Video games rock, but some of us don’t have time to commit hours of our life to playing them thoroughly enough to learn all of the ins and outs, especially with so many to choose from. That’s where the new GamesRadar app comes in, providing you with cheats, guides and walkthroughs for all of your favorites.
On Wednesday, Future US, Inc. (full disclosure: MacLife is a Future US publication!) released their latest iOS app, GamesRadar. As many gamers already know, GamesRadar is a popular website devoted to multi-platform gaming news as well as the ever-popular cheats and guides to help players get the most from their purchases. Now the site has an accompanying iPhone app, and it’s absolutely free to boot.
“For more than five years, GamesRadar editors have worked together with millions of passionate readers to develop the comprehensive strategy guides, mission-by-mission breakdowns, screenshots, walkthroughs and cheats featured in GamesRadar Cheats and Guides,” the app description reads. “This app contains nearly 60,000 listings for over 8,600 unique games; all of which are available for free in the palm of your hand.”
Best of all, the GamesRadar app will be updated automatically as new games hit the market, “bringing you the best cheat and guide content whenever and wherever you need it.”
There are plenty of apps on the App Store to help you cheat at your favorite game, but GamesRadar brings them all together in one place. Users can browse the GamesRadar game index both alphabetically as well as by which type of console you own, or search for your favorite games by title. Save your most played games to your favorites list for quick reference, and even get a screen by screen walkthrough of all of the top games -- all without leaving your sofa (or wherever you happen to be sitting at the time).
GamesRadar is available on the App Store now; the free app is a 3.1MB download compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad (though it’s not a universal app) and requires iOS 3.0 or later.
