Joystiq Podcast 128 – BioShock 3 edition
February 19th, 2010
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 [...]

Joystiq Podcast 125 – Sportsball Basketson edition
January 29th, 2010
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 [...]
Joystiq Podcast 124 – Origami bazooka edition
January 24th, 2010
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 [...]

January 15th, 2010
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.

Joystiq Podcast 122 – iGUGU Gamecore edition
January 8th, 2010
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 [...]

December 23rd, 2009
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.

Joystiq Podcast 121 – Nomenclature edition
December 20th, 2009

Joystiq Podcast 120 – Chewbacca Battle Chess edition
December 14th, 2009
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 [...]
Joystiq Podcast 119 – Simply2Chaotic edition
December 5th, 2009
Justin has been playing the Saboteur, and he calls it a “mix of Assassin’s Creed II, Mercenaries 2 and GTAV put together, if they were made 5 years ago.” This is not exactly a ringing endorsement, but he feels like there is some fun to be had. Ludwig gave the Bayonetta demo a go and [...]
Joystiq Podcast 118 – Big Country edition
November 22nd, 2009
This week’s Joystiq podcast starts with Assassin’s Creed 2, which Justin immediately declares is his game of the year for 2009. Ludwig says that it roped him in immediately and he loves the way that gameplay mechanics are wrapped so well around the plot.

Girffin [...]
Joystiq Podcast 113 – Plunger McGillicutty edition
October 16th, 2009
There is a lot of praise for Uncharted 2 at the beginning of this episode. Chris touts the animation as being the best he has ever seen by citing many 1-off animations being used. Ludwig is equally impressed with the game and the guys can’t understand Tom Chick’s bafflingly negative take over at Crispy Gamer.
Brutal [...]
