Rebel FM PAX Back to School Special!

by Jonathan Downin in GamesSeptember 9th, 2009 @ 12:43 am

Rebel FMThe is the most game-focused PAX podcast yet with the guys going in-depth on a lot of games which they saw at the show.  The first half was recorded in the hotel room in Seattle , with the second part recorded in the car on their way back to San Francisco.

Although there wasn’t to much in regards to announcements at PAX, there were a ton of games that everyone could get their hands on, queues permitting.  Left 4 Dead 2 seems to have shirked off its L4D 1.5 impression with the new environments and infected types bringing a lot to the game.  The guys also got some time with a few smaller games including Shank, DeathSpank and The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom.  Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption, while early, is also showing a lot of promise with praise for its crafted characters and setting.

The Rebel FM meetup sounds like it was a lot of fun and the guys also discuss some of the panels that they attended.  The GFW Radio Brodeo Reunion seems like it was the highlight.  Ryan Scott will be posting the audio of the panel sometime tomorrow and we will be sure to post it here as well.

Covered games  and topics: L4D2, new Behemoth game, Shank, DeathSpank, Halo ODST, Mass Effect 2, PB Winterbottom, Red Dead Redemption, Split Second, NFS: Shift, EyePet, PAX trip, Rebel FM meetup, Brodeo reunion

As we dragged our semi-swine flu’ed carcasses back across the California border, we finished recording a special little podcast just for you! In the first section (recorded from the comfort of our hotel room) we discuss the games we saw at PAX both hands-on and from afar and our thoughts about them, including Mass Effect 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Shank, Death Spank, L4D2, and a lot more. Then, as recorded in a piece of metal hurtling down Interstate 5, we talk about our human experiences at PAX, including our thrilling, truck stop drama on the way up to Seattle. We apologize for the sound quality in the second segment, since, you know, recorded in a moving vehicle, but, well, you don’t HAVE to listen, do you? Mobile penis!
