Rebel FM Episode 43 – 120909

by Ross Adams in Games791 days ago

The show starts off with some pretty passionate discussion of Modern Warfare 2 in the what you’ve been playing segment. Guest Dan “Shoe” Hsu and Tyler have been loving the game lately and praise the constant rewards it hands out, making for a seriously addictive experience. Anthony seems to have enjoyed Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, with the unique features of the Wii remote put to good use. The second segment is all about the recent announcement of Bitmob and Area 5′s involvement in the relaunch of EGM. Matt and Shoe...

The GameSpy Debriefings #106

by Jonathan Downin in Games792 days ago

After a GarageBand crash and subsequent loss of the podcast last week, the GameSpy guys are back. This week’s cast starts out with a rather sorry tale of Ryan’s attempt to play Assassin’s Creed 2– yes, he couldn’t get past the tutorial. Left 4 Dead 2 and New Super Mario Bros.Wii have been entertaining and frustrating the crew. Brian #1 (or is it #2?) reviewed The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the site and shares his opinions on it here. While he enjoyed it a lot, he doesn’t quite manage to convince Anthony...

Rebel FM Episode 42 – 120309

by Ross Adams in Games798 days ago

Back to a regular length show this week and Tyler kicks things off with yet more IGF games he has been playing. He’s specifically enjoying space based entrants at the moment. Arthur has started playing the 2008 game Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, the guys relate it to playing with LEGO and think it’s alot of fun. There’s some discussion of Pandemics “swan song” The Saboteur Arthur and Anthony are a bit down on the game, they don’t seem to think it’s bad, just not great. Anthony played some League of Legends,...

The GameSpy Debriefings #104

by Jon Cole in Games804 days ago

Arthur Gies joins the Gamespy Debriefings talking about Left 4 Dead 2 and Lego: Indiana Jones 2 at the top of the show.  Ryan gets a chance to talk about Star Trek Online, which doesn’t sound too promising.  The ground combat of the game, in particular, is apparently very similar to Cryptic’s previous game, Champions Online.  The space combat is a bit better and the guys discuss some of the chronology and history of Star Trek. After a brief spinoff into EVE online, the guys get into listener emails.  Podcast monetization, Twilight: New Moon,...

The Rebel FM Juneteenth Special!

by Ross Adams in Games806 days ago

It’s a “Juneteenth” holiday special this week, which essentially means a slightly shorter podcast than usual. Tyler starts off what you’ve been playing with what he hasn’t been playing, as his Xbox 360′s disc drive has scratched his Assassins Creed 2 disc to the point that it’s unreadable. He has been playing a lot of games that are part of the IGF. Tyler has moved on from Captain Forever, to the follow-up Captain Successor. He is enjoying it, but he feels Captain Forever (which is now free) is probably the...

Rebel FM Episode 41 – 111909

by Ross Adams in Games812 days ago

It’s just the usual 3 hosts this week and what you’ve been playing starts with Anthony explaining the shortcomings of Modern Warfare: Reflex Edition on Wii. He has also been playing Left 4 Dead 2 which he thinks is better than Left 4 Dead 1 in every way. After a brief discussion about Assassins Creed: Bloodlines on PSP, Arthur and Tyler share their thoughts on Assassin’s Creed 2, Arthur especially is very impressed by it. This leads to some debate about game of the year, and Anthony worries that more recent games will get picked...

The GameSpy Debriefings #103

by Jon Cole in Games812 days ago

New Super Mario Bros. Wii took center stage at the beginning of this week’s Gamespy Debriefings, with reviewer Ryan Scott showering heaps of praise on the game.  The discussion is pretty extended and probably one of the most comprehensive looks among this week’s podcasts, albeit the recurring conversation about the Mario canon timeline. Anthony got a chance to play Left 4 Dead 2 and talks about why the changes in the AI director, new weapons, and new special infected make it much more than Left 4 Dead 1.5.  He also brings up the continuity...

