Rebel FM Episode 62 – 05/13/10

by Alex Martin in Games735 days ago

After the worst podcast introduction ever Anthony, Arthur, Tyler and semi-regular Matt get into the games they’ve been playing. Anthony and Matt start by comparing Bullet Storm to Pain Killer and Burnout. The combo system sounds more like an extreme sports game though. Arthur loved the choice of song for the Alan Wake end credits but raised an eyebrow at the strange ending. He also continues the Lost Planet 2 hate but enjoyed some Split Second. A lot of the staff at Black Rock used to work for Criterion, so it’s got a distinctly Burnout...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 164: Sects

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies738 days ago

The guys are almost down on Iron Man 2 but not quite, they mostly agree that it’s at least on the same level as the first film. Jeff has the most complaints about it, he feels Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr indulged themselves a little too much and the movie suffers for it. A trailer for Super 8, a collaboration between Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams, was attached to Iron Man 2. Dan goes on to describe the contents of the trailer and also express his disappointment although he admits that maybe because it was so hyped up beforehand. Peter...

The HotSpot 05/11/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games738 days ago

Alan Wake starts this week’s cast on a high note. Everyone is enjoying the game and the story gets some especially high praise. Lost Planet 2, on the other hand, takes some pretty hard blows from the group, including Kevin who says that it will be remembered in 10 years for having one of the worst levels of all time. The announcement of Little Big Planet 2 has Tom excited about all of the new user created levels that will inevitably appear. Wii Party gets a unanimous ”meh,” and the new God of War for PSP isn’t causing...

CastMedium Podcast 035 – 05.11.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech738 days ago

The slickly put together EGMi starts the discussion this week. In games we discuss the somewhat glowing reception of Alan Wake and get into the Halo Reach Beta. I may not be that good at Halo, but Jon is well seasoned and shares his experience and talks about the new Invasion mode (which Erik Likens to a mode in the original Unreal Tournament). In tech, we discuss Microsoft’s new KIN phones and Erik is excited about getting his hands on some new gadgets at tomorrow’s gdgt event. If you are planning to attend, let us know and you can...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 162

by Jon Cole in Games740 days ago

This week’s Game Scoop! starts off with impressions of some recently released games, namely Alan Wake and Lost Planet 2. The former has garnered a lot of attention from the games press and Daemon says that it’s his second favorite game of the year thus far, after Mass Effect 2. Lost Planet 2, unfortunately, hasn’t enjoyed similar praises; Arthur Gies’s review of the game was hardly complementary, saying that it improves on the graphics but doesn’t learn many other lessons from the mistakes of the first game. Knockin’...

Formerly 4 Guys 1UP: 05/07/2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games740 days ago

The podcast, name withheld, is hosted this week by Ray Barnholt who usually sticks to retro games, although this week he’s all “beards and big guns” in order to fit the mold of this show. Talk on the gaming front starts off with Scooter and Justin discussing Alan Wake, but differ in their opinions of some of the game’s quirkier features. The guys give their opinions on Picross 3D before moving on to Scooter’s opinions on Fallout: New Vegas which sounds promising. Justin has been playing Lost Planet 2, which most of...

Rebel FM 61 — 05/06/10

by Alex Martin in Games741 days ago

Technical difficulties force a late, truncated Rebel FM this week. The regulars, along with Matt Chandronait and Robert Ashley, still mange to bring two hours of the usual high-quality cat facts, relationship advice, and video games talk. Alan Wake starts the show, and the crew avoid spoilers again while heaping praise on its stylish shooting action and atmosphere, which Robert compares to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.’s mist and darkness. Robert has some cheap iPhone games to recommend — Action Buggy, Rise, and Warpgate. Anthony went to Pixar’s...

