Game Scoop!

Game Scoop!

Game Scoop! is the premier podcast of the IGN games network and as such it is as you would expect in content. The crew discusses the biggest news of the week and tries not to linger on any 1 topic for too long. The best thing about Game Scoop! is how organically topics flow with very little downtime. Daemon and Greg are an amazing team and know exactly when to move on. Listen to it for the laughs and you may even get some game information out of it.

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 155

March 6th, 2010

Special guest and winner of the Game Scoop! IGN for Haiti auction, Ryan de La Rosa is on this week, and that results in a rather erratic show. It takes over 20 minutes for the guys to get into the real game talk and they start with the recent issues between Infinity Ward and Activision. The Game Developers Conference is next [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 154

February 26th, 2010

It should almost go unsaid at this point, but this week’s Game Scoop! is all over the place. Word of a “cocktail-wear required” Final Fantasy XIII event kicks things off before David shares some love for the latest (and last?) Borderlands DLC. Charles got some hands-on time with Street Fighter IV for iPhone and has [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 153

February 21st, 2010

Heavy Rain continues to dominate the gaming podcast landscape, but the comments here are quite positive. Quantic Dreams latest seems to polarize opinions in a way that no other game has in recent months. Hilary says that “If people don’t buy games like Heavy Rain, games like Heavy Rain won’t be made.” This makes it [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 152

February 13th, 2010

While many podcasts have focused on Microsoft’s X10 event, Game Scoop! starts with NPDs this week. Mass Effect 2 had very strong initial sales, but other games seem to have lost out to BioWare’s latest– except for Just Dance.
X10 does get some coverage with the guys talking about Dead Rising 2 and Alan Wake. Perfect [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 151

February 5th, 2010

Mass Effect 2 fever continues with Greg calling it “better than Uncharted 2.” As a staunch supporter of the PS3, this is a pretty huge deal. Dante’s Inferno got a 7.5 from IGN and the Scoop! guys say that it is worth picking up if all you have is an Xbox 360, if you have a PS3, [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 149

January 23rd, 2010

It’s a rowdy Game Scoop! this week with Daemon and Greg nursing hangovers. The Top 10 selling games of all time list starts the talk this week. Things then move onto Dark Void which Greg reiterates his distaste for. GTA: Chinatown Wars is now available for the iPhone and it seems like it may finally [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 148

January 16th, 2010

For some inexplicable reason, Mac & Me starts the cast this week. After the group gets over their in-joke, NPDs get a short discussion time. Ryan Geddes also launches into a frustration filled rant about the reliability of the Xbox 360 hardware, and he is arguably justified here.
Ryan and Ryan (yeah, it’s a bit weird), had [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 147

January 9th, 2010

CES continues to be the focus of podcast discussions with this week’s Game Scoop! The biggest gaming news has proven to be the announcement from Microsoft about the forthcoming Xbox Live Game Room. The guys are intrigued about the announcement of a virtual arcade environment, but feel like it still leaves a lot of questions [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 145

December 11th, 2009

The November NPDs are at the front this week and there is nothing too shocking. The games industry is down over last year, but the guys point-out that other sectors in the entertainment market are down as well. It is notable that Tony Hawk Ride sold over 100k units despite the horrible reviews though.
Dead Space [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 144

December 5th, 2009

Facebook games start off the cast and not surprisingly, they are discounted as “not games.”  A new Medal of Honor title is on the way from some of the original Call of Duty team and the crew is excited about a potential challenge to the reining leader in modern FPS war games.
The Prince of Persia [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 143

November 21st, 2009

Game Scoop starts off this week with some Left 4 Dead 2 stories and it seems like everyone in the office has been enjoying the game.  Next up is the wholly unimpressive Tony Hawk Ride, which Hilary found easier when using his hands to wield the skateboard controller rather than placing it underfoot.
The guys discuss [...]

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 142

November 14th, 2009

NPDs kick off this week’s Scoop. DJ Hero sales came in below even the moderate expectations for the game with only 122,000 units sold. Most of the crew have finished Modern Warfare 2, and the opinions are universally positive. Charles has been playing some Left 4 Dead 2 and his review will be going up [...]