Rebel FM Episode 40 – 111209

by Jonathan Downin in Games820 days ago

Arthur’s news of landing a job with Team Xbox starts the cast, and his first order of business will be writing the review for Assassin’s Creed 2. Dragon Age takes the limelight before Tyler touches on Captain Forever again after last week’s discussion of the free online game. The guys get into Modern Warfare 2, and Arthur has a few things to say about the now infamous airport scene. Anthony talks about the Civ-like Europa Universalis and things stay in the realm of strategy games with the recent Dawn of War II expansion. Anthony...

Rebel FM Episode 39 – 11/05/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games827 days ago

This week’s cast kicks off with Left 4 Dead 2, but quickly moves on to Modern Warfare 2 and the group, with guest Tina Sanchez, spend over 30 minutes discussing the various recent developments surrounding the game. The overall tone is rather negative, with the limits on the PC and Xbox multiplayer modes and the recent controversial video being cited. Tyler and Arthur both state they will not be picking up the game in light of these issues. Tyler has been playing GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony and has nothing but praise for the game. Borderlands...

Rebel FM Episode 38 – 10/28/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games833 days ago

Things start out with the indie game Captain Forever. Anthony and Tyler sound like they have had some fun with the game, but they feel like the $15 asking price is a little high. Anthony had a chance to see some of the single player portion of Bioshock 2 and he shares some spoiler-free impressions here. After some quick Torchlight experiences, the guys touch upon Civilization, Windows 7 and Modern Warfare 2.  Tyler also shares some Eufloria thoughts. Things take a sharp turn in the second half. The guys had a chance to visit Children’s Miracle...

Rebel FM Episode 37 – 10/22/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games841 days ago

Anthony has finished his 1st playthrough of Borderlands and ended up giving it a 4/5 star review on GameSpy. This is in pretty stark contrast to what Arthur had to say about the game last week. Anthony is also talking about Dante’s Inferno PSP after having some time with it recently. He says that it is more God of War-like than ever, but that doesn’t sound like a bad thing. Tropical 3 also comes up as a follow-up to the discussion about the game on this week’s Geekbox. Tyler has been playing a lot of games recently and he talks...

The Geekbox: Episode 36

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV842 days ago

Anthony Gallegos is on this week, and so continues the constant cross-pollination of fellow Hammersuit personalities. Ryan Higgins begins with his experience at Star Wars: In Concert. After a bit of movie talk, the group moves onto Borderlands where Anthony reveals that he will probably be giving it a 4/5 star review on GameSpy. This leads into a more general MMO discussion and Anthony sharing some EverQuest memories. TV talk starts with the lamenting of the death of wrestler and Mario TV show star, Lou Albano. Venture Borthers gets some love and...

CO-OP – Episode 301: An Age of Wonder

by Jonathan Downin in Games844 days ago

It’s the start of a new season of CO-OP, and it’s the same– but that’s not a bad thing. New Super Mario Bros.Wii starts things off and the guys are excited about its multiplayer prospects. They may be going a little far by saying that it is like Super Mario Bros. 4 though. Matt takes over the 2nd segment with a trip to the office of Gaijin Games to interview the indie developer about their forthcoming WiiWare game, Bit.Trip Void. While the game probably isn’t on many people’s radar, it is cool to see an indie...

Rebel FM Episode 36 – 10/15/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games848 days ago

There area  lot of games covered this week, starting the forthcoming Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. Anthony had a chance to get some hands on time with it and it’s sounds like it is going to be solid. The guys quickly touch on the co-op in Modern Warfare 2 and then get into a lengthy discussion about Borderlands. Arthur doesn’t have too many nice things to say about the game and he cites the unskippable cinematics as baffling since Gearbox is positioning this as a game that is good for multiple playthroughs. Anthony is reviewing...

Rebel FM Episode 35 – 10/08/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games853 days ago

Nintendo held a New Super Mario Bros.Wii event earlier this week, so the gaming collective are all talking about the game. Many were not exactly excited about the game after it’s E3 revel earlier this year, but the impressions from this event have been highly positive. Anthony’s impressions are no different and he talks a bit about the games here and then goes on to share some more positive thoughts about Motorstorm. Uncharted 2 is glazed over with the guys just touching on multiplayer and the situation surrounding the reviews of the...
