Rebel FM Episode 34 – 10/01/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games959 days ago

Crime Craft starts this one out and it’s not pretty. Left 4 Dead Crash Course gets a middling response, with the opinion being that this was more of bone to throw to those complaining about the lack of support for L4D than anything else. The Beatles: Rock Band has Tyler excited, but Anthony and Arthur have barely touched it since its release. Arthur really wants to talk about Uncharted 2, but Anthony calls for waiting until next week to get in-depth on the game so Tyler can play it and join in on the conversation. They do get into it a little...

Rebel FM Episode 33 – 09/25/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games966 days ago

Halo ODST continues to be the first game covered in this week’s Rebel FM. Arthur ends up defending the game as Anthony argues that it doesn’t feel different enough and doesn’t offer enough content to justify its $60 price tag. Dead Space Extraction gets a glowing response from the guys here with them saying that it almost elevates the whole on-rails shooter genre. Tyler is talking about wanting to pick up Plants vs. Zombies, and the recent release of a stripped-down free flash version made it impossible for him to put it off any...

CO-OP – Episode 214: Swine Flu Containment Unit

by Jonathan Downin in Games970 days ago

Jason and Matt attended PAX this year and they took time to check in with 1UP alum, and now Microsoft’s XNA community manager, Kathleen Sanders and talk Xbox Indie Games. These games often get overlooked, but there are some notable and interesting looking titles available with a few of them are shown off here. The Beatles: Rock Band takes up the second spot this week with a huge cast of 1UP favorites coming in to talk about the game. There is not too much said here that hasn’t been said elsewhere, but seeing a big group playing the game...

Rebel FM Episode 32 – 09/17/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games974 days ago

Robert Ashley is on this week and that is always a good thing.  WET impressions and reviews have been disparate, but there is no doubt which side the Rebel FM guys fall on the issue– they don’t like it.  Darkest of days fares even worse here, but for the definitive view on the game, Giant Bomb’s quick look can’t be beat. Scribblenauts has not proven to be the game that the press had hyped it up to be, but Robert seems to be on the right track when he calls for an iPhone release of the game.  Anthony attended the recent...

Rebel FM PAX Back to School Special!

by Jonathan Downin in Games983 days ago

The is the most game-focused PAX podcast yet with the guys going in-depth on a lot of games which they saw at the show.  The first half was recorded in the hotel room in Seattle , with the second part recorded in the car on their way back to San Francisco. Although there wasn’t to much in regards to announcements at PAX, there were a ton of games that everyone could get their hands on, queues permitting.  Left 4 Dead 2 seems to have shirked off its L4D 1.5 impression with the new environments and infected types bringing a lot to the game. ...

Rebel FM Episode 31 – 08/28/09

by Jon Cole in Games994 days ago

This week, Tina Sanchez joins the Rebel FM crew, opening the first segment with Dawn of War II.  In preparation for the upcoming DLC, she’s been spending a little bit of time trying to master some of the levels from this Games for Windows Live RTS.  Arthur notes that Dawn of War II shares many basic elements with a game like Diablo 2 and is a great for newbies to the genre. Arthur talks about Guitar Hero 5 briefly, noting its constantly updating interface and feature list to bring it closer to Rock Band.  He also admires drop-in multiplayer,...

The GameSpy Debriefings #95

by Jonathan Downin in Games995 days ago

It’s a 4 person crew with Green Pixel’s Dana Jongewaard joining in on the festivities this week.  Some old GFW Radio throw-backs come up over this episode including the infamous Yaddle and Anthony situation. Ryan continues to share his excitement about the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion and while Will doesn’t care about WoW, he is quite interested in Diablo III. Will steps out in the middle of the podcast and Ryan takes the opportunity  to talk about the forthcoming XBLA release The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom.  This...

