Behind the Screened Door 01-25-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies477 days ago

Gary Whitta wanders in from the Tested side of the office to be a guest on this week’s Behind the Screened Door, primarily showing up to discuss the Oscar nominations. First off, the guys talk about how the ten nominations for best picture are far more appropriate in this year of movies, due to the huge pool of fantastic films with many that people have actually heard of. The King’s Speech and The Social Network are clearly the front-runners of the pack, though Alex and Gary agree that Inception may be the reasonable, populist pick. Colin...

Giant Bombcast 01-25-2011

by Ross Adams in Games478 days ago

Ryan is out with an injury this week so Jeff takes up the hosting duties. Brad and Vinny are a bit mistrusting at first however after being duped into appearing on Jeff’s other podcast. Brad starts off the game talk with Dead Space 2, which he can finally talk about in more detail. Thankfully he doesn’t go into too much detail other than to say it’s an exceptionally made game which isn’t overly different to the first Dead Space. Lots of small tweaks and additions to the gameplay and UI make for an impressive sequel. He also...

Engadget Podcast 230 – 01.24.2011

by Jon Cole in Games, Tech478 days ago

This week’s Engadget Podcast unsurprisingly starts with the news that Steve Jobs is sidelining himself for medical reasons, leaving Tim Cook in his place. In other Apple-related news, the company managed to push through an extremely successful quarter with huge profits probably stemming from unprecedented iPad adoption. HP/Palm has finally made their move on the tablet arena, with their plans going public in another one of Engadget’s comprehensive exclusive scoops. The 9-inch “Topaz” and the 7-inch “Opal” look...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Dead Space 2 Review

by Jon Cole in Games480 days ago

This week, the Scoop! crew finally gets a chance to talk about Dead Space 2 after weeks of fist shaking at EA’s embargo. Navigation is one of the most immediate changes to the Dead Space formula, as the cumbersome map of the first game is discarded for a glowing path on demand to the closest point of interest. Additionally, the melee and stomp attacks are far more effective, spicing up the gameplay and making it easier to verify that a necromorph is finally finished off. Nintendo’s 3DS event was the other big piece of news this week,...

Player One Podcast – Episode 222 (01/24/11) – Three Twos, Ten-Four

by Ross Adams in Games480 days ago

The guys hit some news items at the top of the show, starting with the recent information about the 3DS launch. Everyone but Ford is pretty much set on getting the console when it launches, even though they admit there’s no real must have games releasing alongside it. The tech itself and the various features the machine itself offer (3D video and augmented reality for example) seem enough to impress the guys. Steam coming to Ps3 with Portal 2 is also briefly touched upon, with it potentially effecting which platform the Player One crew gets...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 223

by Jon Cole in Games485 days ago

The second half of the GWJ crew mans the show this week, with Cory starting things off with some Rabbit-esque board game talk. 1960: The Making of the President has sated his appetite for a chunky, deep board game, offering a three hour game in his anecdotal last session. Lara dives into her backlog to drag the show into video games, spilling the beans on Ghost Trick. She spells out the interesting premise of the game and the gameplay reminiscent of Phoenix Wright. HD collections round out Games You Can Play Right Now, focusing on The Sly Collection...

Giant Bombcast 01-18-2011

by Ross Adams in Games485 days ago

Vinny is out this week so Alex Navarro steps into the empty chair, the guys also haven’t been playing alot of games so it’s a more news heavy show than usual. Alex played some Raskulls and although he doesn’t seem to feel too strongly about it he had fun with it. Jeff played a significant amount of DC Universe Online and is not a fan, the PS3 version especially isn’t particularly well made in alot of ways. The menus haven’t been streamlined for consoles and the game itself often runs at a less than ideal framerate....

