2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games793 days ago

At1UP may just be taking the title of “ultimate geek podcast” from the Geekbox. The addition of Alan Johnson to lineup continues to lead into the world of fan fiction and examination of minutiae in popular franchises. Comics kick things off before the group moves into a wrap-up discussion of GDC. Jade and Alan have been playing the new Pokemon game for DS and this results in Mike getting worked up over the implementation of the Pokewalker. Jade continues to play through Dragon Quest VIII and has had a somewhat disappointing first...

by Ross Adams in Games804 days ago

Ray Barnholt is in the hosting seat this week for an episode dedicated to Data East. Inspired by the recent release of Data East Arcade Classics for Wii. First off the guys touch on the weeks retro news, starting with the released of Megaman 10. Jeremy reviewed it and while he liked it he doesn’t seem overly excited about the game, it seems the retro styling may have lost its gmmicky appeal. Activision made a point of making themselves look as bad as possible this week, aswell as the Infinity Ward drama they decided to shut down a Kings Quest...

4 Guys 1UP: 03/05/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games805 days ago

The massive week of news starts with discussion about the recent PS3 leap year issue. The guys then move on to a lengthy segment of speculation on details surrounding the issues between the former Infinity Ward heads and Activision. Portal 2 has been confirmed and the crew covered the ARG-like events leading up to the announcement and touch on the possibilities of Valve bringing more than just Steam to the Mac side of things. In the second segment, Ray talks about his experience at the Nintendo Media Summit, but the conversation quickly moves...

Retronauts Episode 87: 02/18/2010

by Ross Adams in Games819 days ago

Retronauts takes a rare break from its usual format for a more freeform episode this week. Right off the bat the crew derail the usual cold opening with random ramblings about games based on popular literature. The show gains a bit of structure again by moving onto retro news. Footage and screens of Sonic 4 leaked this past week, in between some speculation Sharkey is not kind to the game. It was also announced that Dimps will be developing the game, Ray and Jeremy really liked their work on Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush so the news makes them a...

4 Guys 1UP: 02/05/2010

Sonic 4 and the expectations surrounding the game start the podcast this week. The guys milk the fan reactions to recent Sonic title announcements to share their skepticism. The recent Fallout: New Vegas trailer spurs some conversation about what this new entry may be and what Obsidian may bring to the table with their take on the series. The (now retracted) ESRB description of Dead or Alive Paradise enrages Ray, but amuzes the rest of the group. No More Heroes gets some attention and then the guys move onto talk about the 4 year old game that...

Retronauts Episode 86: 02/04/2010

by Ross Adams in Games834 days ago

With the upcoming PSP re-release of the first game, Lunar is the game up for discussion on this weeks show. Jeremy drops a few spoilers for the game without any warning so if you haven’t played Lunar and plan to it may be best to skip this segment. Alot of the discussion floats around the differences between the many versions of the game. Being an early CD based game the guys talk about how appealing it was because of the novelty of voice acting and animated cutscenes. After Lunar the crew move the topic onto the developer behind it, Game...

Retronauts Episode 85: 01/21/2010

by Ross Adams in Games847 days ago

Microsoft’s Game Room is the first thing up for discussion in retro news, there is some debate whether Microsoft can realistically hit thousands of games within a year. This leads into a more general discussion about downloadable retro titles and the fact that the game room interface seems like a nicer or more interesting interface for that sort of thing. Capcom’s fake retro revival of Dark Void is an interesting experiment and the crew enjoy the fabricated story behind it. Jeremy makes the comparison to Retro Game Challenge but feels...

Retronauts Episode 84: 01/07/2010

by Ross Adams in Games861 days ago

While other podcasts reflect on the year just past Retronauts looks back a little further, specifically to 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990 and 1995. There’s some retro news to be covered first, the bulk of the discussion is about the disdain for Final Fight 3 and the mixed reactions to the recently released Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth. 1975 is only briefly talked about, with Pong home consoles being the most notable gaming event of note. Once they get into more eventful years like 1985 and 1990 the guys get very in depth with the goings on in...
