Weekend Confirmed Episode 11

by Alex Martin in Games617 days ago

Billy Berghammer’s back on Weekend Confirmed, replacing Jeff Cannata for this episode. He’s the first to tell what he’s been playing, and chooses to start with DJ Hero which he picked up on the cheap. He was frustrated by Super Mario Galaxy 2, but appreciates it nonetheless. Finally, he’s been reviewing Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, but can’t say much about it. Garnett, meanwhile, has not been enjoying Backbreaker — a highly flawed football game. He is looking forward to Blacklight: Tango Down, though. It seems...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 7

by Alex Martin in Games645 days ago

Garnett joins his regular co-hosts, Jeff, Brian, and Billy to talk about the games they’ve been playing this week. Microsoft has lifted the Alan Wake embargo, so they start by heaping praise on it while avoiding spoilers. The writing, characterization, and episodic design all sound excellent and the biggest fault they can find with it is the poor facial animation. They’ve also been enjoying Halo Reach and 3D Dot Game Heroes’  old-school appeal, as well as sports games 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and Skate 3. Brian’s...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 6

by Alex Martin in Games652 days ago

The regulars — Garnett, Jeff, Brian, and Billy — have been playing the Halo: Reach beta. They sound excited about the new toys it brings, and don’t seem burnt-out on the nine-year-old series. They’re  not so sure about Tecmo Bowl Throwback though, with Garnett doubtful of the PSN and XBLA game’s value. Monster Hunter Tri gets a brief mention before the four can enthuse about Alan Wake. They’re only allowed to talk about the first “chapter”, but they fervently gush over what they can. Starcraft 2,...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 5

by Alex Martin in Games658 days ago

Before they can confirm your weekend, Garnett, Jeff, Brian, and Billy talk about the games they’ve been playing. Garnett is happy with Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Monster Hunter Tri. Jeff thinks Monster Hunter is antiquated, sluggish, and impenetrable but Brian tells him to go play it co-op. One of the last this week of many podcast crews to talk about Captivate, they have mixed feelings on Dead Rising. They also saw Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Okamiden, and Sengoku Basara. In the Cannata-Afford-a-Game segment, the four give cheap game recommendations....

Weekend Confirmed Episode 4

by Jonathan Downin in Games666 days ago

Weekend Confirmed is only 4 weeks old and we already get a Garnett-less episode since he is in Hawai’i for a Capcom event. Brian takes the hosting seat and the group starts the cast with some rather middling impressions of Splinter Cell Conviction. They have a lot to say about the game and Brian is especially down on the final product. Jeff’s shares his love for Darksiders before the group moves onto more StarCraft 2. Jeff had a chance to check out Dead to Rights 2 and his impression of the game can be summed up in his statement, “It...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 3

by Jonathan Downin in Games673 days ago

Special guest, Billy Berghammer, kicks-off the game talk with Final Fantasy XIII and his opinions are in line with most people’s commentary. Jeff is excited to talk about the iPad, and Brian gets in on the discussion since he picked one up as well. They are both quite excited about Apple’s new tablet and they touch on some of their gaming experiences. This leads into a discussion about the prospects for Sony and Nintendo’s upcoming handhelds. After a section about affordable games, the group moves on to a another new segment that...

4 Guys 1UP: 12/11/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games791 days ago

David is in LA this week for the VGAs, so the sound quality is markedly worse than usual. Billy Berghammer and former Pandemic producer Cory Lewis join-in this week and it makes for a fun cast. Cory answers some questions and offers some insight into Pandemic and what happened with the recent mass lay-offs. He also touches on more general industry topics like technology and how console generations affect developers. NPDs start the news and the guys spend a lot time talking about their impressions of the numbers. Mega Man 10 was announced, and it...
