Joe Dodson and Kristin Reilly join the Mobcast this week, resulting in yet another mini-Gamespot reunion for fans of the good old days. The first topic of the week asks the crew what they’d consider some of their greatest gaming achievements. Greg Ford chimes in with a common, yet notorious one of completing the Facility level of Goldeneye within a strict time limit.
Mature topics in games have been well tread by both the press and gaming community but the Mobcast has a few interesting points to add to the discussion. The topic of strategy guides comes up next, which leads to the general conclusion that guides may be more compelling at a younger age, when you want to squeeze every last ounce of a game’s enjoyment.
The community topic is a controversial one, asking if faith and personal beliefs ever stop the guys from picking up a game, for instance Dante’s Inferno and it’s liberal interpretation of the Bible. Aaron managed to interview the principal of a local Catholic school, resulting in a fairly interesting and level-headed response that adds some outside perspective to the situation.
Bitmob’s Aaron Thomas and Greg Ford are joined by Atomic Gamer’s Joe Dodson and former GameSpotter, Kristin Reilly, on this week’s Mobcast.
The group hit on a number of topics, including: the days before achievements, sex and romance in games, their thoughts on strategy guides, gaming and religion, and their favorite game soundtracks of all time.
