bosses, that sort of thing. But sometimes - sometimes - they're just silly. Here's a collection of 50 of the oddest, weirdest and downright dumbest Achievements a gamer can get.

The Top 7... Games you won’t get to until 2009 (Mirror's Edge)

Dec 1, 2008

Another holiday shopping season is here, bringing with it the grim realization that, once again, the game industry has failed to learn its damn lesson. Just like every other year, seemingly every game publisher on the planet has decided to shove its biggest releases onto store shelves for the holidays, confident that they won’t be buried under the avalanche of every other publisher doing the exact same thing. ...

Is MK vs DCU a porno... (Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe)

Dec 1, 2008

You know that game you play with the fortune cookies when you’re out for Chinese and need a sexual tension breaker? The one where you append “…in bed!” to the end of everyone’s fortune? That’s more or less how this video got started. ...

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix: All the HD endings! (Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - Xbox Live Arcade)

101 things we've learned from videogames (Xbox 360)

Nov 28, 2008

1. It’s OK to kill people.

2. Dying doesn’t really matter much either.

3. If you’re 14, have hair covering your eyes and live in a small village, man up, because you’re going to have to save the world.

4. Medicine became obsolete in the year 2004, when doctors noticed that hiding behind a wall caused human health to regenerate to 100%. ...

TalkRadar 29 – all about LucasArts (Gun)

Nov 27, 2008

This week we discuss Rogue Leaders, a tell-all book about LucasArts, written by PlayStation Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief Rob Smith... who patiently sits through our ramblings long enough to plug his massive tome. If you’ve ever wanted to know all kinds of trivial nonsense about Star Wars, Maniac Mansion or a planet called Fractalus, this is your podcast. ...

GamesRadar's Thanksgiving Thanks-travaganza (Xbox 360)

Nov 27, 2008

At the GR towers, we have a considerable amount to be grateful for. Not including the usual family/friends bull, we ve decided to share with you the aspects of gaming that we are most thankful for. Read on for reflections of our humanity! ...

Comic/fighting-game mashups that need to happen (Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe)

Nov 26, 2008

It’s been eight long years since Marvel vs Capcom 2 hurled random fistfuls of comic-book and videogame characters at each other and made them fight, and since then there’s been alarmingly little cross-pollination between the two media. That suddenly changed this year, with the release of Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe and the Japan-only unveiling of Tatsunoko VS Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. ...

GamesRadar's 100% game-free gamer gift guide (Xbox 360)

Nov 26, 2008

Hardcore gamers are a nightmare to shop for during the holidays. We’re as biased and finicky as a political columnist with OCD and we have the patience of a man on fire. Thus, any time you buy us a video game, you’ve got a 90% chance that we either aggressively dislike it or already bought it, beat it, and are currently blogging about how we’d make the sequel sooo much better. ...

Your 2008 Black Friday deals (Xbox 360)

Nov 26, 2008

Black Friday is probably the best holiday of the year. If you’re like us, you’re scoping out sweet deals for yourselves (or if you’re a good person, for your brethren). It’s almost a point of pride waiting in line at 4am just so you can snatch up cheap DVDs, games and other assorted electronics from your favorite retailer (extra points for wrestling something away from an older person). ...

Celebrity Xbox Avatars (Xbox 360)

Nov 25, 2008

By now, you’ve been assimilated into the “New Xbox Experience" - avatar and all. But instead of building a half-assed copy of yourself, why not build a half-assed copy of your favorite celebrity? Why bore everyone with Bearded Sunglasses Dude #57 when you can terrify everyone with a Frankenstein version of Mario, Lara Croft, Chuck Norris or Sarah Palin? Choose from 20 famous and fictional alter egos inside! ...

The Top 7… Native American stereotypes (Turok)

Nov 24, 2008

People get pissy when stuff they consider holy is depicted profanely in videogames. Take Manchester Cathedral’s depiction in Resistance or lyrics cribbed from the Quran in LittleBigPlanet. Gamers react with their usual jaded cynicism, belittling others for daring to hold something sacred in this fast-forward age of materialistic gluttony. ...

Games that would be awesome in first-person (Resident Evil 5)

Nov 24, 2008

We’ve been playing a lot of Mirror’s Edge recently. And, aside from the engrossing, minimalist future setting, thoughtful platforming and the joy of movement that’s been engrained into every pixel of DICE’s title, it’s the viewpoint that really gives the game legs. It’s basically POP, only inside the prince’s head instead of behind his back. And that got us to thinking about what other games would be ...

TalkRadar 28 – givin' away games! (Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe)

Nov 21, 2008

Gears of War 2’s best and worst moments (Gears of War 2)

Nov 21, 2008