Joystiq Podcast 137 – An Unknown Terror edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games741 days ago

Alan Wake is proving to be a big hit among the Joystiq guys. Chris says that is his favorite game of the year so far and that he thinks it is better than Mass Effect 2. On top of all of that, he also says that he hasn’t felt this way about a game since Portal– high praise indeed. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Justin was playing Nier for review, but quit due to the “offensive” game design– don’t miss his video about the game. Metro 2033 gets some kind words from Ludwig and Justin touches on last week’s...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 7

by Alex Martin in Games742 days ago

Garnett joins his regular co-hosts, Jeff, Brian, and Billy to talk about the games they’ve been playing this week. Microsoft has lifted the Alan Wake embargo, so they start by heaping praise on it while avoiding spoilers. The writing, characterization, and episodic design all sound excellent and the biggest fault they can find with it is the poor facial animation. They’ve also been enjoying Halo Reach and 3D Dot Game Heroes’ old-school appeal, as well as sports games 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and Skate 3. Brian’s...

Formerly 4 Guys 1UP: 04/30/2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games749 days ago

This week, the podcast former known as…will be known as 1UPchuck. Jeremy takes the helm again but announces this will be his last week and it sounds like we will finally get to see the future of the flagship next week. This week is shaping up to be the Activision episode. First up, the news that Bungie signed a 10 year publishing agreement with Activision sent the games world for a spin and Frank Cifaldi clarifies some of the details. The next Call of Duty game, Black Ops, was also just announced and is the next game from Treyarch and the...

Rebel FM Episode 60 – 04/28/10

by Alex Martin in Games749 days ago

The Cat Fancier Podcast starts with another dubious cat-fact before hosts Anthony, Arthur, Tyler, and Matt steer it back towards more familiar territory. Alan Wake review codes have gone out this week, and the crew talk in detail about its game-design, which sounds as solid as its atmosphere. The Halo: Reach beta also sounds like fun, although Arthur and Anthony had to squint to see any graphical improvement over Halo 3. Arthur doesn’t sound impressed with Lost Planet 2 or Prince of Persia: the Forgotten Sands on Wii. Matt has been playing...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 6

by Alex Martin in Games749 days ago

The regulars — Garnett, Jeff, Brian, and Billy — have been playing the Halo: Reach beta. They sound excited about the new toys it brings, and don’t seem burnt-out on the nine-year-old series. They’re not so sure about Tecmo Bowl Throwback though, with Garnett doubtful of the PSN and XBLA game’s value. Monster Hunter Tri gets a brief mention before the four can enthuse about Alan Wake. They’re only allowed to talk about the first “chapter”, but they fervently gush over what they can. Starcraft 2,...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 2

by Jonathan Downin in Games777 days ago

Weekend Confirmed continues to be nice and heavy on the game talk. We get a double-dose of Whatcha been playin’ this week with Super Street Fighter 4 up first, followed by Jeff revisiting his Just Cause 2 opinions from last week. Heavy Rain leads into some discussion about how Alan Wake compares to David Cage’s “non-game.” Comparisons in approaches to the story-telling in Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age finish the game section. 4 Minute Warning is back and Jeff takes the opportunity to share his excitement about the eminent iPad...

Three Red Lights Podcast Episode 137

by Jonathan Downin in Games814 days ago

Three Red Lights is back in more ways than one. They somehow managed to talk the higher-ups into letting them go back to their roots and head into the lands of the explicit– and it is glorious. X10 talk is riddled with impressions with the guys touching on Fable III and Alan Wake. The latter sounds like it is among the crews’ more anticipated games. The forthcoming Borderlands DLC gets a lot of discussion and Nate wants to play Dante’s Inferno since God of war 3 is still a ways away. The improvements to to Major League Baseball...

Giant Bombcast 02-23-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games815 days ago

Brad Shoemaker is back in the saddle this week and kicks off the podcast discussing his recent playthrough of Heavy Rain with surprising detail while remaining spoiler-free. Following this all four guys get into a very lengthy and in-depth discussion about the Starcraft II beta, followed by a bit more RTS with Command & Conquer 4. This part of the show was a bit difficult to get through for someone who has as little interest in the genre as I have, so be forewarned. Most of the rest of the segment is spent talking about previews that each of...
