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.

In July 2008 Gamesradar posted an article entitled "The WTF World of Wikipedia," written in a manner similar to Wikigroaning, a game popularized by humor website Something Awful.[4]

One of the site's most popular features is their "Top 7" lists, similar to top 10 lists found on many other sites. 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.

On 14 August 2008 it was announced that the British forums would be closed down and merged with the American side of the site. The userbase was shocked by this development and vowed to create their own forum, in order to keep the membership together and to ensure there could be no changes to the way they interact with each other. This independently run forum was named GRcade. However over the years a number of 'spin off' forums were created by several GamesRadar forum members. These include; Playsona, Poop Gang, Random Fury and Wakinglimb
