To celebrate the (almost) end of The Year of Luigi, we've taken Mario's brother and hidden him a bunch of screenshots from other games. Can you find all 10 Luigis? There's literally no prize for spotting them all!
Life. Health. HP. No matter what you want to call it, all games have some method of letting you know how dead you is, or how dead you ain#8217;t. Or at least they used to? Nowadays, gamers have gotten so used to regenerating this or that, they may#8217;ve forgotten what the hell a health bar even looks like...
The virtual 1% have been called villains, tyrants, madmen, and crime lords. Now it's time to show these unsung heroes some long overdue love in our tribute to the Gaming's richest (so-called) "jerks"...
Time for another look back through the annals of GamesRadar's past. Today's classic feature is 'The Pikmin Suicides', where cute little Pikmin have been reading the work of Andy Riley and decided it's all too much. Warning: Contains scenes of considerable peril.
If it can be dismantled, painted and poked with a soldering iron, you can guarantee somebody will try to modify it. From simple cosmetic changes to elaborate electronics projects, hackers have shown their appreciation for Nintendo#8217;s affordable hardware by butchering it in a staggering variety of creative ways...
Anyone who grew up with videogames has had their world shaped by the experience of playing. This is mostly a good thing. We appreciate CoD 4, Grand Theft Auto IV or Braid trying to say something about the human condition. BUT it#8217;s also a good thing those games are fun, because the message is often completely impractical. What exactly are the messages these games are conveying? #8220;War is Hell (but also awesome fun)"? #8220;Urban America sucks"? #8220;Don't build a nuclear bomb"? No argument here, but that knowledge doesn#8217;t really integrate easily into the average gamer#8217;s everyday life.
No, if you want simple, universally-applicable life lessons from videogaming, you need to go to an older, wiser, chirpier-music-having source... or better yet, 18 of them. Drag out the cartridge-loaded boxes and two-button joypads: It's time for some words of wisdom from your elders...
Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii U is currently in development, and we've updated our roster with additional
picks from the comments. Get ready to see some familiar faces and some that might suprise you as we delve through the first, second, and third party characters we (and you) think need to make the cast of Wii U's Smash Bros game...
Remember playing edutainment games in the computer lab at your elementary school? It was better than lunch, better than physical education, and more fun than recess. Apple II’s loaded with educational software disguised as entertainment: these are what defined our formative years. We didn’t realize it at the time, but it was these simple titles that made us into the gamers and lovers of new tech that we are today. That’s why we’re taking a time out to take a trip down memory lane to take closer look at the most memorable edutainment games of all time...
Everyone has to start out at the bottom of the food chain at work. That's why they call it#160; the career ladder. You grab onto the bottom rung, and then spend years working your way up. And superstar game developers are no exception.
They might be household names now, and sell games in Hollywood-embarrassing numbers, but every big designer had to start off somewhere a lot less glamourous. So we've had a poke around and dug out the earliest games by the modern industry's brightest and best. What did David Jaffe do before God of War? You might be very surprised.
Criminals aren#8217;t the most respected members of society in real life, but they can make for some fantastic videogame characters. Perhaps it's because the game industry is clearly trying to turn our nation's children into a breed of hyperviolent superthugs, just like all the know-it-alls who don#8217;t actually know much of anything keep saying. At any rate, we've chosen our favorite prisoners from gaming history, so read on for our glorification of digital lawbreakers and give them the credit they deserve. If you don#8217;t, they#8217;ll just steal it anyway...