Engadget Podcast 229 – 01.16.2011

by Jon Cole in Tech485 days ago

Nilay is out for this episode of the Engadget Podcast, so Automotive Editor Tim Stevens joins the show. The Verizon iPhone is easily the biggest piece of news, though it seems to fall a little flat after a huge buildup of hype. VZW’s insistence that their network can support the device and their offering of mobile hotspot functionality does seem to differentiate them from AT&T, but it remains to be seen if there’s a particularly good reason to switch immediately. Apple news continues with some insights into the iPad 2 and future...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Is DC Universe Good or Evil?

by Jon Cole in Games487 days ago

As a devoted Game Scooper, Greg takes a break from his day off to join this week’s show and talk about his time with DC Universe Online. He’s pushed nearly all the way to the level cap of 30 and has been satisfied all the way through, though he does note that much of the office lies more on the negative side of things. Ryan in particular talks about the rough start to the game, not offering a lot of narrative hooks into the exciting core superhero universe as well as poor user interface. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has excited almost...

Player One Podcast – Episode 221 (01/17/11) – Still Enjoying Last Year’s Games

by Ross Adams in Games487 days ago

With no big releases to speak of so far this year the Player One guys are mostly focusing on talking about games from the end of last year and beyond. Phil starts off by talking about Raskulls, a game from Halfbrick that incorporates a Mr Driller style of gameplay, so it’s no real surprise he loves it. He does say his Mr Driller experience does mean he gets thrown off by the speedy aspect of Raskulls gameplay. Sewart has been playing Donkey Kong Country Returns and was finding it hard to put it down, he’s really enjoying the variety...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 222

by Jon Cole in Games488 days ago

Shawn starts off this week’s Conference Call with some excitement for Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, focusing on the Autolog feature that seems to take leaderboards to the next level. Cory dove into Super Meat Boy recently, recognizing the somewhat interesting nature of the short bursts of combat repeated as the challenging nature comes more and more into play. The “Games You Can Play Right Now” segment wraps up with some renewed interest in Mass Effect 2 due to various Game of the Year awards across the board. While CES 2011 has...

Active Time Babble XXIX: Kindom Hearts & The 2011 Preview

by Ross Adams in Games490 days ago

It’s a new year so Kat Bailey decides to try something a little different for this first Active Time Babble of 2011. The first segment of the show is a solo affair with Kat talking about some games she thinks might not get alot of attention. Kingdom Hearts Re:coded and Super Robot Taisen Z2 are the games for this first go round, she also fielded questions from twitter regarding the games so this segment is mostly Kat answering said questions. The idea behind this part of the show is solid and Kat handles it well. Kat is joined by Thierry “Scooter”...

Behind the Screened Door 01-10-2011

by Jon Cole in Movies, TV492 days ago

Comic Vine’s Tony Guerrero joins this week’s Behind the Screened Door, guiding the opening of the show towards comic book fare with some talk about The Cape. All of the guys watched the pilot episode and seemed mostly unimpressed, pointing out the various plot holes, overly dramatic scenes, and lack of solid characterization for the titular character. Alex capitalizes on Tony’s appearance early in the show to cover some comic related news, including the idea of a Wonder Woman television show and the most promising comic film of...

Giant Bombcast 01-11-2011

by Ross Adams in Games492 days ago

Jeff Gertsmann returns this week, with tales of go karting during his break. Before any game talk Vinny and Ryan discuss the movie Predators that they recently watched. Which leads onto a discussion of what Predator society might be like, surely there has be be an Costumer Service Predator? Brad regrets bringing up Tron: Evolution again as he learns it inevitably leads to discussion of Tron: Evolution which the guys agree is a bad game that could easily have been much better. Vinny talks about his varying emotions in relation to Dead Rising 2, he...

Player One Podcast – Episode 220 (01/10/11) – Thrusting and Rubbing

by Ross Adams in Games494 days ago

This weeks episode of the Player One Podcast was filmed in front of a live studio audience. In what may be a regular occurence this weeks episode was live streamed, as such there are a few references to said stream and the chat that went with it. CJ kicks off the game talk with Assassins Creed Brotherhood, although he has played a bit of Assassins Creed 2 it didn’t grab him so he skipped over it. Brotherhood however has grabbed him, it reminds him of the original Crackdown with it’s many hidden things around the enviroment. He also...
