A lot of people seem to have a problem with Arthur. You can see this for yourself on the post for last week’s episode on the eat. sleep. game. website. People are claiming that it is not due to him not being from 1UP, but because of his abrasive attitude. Looking back, when Luke Smith started on 1UP Yours there was not this kind of backlash, and his style was similar, so it seems that both of these things are playing a role. He is more reserved this week so maybe that will help calm people down.
With John Davison from What They Play and Patrick Klepek from MTV Multiplayer on this week there is some interesting talk about more mainstream games. It’s nice to get a wider perspective on things when what we usually get is very hardcore discussions. I think most that would traditionally consider themselves a hardcore gamer would have to admit to playing casual games much more frequently than ever before.
This week we’re joined by WhatTheyPlay’s John Davison and MTV Multiplayer’s Patrick Klepek, to give impressions of Halo Wars, Killzone 2, Fallout 3 DLC, and more, discuss the casual/hardcore gamer divide, and answer a few letters in which what is yours is replaced with prizes.
