Player One Podcast: Episode 158 – Castro the Friendly Ghost

6:10 pm
November 2nd, 2009

Player One PodcastFirst up is some sad news about a recent loss within the gaming community. Once the guys move on to game talk, Modern Warfare starts the conversation in relation to violence in games. We will all have to wait and see how Infinity Ward handles this in the game before making final judgments, but the guys offer some good, insightful discussion here.

The DSi XL gets a fairly cool reaction here, much as it has everywhere else. The bottom line is, this is not for us. After a long absence, the Game Club segment makes a return with the Halloween inspired voice of Luigi’s Haunted Mansion. The Player One crew have always been nostalgic gamers, and that shines through here.

Uncharted 2 is still finding its way into the conversation, and it has come down to complaints about various issues in the game. Ratchet and Clank gets some love here, as does DJ Hero as the show winds down.

Covered games and topics: Modern Warfare 2, DSi XL, Luigi’s Haunted Mansion, Tekken 6, Loco Roco Midnight Carnival, Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4, Uncharted 2, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, DJ Hero, GTA IV: Ballad of Gay Tony

This week! A packed show! We’ve got Modern Warfare 2 leaked footage (if you’re trying to remain a MW2 virgin it’s between 12:45-29:35), Nintendo’s DSi LL/XL announcement, a Game Club segment on Luigi’s Mansion for GameCube, then we launch into the games of the week before playing through the finalists in our theme song contest. Games discussed in this episode include Tekken 6, Loco Roco Midnight Carnival, Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4, Uncharted 2, Ratchet & Clank A Crack in Time, DJ Hero, GTA IV: Lost and Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony and more!

    I’ve been trying to avoid all MW2 coverage as I would like to go into the game as fresh as possible and I really wish they hadn’t dropped that big spoiler right before announcing that they were gonna get into spoilers. argh

    Maybe I’m just a total tech nerd, but the DSi XL really… attracts me, for some strange reason. I wish they had released it concurrently with the original DSi, because I might have considered buying it.

    My reason? I do almost all of my handheld gaming at home and a big screen can’t hurt. I’m disappointed in how my DSi is still not really that portable, since it can’t really even fit in my pocket in a comfortable way.
