This is Only a Test – Episode 19 – Can We Stop Talking About the iPhone 4′s Antenna?

by Alex Martin in Games, Tech572 days ago

Gary Whitta (screenwriter and games/tech enthusiast) steps in for the ill Norman Chan. He and Will Smith start talking about the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud server Will set up for Team Fortress 2. This flows into a discussion on the game, the Engineer update, and microphone headsets. They stick with games for the news, with the disappointing cancellation of 1 vs. 100 on Xbox Live. Both were taken with the novel live quiz-show format. The Android Market has surpassed 100, 000 apps. Will and Gary compare Google’s philosophy with Apple’s,...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 17

by Jonathan Downin in Games574 days ago

Garnett starts the game talk with his take on NCAA Football 11. No one seems to care too much so the discussion quickly moves on to DeathSpank. Another recent downloadable title, Puzzle Quest 2, gets some time and then Garnett gets into Sin & Punishment, which seems to be an extremely difficult and niche game. Brian shares some impressions of OnLive after spending time with the streaming gaming service. He is positive on the technical execution of the offering, but everyone has a problem with the pricing model at play. After a few cheap game...

The Geekbox: Episode 50

by Jon Cole in Games, TV743 days ago

Patrick Joynt joins the Geekbox crew this week and clearly wants to talk some Avatar.  Unfortunately, there’s not much new to hear from the regulars, with Patrick and Karen mustering a small defense for the visual effects and characterization. For those of you who are weary of Burn Notice spoilers, have no fear!  Patrick and Karen didn’t get a chance to check out the latest episode, so both Ryans and Fitch try to talk around the plot.  In other television news, Lost premiers next week, so Ryan Scott tosses out some major questions that he’d...

Player One Podcast: Episode 162 – Finishing Bowser’s Castle

by Ross Adams in Games801 days ago

This week’s especially funny cast starts off with the crew telling tales of their post-thanksgiving sales pick-ups. There aren’t many, but everyone is loving the Steam sale that was on over the weekend. Some listener tweets are up next, topics range from embarrassing podcast moments to Sega Saturn game recommendations. Some very brief Modern Warfare 2 talk kicks off what you been playing, after taking up at least 20 minutes during each the last few episodes the guys feel they’ve overdone it a bit. Greg Ford has been playing the...

Three Red Lights Podcast, Episode 121

by Jonathan Downin in Games919 days ago

1 vs. 100 has started showing up the top 10 games currently being played on Xbox 360.  It’s probably safe to assume that no one expected it to be such a hit when it was announced.  It seems like free games that bring the community together and offer prizes is something that will get people interested. This is the G.I. Joe episode, but that’s not saying much as almost every episode of Three Red Lights seems to be the G.I. Joe episode.  The guys have played the game and it scored a pretty horrible 5.8 on IGN.  It apparently has checkpoints...

Joystiq Podcast 100 – Century edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games945 days ago

Battlefield 1943 is not working too well for many people.  Apparently EA underestimated the popularity of the game so they did not allocate enough servers for online play.  How is that possible?  Hopefully it is working after they threw some more servers at the problem. The first episode of Tales of Monkey Island is out and it is good.  Some of LucasArts games have been put on Steam as well and that is a very good thing.  If you want to see more remakes of these old classics get over to Steam and buy the originals. This is a episode 100 for...

Giant Bombcast 07-07-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games948 days ago

The first episode of Telltale Game’s Tales of Monkey Island is out and it is good.  Telltale is mad up of a lot of the original LucasArts people so this makes sense.  Go pick up the season pass on Steam for $34.99. Okay, get this, a company called Galloping Ghost is allegedly making a digitized fighting game in the style of Mortal Kombat.  The only difference is that this is 2009.  Just go check out the screenshots. It gets one more mention–  Asteroids, the movie. Covered topics and games: July 4th, Infamous, Trine, Call of Juarez,...

Giant Bombcast 06-30-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games955 days ago

Another lengthy edition of the the Bombcast.  1 vs. 100 continues to grab attention.  It sounds like a great casual quiz game experience and being free is the thing that really makes it. The Conduit has not gone over too well at the Giant Bomb offices.  Check out Jeff’s review for all the details. There is some very serious and lengthy discussion about the acquisitions that have taken place over the past few weeks.  There is a lot of these going on, but weirdly enough, it sounds like it is to the benefit to almost all involved. The topic...

Xbox 360 Fancast 123 — Rebound

by Jonathan Downin in Games963 days ago

It never ceases to amaze how people like Steve Ballmer, who are high up in a company, don’t realize that they shouldn’t say something and then have to retract their statements.  Ballmer has been known to do this kind of thing before so it really isn’t all that surprising.  Regardless, it is probably safe to assume that Project Natal will be out next year. Ghostbusters has been getting fairly middling reviews, but the general feeling seems to be that it is fun.  Developer, Terminal Reality, stated during the development that...

Player One Podcast | Episode 134 – The Graphics are a Little Jackée

by Jonathan Downin in Games999 days ago

The rumored redesigned PS3 is again not getting much appreciation.  Nobody seems to like the presumed new look, but the prospect of a PS3 that doesn’t use the Spiderman font is something that does excite! Everyone goes through their games of the week, but the conversation picks up a lot at the end with talk moving onto Burnout Paradise and its new Cops and Robbers mode, Fat Princess and 1 Vs. 100.  It sounds like Fat Princess holds a lot of potential for some future multiplayer action. 1 Vs. 100 looks to be a very fresh take on how to handle...

Xbox 360 Fancast 116 — Audible

by Jonathan Downin in Games1003 days ago

Wolverine gets some time this week, but the guys are not exactly loving it.  Alexander puts it well when he says if you have played it and still like it, you haven’t played it enough.  True or not, it’s funny. 1 Vs. 100 seems to be catching some good buzz with talk of the beta going around.  It has been a long time coming since its announcement last year, but it looks like it may just deliver the kind of casual gaming that can draw in the mainstream and hardcore. There have been rumblings that Konami is working on a new Xbox 360 title. ...
