The state of 1UP

by Jonathan Downin in Blog, Features, Games1129 days ago

As many of you may have heard, 1UP has been bought by UGO and this means many things, many of which we don’t know yet.  One thing we do know is that The 1UP show is done.  It really is shame to see such a great and unique take on the gaming scene go away.  It was certainly something that made Fridays worth the wait every week for me. It will be interesting to see what happens to the other 1UP productions like 1UP Yours, 1UP FM and LAN Party in the wake of this.  This story will be updated as more information comes in.  We wish everyone ...

1UP FM – 12/29/2008

by Jonathan Downin in Games1137 days ago

The 1UP crew is talking about the games of 2009.  More so than is usual it seems we don’t know too much about what is coming next year.  Hopefully there are a lot of games that haven’t been announced yet. Is Final Fantasy XIII really going to release next year?  I can’t see that happening.  I’m with Philip on Mafia II.  The first one was great and the second one looks to be a worthy follow-up.  It’s one of those games that kinda slipped through the cracks so if you haven’t played it, grab a copy of the PC...

Top 5 game & tech podcasts for the holiday break

by Jonathan Downin in Features1140 days ago

Like blogs before them, podcasts as a popular medium for entertainment and journalism are on their way to breaking out. Anyone who is a follower of almost anything can attest, it’s easy to get excited about hearing people you respect, or are simply entertained by, talk about your specific area of interest. Games and tech are the focus around here, so here are 5 podcasts not to miss from this holiday break, along with 5 other great ones on the newer/smaller side that you may not follow. 5) TWiT Leo Leporte’s This Week in Tech is the longest...

1UP FM – 12/22/2008

by Jonathan Downin in Games1144 days ago

Wow, this came out of nowhere.  I didn’t expect there to be a 1UP FM this week, but Nick and Philip have delivered yet again.  No Tina this week though guys, sorry.  They say there will also be a show next week. I am really blown away by 1UP recently. The only real rival to them is IGN as GameSpot has drifted from their greater days.  The overall vibe of the IGN guys is great, but being regular goes a long way.  This and 1UP Yours having a podcast this Friday; above and beyond guys. We talk to DS masterminds 5th Cell about their groundbreaking...

1UP FM – 12/15/2008

by Jonathan Downin in Games1151 days ago

The guys recorded this show all in 1 day.  Seeing as this is the most comprehensive weekly gaming podcast around that is quite the feat. This Playstation Home stuff is really blowing up, but it seems like it’s for the wrong reasons.  There isn’t much to do in there.  Is it just a time kill and nothing more?  Maybe it’s just skewed more towards teenagers. Anthony Gallegos brings the folk.  Check it at the 44:30 mark. It’s a PSN symposium! Shane, Alice, and Matt L. join us to go a little more on-depth on Flower, Noby Noby...

1UP FM – 12/08/2008

by Jonathan Downin in Games1158 days ago

Would anyone have ever guessed that Vin Diesel could start a game studio and that it would actually be a super sweet developer?  That guy knows what’s up.  Could we possibly have the first video game star on our hands here? Phillip Kollar and Nick Suttner deliver week after week with their diverse and groundbreaking take on the weekly game podcast.  Diverse topics, yet with a fresh format bring the goods every week.  Evil Avatar doesn’t know what they have lost… Edit: The interview with the Riddick team is really great.  DEFINITELY...

1UP FM – 12/01/2008

by Jonathan Downin in Games1165 days ago

The “kid’s table” is back after the Thanksgiving holiday.  The 1UP boys are a little late, but that’s better than not releasing one at all like many others around the net– yes, that’s directed at you IGN. And guys… no more interviews with zombies. Riddled with Mad Turkey Disease, we bring in House of the Dead: Overkill’s product manager Mike Schmitt and a couple of zombie friends (don’t worry, they quiet down eventually) to tell us about the upcoming Wii shooter, Giancarlo and Donahoe sit down...
