CO-OP – Episode 303: Halloween

by Jonathan Downin in Games827 days ago

iPhone games are up first this week with a focus on the rhythm genre. The iPhone has always been a good platform for this type of game, and with the recent release of Rock Band, it is only getting better. In addition to Rock Band, Jason and Matt discuss Guitar Rock 2 and the Tap Tap Revenge series. Jay and Ryan are talking about Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time and Ryan found himself having a good time after getting past the slow-burn opening. While the tone is positive overall, the consensus is that Insomniac needs to do something new with...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 137: Donames

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies827 days ago

Gentlemen Broncos is first up in movies this week. This comes from Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess, and he seem to deliver some more quirky characters here. Jeff thoroughly enjoyed the film, but Dan found it to be somewhat disappointing. One thing everyone can agree on is that Jemaine Clement, of Flight of the Conchords fame, delivers an unforgettable performance. There are a lot of games covered this week. Things start out with footage shot during a New Super Mario Bros.Wii event where the guys seemed to be enjoying the game. Forza 3 gets...

Mobcast Episode 27

by Jon Cole in Games828 days ago

This week’s Mobcast takes the idea of a themed show from last week’s cast and continues it with the role-playing game genre.  Jason Wilson brings three industry figures to the table: Aram Jabbari, Chris Avellone, and Brenda Brathwaite. The discussion starts with a focus on what essentially sets Western and Eastern RPGs apart.  Since Aram works at Atlus, he brings up how some aspects of communication simply can’t be conserved in the localization process of some Japanese games. Brenda talks about the role of death in RPGs and the transition...

Player One Podcast: Episode 158 – Castro the Friendly Ghost

by Jonathan Downin in Games828 days ago

First 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...

CastMedium Podcast 010 – 11.02.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech828 days ago

10 episodes in and still going strong. 1UP podcast news starts the cast off again this week with the at1UP interview with David Ellis about his new 4 Guys 1UP podcast, and the new RPG-centric Active Time Babble from Kat Baily and Jeremy Parish. There were a lot of happenings in games over the past week, and Jon kicks things off with his Torchlight experience, and Jeff Gerstmann level addiction to Borderlands. Erik gives the thumbs-up to GTAIV: The Ballad of Gay Tony, and we are all baffled by the disc-required Netflix PS3 announcement. Demon’s...
