Giant Bombcast 02-08-2011

by Ross Adams in Games366 days ago

It takes almost a full 30 minutes before this weeks Bombcast gets on topic, the guys first discuss the superbowl or at least the parts surrounding the super bowl. Vinny manages to segway into the game talk as his brother was visiting and they played a bunch of games together. They played Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, Jeff also played and neither of them are particularly high on the game. Vinny didn’t like that he was constantly running into parts of levels he couldn’t access until he had a new power-up or weapon. While Jeff praises the...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 9: Rolling With the Pope

by Jonathan Downin in Games573 days ago

This one starts with the revelation that Chris has not seen the movie, The Wizard– incredible. Starting the games talk, Chris spends 20 minutes on Assassin’s Creed 2. Not many emergent moments were spawned, but he seems to have enjoyed some of the more ridiculous mechanics at play. Portal 2 gets just a few minutes before Chris shares some love for Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands. Famous talks about how great Snoopy’s Flying Ace is, but never really manages to get the guys to take him seriously. Chris explains his affection for...

Podcast Beyond: DeathSpank

by Jon Cole in Games574 days ago

Podcast Beyond welcomes back Ryan Clements from the land of the podcast dead for this week’s show, starting things off with Greg’s plans for Comic-Con. The Roper Report gives Greg and Colin the chance to report in on Hulu Plus, which doesn’t seem to get anyone too excited. In other news, Double Fine has announced that they’re going to release four smaller games made by smaller teams within the company, which does little more than inspire an “eh” due to the somewhat misleading gameplay premise of Brutal Legend. Deathspank...

TWiT 238: Lisa Hates Technology

by Jon Cole in Tech702 days ago

A regular TWiT cast is joined by Fox and Friends’ Clayton Morris, starting off with the news that the Apple iPad is facing a minor delay. In response, Microsoft has released some information on the formerly rumored Courier tablet. With Conan O’Brien’s latest move to elevate a random person to internet celebrity status simply through his Twitter friend list, Leo and Kevin up the ante with their own candidate, @LisaTickledPink (whom Kevin chose by looking up “I hate technology” in Twitter’s search function). At...

Rebel FM Episode 49 – 01/29/10

by Ross Adams in Games741 days ago

Assassins Creed 2′s first bit of DLC was released this week, guest Ryan O’Donnell and Arthur have both been playing it. While they agree it’s disappointing they both recommend picking it up because the low price for more Assassins Creed 2 content seems like a no-brainer. Arthur briefly touches on Dante’s Inferno, he is not sure of his feelings on it yet but hopes to talk about it more next week. Arthur played some of the 360 demo for Battlefield Bad Company 2, he says there is a definite learning curve when it comes to the...

The GameSpy Debriefings #111

by Jon Cole in Games750 days ago

At the top of the show, Ryan talks a little bit about his experiences with Tatsunoko vs Capcom, which comes out next week on the Nintendo Wii. Some of the most interesting facts he reveals are that the game has very little localization and the Phoenix Wright playable character is only available in the Japanese version, for the most trivial of reasons. Capcom’s newest fighting game transitions into a conversation about the general state of fighting games and some of the guys’ nostalgia for older fare. Anthony is certainly no fighting...

CO-OP — Episode 314: Reflections 2009 Part 1

by Derek Lavigne in Games753 days ago

It may be well into the new year, but the guys at Area5 haven’t forgotten about 2009 just yet. This week they lapse from their normal formula and head back to the format of the very first episode of CO-OP, a bunch of friends sitting around talking about their favorite games of the year. After a quick stop on games with twitter integration, open world games become the first focus of conversation. David Ellis of 1up cites Infamous as one of his favorites, while Kat Bailey recounts her first experience with Red Faction: Guerrilla. Two heavy...

