With a misuse of facial sliders and a careful application of wholesale moral deficiency, I’ve created a roster of the ugliest fighters to ever stumble into an Octagon. It’s a case of either cranking everything up to 11 or reverse-cranking it down to -1 and then marvelling/recoiling at whatever monstrosity …

Everything’s changed in the seven years since Shadow Complex first hit Xbox 360. Metroidvania games, once an endangered species, are now plentiful.

You want justice? Here, build your own Justice! *flings bricks at you* There’s a lot of Batman v Superman (opens in new tab) tie-ins. Forget the plastic cups, lunchboxes, figures, and err… ice cream (yes, really (opens in new tab)), some of the coolest merchandise tied to the flick is …

Now, in 2016, all those same righteous descriptors apply to Stories: The Path of Destinies, a PS4 and PC …

With our old Guardian bones weary of raids on the moon, we’re ready for a change. We’re ready for a city that, despite being ravaged by an apocalyptic viral outbreak, still never sleeps. We’re ready to dig into The Division. Join the GamesRadar crew for a tour of the game’s …

Words, you say? Those pesky numbered pages? Yes, those. While games are wondrous story-fuel to spark our imaginations, you can’t get better than a good book to scratch those narrative itches. Here’s a collection of texts to follow your favourite games when you fancy getting a little more analogue. And …

The last time GR+ Live played a Quantic Dream game, we felt things. We felt them all over the place. We felt things so hard that we ruined the worst high school party of all time. Now we’re ready to feel things all over again with a live session of …
