GamesRadar is a multi-format video game website featuring previews, reviews, features, videos, cheats, forums and breaking news. It was also formerly known as "CheatPlanet.com". It is owned and operated simultaneously in the UK and US by Future Publishing (which includes Future US), a worldwide publisher of enthusiast and lifestyle websites and magazines. GamesRadar receives approximately 3.25 million unique visitors per month[1], and also includes CheatPlanet, which was acquired by Future in 2005 [2].
GamesRadar is largely known for its unconventional, and occasionally deemed offensive[3] features.
On September 11, 2007, Gamesradar launched a downloads feature called Fileradar. Fileradar allows users to download mods, hacks and content for games on the PC.
On February 7, 2008, Gamesradar got a complete site makeover, currently it is BETA and users are free to submit their ideas or opinions on the new look. The PC section of GamesRadar is organized by the gaming magazine PC Gamer. PC Gamer's official U.S. website, PC Gamer Online, now redirects to GamesRadar.