CO-OP | Episode 210 – Laundry Day

by Jonathan Downin in Games998 days ago

Starting out this week’s CO-OP is Little Kings Story for Wii.  For reasons unknown, this game has gotten a lot of coverage in the mainstream press.  It seems like there is some intriguing strategy gameplay mechanics in play here, but it doesn’t use the Wii’s unique aspects in any way.  This isn’t a game that would be getting this amount of time if it were a 360 or PS3 game, so it’s a little baffling why it has caught the attention that it has. Woldenstein RPG is the iPhone game of the week and it looks like it suits...

Rebel FM Episode 30 – 08/20/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1002 days ago

Starting out this week’s episode Tyler is talking about his ongoing love affair with Civilization 4 after getting into the Colonization expansion.  He has also been playing Champions Online which he is having trouble getting into and the guys discuss the many problems of WET. This week’s topic of the week centers around the announcement of the PS3 slim and the implications of the new $299 price point.  There are a lot of opinions flying around, but one unique point that is brought up is about the size of the slim and Sony’s decision...

Rebel FM Episode 29 – 08/13/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1009 days ago

Microsoft seems to have really nailed it this summer with their XBLA releases.  Trials HD has gotten a lot of good press, but good press and good sales numbers are 2 different things.  Shadow Complex’s August 19th release is mere days away and Tyler almost breaks the press embargo at the beginning of this one.  It is probably safe enough to say that it will be worth the $10 at this point though. Anthony had a chance to play some Operation Flashpoint 2 and as expected, it seems to be for a very particular type of simulation crowd.  This...

The GameSpy Debriefings #93

by Jonathan Downin in Games1010 days ago

It’s a day of podcast additions.  The GameSpy Debriefings will now be a regular on CastMedium.  With regular hosts Ryan Scott and Anthony Gallegos, it is almost like a small throwback to the late GFW/LAN Party days.  Anthony is a little more reined-in here, so those of you that find Rebel FM a little over-the-top may find what you are looking for here. After touching on the requisite WoW topics, including rumored new races in a forthcoming expansion pack, Anthony talks a bit about Trials HD.  This Motorcycle handling series has been around...

Rebel FM Episode 28 – 08/06/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1015 days ago

The new Gears of War 2 All Fronts pack is out and it sounds like the new single player “cut” is not good, but the pack includes so much other content that it’s still a good deal for the price.  It includes all previous map packs so at $20 dollars it is a steal, especially if you haven’t bought any of the previous content.  But be careful, only the retail disc includes all previously released stuff, the DLC version only gets you the new maps at the same price. Anthony got his hands on Batman Arkham Asylum and after putting...

Rebel FM Episode 27 – 07/30/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1023 days ago

Rebel FM seems to get longer every week.  At almost 2 1/2 hours it feels like this could be cut down quite a bit, but there is a lot of actual game talk going on in this one. Arthur attended Comic-Con and he went hands-on with a lot of games that weren’t even available to the press during E3.  Dante’s Inferno sounds like it is shaping-up quite nicely.  If you like the God of War style and aren’t opposed by harsh and sexualized imagery, this could give God of War 3 a decent run for it’s money. Brutal Legend has been getting...

CO-OP | Episode 206 – The City Always Wins

by KirePDX in Games1026 days ago

CO-OP is only covering two games this week; and they assemble a full party to swap war stories about Battlefield 1943, and then sit a few guys down to talk about Wii Sports Resort. While Battlefield 1943 has had problems with matchmaking and its servers, everyone is having a lot of fun with this XBLA shooter with a focus on their fun experiences. Veteran Battlefield players will be familiar with the game style, but some of the newcomers to the series are discovering the charms of the game’s classes, vehicles and WWII setting. BitMob’s...

Rebel FM Episode 26 – 07/23/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games1029 days ago

Hello new intro song and podcast art.  Tyler is getting into Dead Space.  The game was heavily covered around its release by the enthusiast press, but it ultimately didn’t sell too well.  It is a great evolution of the action/horror genre and it’s great to hear it still getting some press this long after its release. The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition is out and the consensus is that it is a great remake of a classic game.  Matt has a few qualms with the updated graphics, but it seems like it is more due to the limitations...
