Joystiq Podcast 128 – BioShock 3 edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games819 days ago

It’s a packed week for the Joystiq boys. Justin starts off with a complete trashing of Heavy Rain. He says the story is awful and the acting is equally bad. Chris and Ludwig haven’t played too much of it yet, but they aren’t disagreeing with his assessments. BioShock 2 is still on the guys’ minds and they are still positive on the game. There seems to be some wonkiness with the Mass Effect DLC that causes problems when resuming games if you are not connected to Xbox Live. The StarCraft 2 beta and Civilization V garner no...

Joystiq Podcast 126 – Patrick Duffy edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games833 days ago

Mass Effect 2 continues to get a huge amount of love this week. The guys touch on many different aspects of why they love the game and conclude that Bioware has achieved the essence of what makes a true RPG. Justin touches on MAG and he is enjoying the game a lot more than he thought he would. Xbox Live service for the original Xbox will be discontinued on April 15th. There were some interesting tidbits in the announcement sent out by Microsoft, and the guys are looking forward to some insight into enhancements to the Xbox 360 Live service around...

Joystiq Podcast 125 – Sportsball Basketson edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games840 days ago

Mass Effect 2 talk is unavoidable at this point and it is of course the 1st game of discussion this week. Justin reviewed it for Joystiq and it is safe to say that he loved it. His opinion can be summed up in the fact that while playing it he felt like it may be his favorite game of all time. The RPG genre seems to have been pushed forward by the people at Bioware. Travis makes a short appearance to discuss his experience with MAG, and he has some positive impressions to share. The recently announced iPad takes center stage, and after a few shots...

Joystiq Podcast 124 – Origami bazooka edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games846 days ago

It’s a Dark Void extravaganza this week– and not in a good way. Capcom’s latest starts the podcast, but things quickly move onto Mass Effect 2, with much more positive commentary. Justin is playing it for review, but he can’t say much about it due to embargoes. Chris brings up the “potential” Apple tablet announcement that is set for the 27th, since rumors of EA being courted and the gaming press has been invited, but Justin is disinterested and refuses to spend more then $1000 on anything. We will see if he...

Joystiq Podcast 123 – 456 edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games854 days ago

Special guest Justin Russo is joining the regular crew this week and Ludwig starts things off with Bayonetta and Darksiders. He has positive comments for both, and Justin McElroy shares that he feels like Darksiders is missing something that he can’t quite put his finger on. Dark Void, and its recently released demo, get some time and the reactions are somewhat mixed. The demo is rather short though, so hopes are still high for the final game. In news, Netflix coming to Wii morphs into an airing of frustrations with Nintendo’s adversity...

Joystiq Podcast 122 – iGUGU Gamecore edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games861 days ago

Chris is covering CES this week, so he misses the 1st half of the show, but Griffin is sitting in. Ludwig starts things off with some hate for Rogue Warrior and Bayonetta’s ridiculous story. Justin chimes in with a strong recommendation for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories which seems to be constantly receiving good word of mouth. Griffin shares his experience with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and it was not exactly positive. Chris joins the cast and Microsoft’s recently announced Xbox Live Game Room receives some discussion. As...

Joystiq Podcast Holiday Funanza 2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games877 days ago

The holidays must bring out a sense of appreciation for fellow gamers as this week’s Joystiq Podcast continues the trend of nothing but reader mails. Christmas memories are the focus hear and there are some great stories, some heart-warming, some not so much. It may not be too surprising, but there is a lot of love for Nintendo, and more specifically the N64 here. Sega also still holds a special place in many people’s hearts, with the Sega CD getting a surprising amount of mentions. Get into the holiday spirit before listening to this...

Joystiq Podcast 121 – Nomenclature edition

by Ross Adams in Games881 days ago

The show kicks off with alot of Dragon Age: Origins talk, the graphics are the first point touched on. The guys agree they aren’t great but alot of the issues with the look of the game are down to a lack of animation. Justin has been playing Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes on the DS and is really enjoying it, he is slightly perplexed at the use of the Might & Magic name and the mostly generic subtitle. He is really enjoying the fast paced puzzle gameplay however. There is some discussion of the VGAs which the general consensus seems...

Joystiq Podcast 120 – Chewbacca Battle Chess edition

by Jon Cole in Games886 days ago

Justin McElroy is off the show this week due to some internet problems, but Ben Gilbert is in to take the third chair. Don’t fret, though, because Justin calls in early in the show to rant about Dante’s Inferno, which is decidedly a direct ripoff of God of War. On a similar note, Visceral also announced Dead Space 2 as well as the Isaac Clarke playable character in Dante’s Inferno, which is met with little surprise. Richard Mitchell also calls in, who talks about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories in the Whatcha been playin’ segment. ...