CastMedium Podcast 020 – 01.18.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech754 days ago

Army of Two: The 40th Day is the 1st game this week and it has us wishing that it was more like 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Dark Void isn’t quite doing it for Jon or Erik either. We hit some smaller topics, including the potential for multiplayer in an Assassin’s Creed 2 spin-off, and we give Ross a call to fill us in on his Star Trek Online experience. Jon and I hit on the growing patent dispute between Nokia and Apple and then we move onto Daybreakers and The Lovely Bones in the movies section. If Daybreakers reminds you of Gattaca...

4 Guys 1UP: 01/15/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games756 days ago

Finally, it’s back to the original vision for 4 Guys 1UP with a former developer in Amer Ajami as the special guest this week. Amer is a former editor for GameSpot, but was working as a producer on the EA’s Command & Conquer team since 2002. The 1st half of the show is spent on his history and his take on development. Amer has some interesting things to say about working conditions in relation to the recent Rockstar issues over working conditions. Amer also starts the game talk with his recent addiction to Modern Warfare 2. Sam hasn’t...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 121

by Jonathan Downin in Games756 days ago

This week’s podcast Beyond starts with news that Gran Turismo 5′s North American release date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Modern Warfare 2 has crossed the $1 billion mark and the guys would like to see its final number pitted against Avatar’s final earnings. Bishock developer 2K Boston has reverted to their original name Irrational Games, and to commemorate this lauched a new website and podcast. The Topic of the Week this week is 2010 predictions. The guys try to stay fairly specific with their thoughts so it...

The GameSpy Debriefings #109

by Jon Cole in Games762 days ago

The GameSpy Debriefings are back from their holiday break and things are back to normal. The podcast kicks off with discussion of potential names for Gerald’s twins, naturally covering which video game character names could be given to children without being completely abusive. Anthony has been playing Darksiders and gives positive impressions very reminiscent of his thoughts in the latest Rebel FM. He goes on into a little bit more detail about the story, which seems to be paper-thin and a little bit silly. Regardless of the writing, the...

Rebel FM Episode 45 – 01/01/10

by Ross Adams in Games769 days ago

In the last recorded RebelFM of ’09 Tyler Barber is missing but in his place are Bitmob‘s Greg Ford and Area 5‘s Matt Chandronait. Being the end of the year there is little new to talk about so the what you’ve been playing segment is taken up with some older releases. Greg Ford has been playing the Zelda: Minish Cap for GBA, which he has apparently been playing on and off for 2 or 3 years. Modern Warfare gets briefly discussed, exploits and balance issues being the main focus. Greg also played through Assassins Creed 2, he...

Player One Podcast: Episode 165 (12/21/09) – I think I hear my kid crying

by Ross Adams in Games781 days ago

It’s back to a four man show this week with Greg Ford returning and Greg Sewart sticking around for the whole episode. The first fairly lengthy section of the show is taken up by voicemails and listener tweets. Despite not having a lot of time to play Greg Ford has managed to get to quite a few games this week. He’s played the demos for both Bayonetta and Dante’s Inferno, his opinion of them differs greatly. He was not particularly impressed by Dante’s Inferno he felt it tried a bit too hard in some areas and there were some...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 119

by Jonathan Downin in Games785 days ago

Comics have come to the PSP, and Greg is not too excited about the high price of old issues. The Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo is now available, and the US release includes an extra mission over the Japanese release. The Gran Turismo 5 demo is due for a January release, but don’t expect any retail releases this week or next. Since it is the last real show of the year, the guys take this chance to reflect on their 2009 predictions from early in the year. It looks like Greg will come out on top, but almost everyone hit only 1 of their...

Joystiq Podcast 120 – Chewbacca Battle Chess edition

by Jon Cole in Games788 days ago

Justin McElroy is off the show this week due to some internet problems, but Ben Gilbert is in to take the third chair. Don’t fret, though, because Justin calls in early in the show to rant about Dante’s Inferno, which is decidedly a direct ripoff of God of War. On a similar note, Visceral also announced Dead Space 2 as well as the Isaac Clarke playable character in Dante’s Inferno, which is met with little surprise. Richard Mitchell also calls in, who talks about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories in the Whatcha been playin’ segment. ...
