Game Scoop is back this week, starting off the conversation with news that Activision has received the publishing rights to Bungie’s next big franchise for ten years. On a similar note, the guys share their opinions of Halo: Reach, with Nate clearly having played the most out of the bunch. He’s not totally sure about many of the new features, like the Sprint ability, but ultimately comes off as optimistic.
Sony’s in a little bit of trouble for taking Linux support out of their PS3′s, under assault from a class-action lawsuit. A black Wii is soon going to zoom into the houses of the typical consumer, collecting dust in a more visible manner with style. Tecmo Bowl Throwback talk closes out most of the games talk, leading into a short interview with Ron Gilbert to talk about Deathspank. The second half of the show is dominated by listener mail, as is standard for Game Scoop!
Covered games and topics: Bungie/Activision deal, Infinity Ward drama, Halo: Reach, PS3 – Linux = rage, black Wii, Tecmo Bowl, Deathspank
Welcome back to Game Scoop!, your weekly dose of gaming news and massive LOLZ. Your shepherds this week will be Daemon Hatfield, Kristine Steimer, Charles Onyett, and Nate Ahearn. This is Nate’s first podcast in the new office, and he’s very excited to be here. Big news of the week: Bungie crawls into bed with Activision. Tecmo Bowl is out on XBLA and PSN. Should you play it, or throw it back? Nate has been playing a bunch of the Halo: Reach beta.
Sony is being sued for removing Linux support from the PS3. Black Wiis may be incoming. The next Call of Duty has been named and dated. Ron Gilbert stops by to give us a spanking. A very generous listener shares a code for the Modnation Racers demo with you, and Greg has a couple DLC codes for Dead to Rights: Retribution. First come, first served. Boots will be knocked: Is this girl using you?
