Joystiq Podcast 130 – March Into Positivity edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games707 days ago

It’s a completely packed shows this week with the guys starting off on Battlefield Bad Company 2. The opinions are positive on the game, but not overly so. Heavy Rain is receiving some DLC and Ludwig touches on AvP and Resident Evil 5 DLC. Portal 2, which will be a full-fledged sequel with a full game sticker price, kicks off the jammed news segment and the excitement level is understandably high. This leads into the almost confirmed news that Valve is bringing Steam to Mac. The guys speculate on the possibility that Valve may be bringing...

CastMedium Podcast 025 – 02.22.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech718 days ago

Episode 25 means no Erik (yes, again), a 4 man show and me using my MacBook Pro’s internal mic for the first 10 minutes (yes, also again). Our impressions of the EGM digital edition peek start the show and it is pretty. We also hit on DICE and last week’s 4 Guys 1UP from the developer conference. Heavy Rain is still the hottest game around and we are focusing on the quicktime event mechanics that are central to the gameplay. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth looks good, but the conversation moves onto our loss of interest...

Rebel FM Episode 52 – 02/18/09

by Ross Adams in Games720 days ago

It’s an X10 what you been playing/seeing blowout this week so the vast majority of the show is games talk. Before that though Tyler has been playing some non-X10 games, the first of which is Trials HD. Arthur reviewed Aliens vs Predator and really didn’t like it, it seems to be very low on content and as a result extremely repetitive. Arthur saw Awakening, the upcoming Dragon Age expansion, and it looks to be a worthy follow-up to the main game. Anthony got some hands on with Command & Conquer 4 and while he had fun with it he doesn’t...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 17

by Derek Lavigne in Games721 days ago

In the first segment, Matt, Joe, and Phil discuss the new downloadable game P.B. Winterbottom, which Joe wrote a review for. All three guys seem to enjoy it, although Phil and Matt have only played about an hour or so. Joe mentions the obvious comparisons being drawn between this game and Braid, but says he feels P.B. Winterbottom to be an easier game and tip-toes around saying it is less pretentious. The second segment is focused on Alien vs. Predator, which has brought a lot of controversy to GI after Ben Reeves’ low score in his review....

Giant Bombcast 02-16-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games723 days ago

Bombcast is recording a little late this week due to appointments to see games which means Brad is once again missing. Vinny kicks things off by baffling everyone with his return to Mass Effect 1. Jeff talks about his disappointment with Aliens vs. Predator before shifting into a long discussion about Microsoft’s X10 event. Jeff seems hyped for Game Room and equally so for Crackdown 2 and they also touch on what they saw of Dead Rising 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction. The segment closes out once again in befuddlement as Drew reveals he has...

The HotSpot 02/16/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games724 days ago

Aliens Vs. Predator is out and it sounds like it is very faithful to Rebellion’s earlier Aliens vs. Predator games, but this is not necessarily a good thing. Perfect Dark for XBLA was announced at x10 and it garners some excitement here. Fable III is passed over rather quickly with Halo Reach, Alan Wake and Dead Rising 2 getting bigger chunks of time for discussion. NPDs and recent comments from Activision and Ubisoft have the guys pondering the state of the industry. Activision is closing and paring down some of their studios resulting...

4 Guys 1UP

4 Guys 1UP: 02/05/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games735 days ago

Sonic 4 and the expectations surrounding the game start the podcast this week. The guys milk the fan reactions to recent Sonic title announcements to share their skepticism. The recent Fallout: New Vegas trailer spurs some conversation about what this new entry may be and what Obsidian may bring to the table with their take on the series. The (now retracted) ESRB description of Dead or Alive Paradise enrages Ray, but amuzes the rest of the group. No More Heroes gets some attention and then the guys move onto talk about the 4 year old game that...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 8

by Derek Lavigne in Games813 days ago

For this week’s first segment, Matt Helgeson is joined by Sega Associate Brand Manager Wyman Jung to discussion the new Alien vs. Predator title under development by Rebellion. Wyman says that unique multiplayer features like several survivor modes will really set the game apart from other similar titles. He also reveals that the game’s storyline will not be tied to any previous movies from either franchise. In the second section, Matt welcomes Andy McNamara and Matt Miller to talk about Assassin’s Creed 2. Both agree that parts...

Listen UP: 08/21/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games903 days ago

Don’t let this week’s Listen UP fool you with it’s shorter length and only 2 man crew, there are a ton of games covered here.  Garnett and Sam are recording from Germany and they are hitting everything. First up is the PS3 slim news and the guys are understandably excited, but Garnett doesn’t feel like the new system is too handsome looking and the lack of backwards compatibility brings some disappointment.  Moving onto Microsoft, the Fable III and episodic Fable II announcements go over well, with Garnett positive that...

Joystiq Podcast 085 – Dedication edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1092 days ago

Justin starts this one out by talking about Retro Game Challenge on this week’s episode.  After talking about Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection yesterday it seems people are really feeling nostalgic about the good ‘ol 8-bit days. Halo Wars is receiving a somewhat luke-warm reception from the ‘stiq guys.  RTS continues to not be a genre that console-centric players really love.  Is it the genre and how it works (or doesn’t) on consoles, or do console players just want more action centered games? The audio is a little...
