Listen UP: 07/10/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1043 days ago

As you ca see from the covered games/topics list, this week’s episode is jam-packed.  Splosion Man was featured on this week’s 1UP game Night and it looks like a lot of fun.  It could just be one of the first games to recapture the fast 2D action of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog games. The new Tales of Monkey Island episode is getting a lot of good press.  It sounds like it captures the classic games’ sense of humor, but you can only buy all of the episodes in a package on Steam.  This seems to defeat the purpose of episodic...

Joystiq Podcast 100 – Century edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1043 days ago

Battlefield 1943 is not working too well for many people.  Apparently EA underestimated the popularity of the game so they did not allocate enough servers for online play.  How is that possible?  Hopefully it is working after they threw some more servers at the problem. The first episode of Tales of Monkey Island is out and it is good.  Some of LucasArts games have been put on Steam as well and that is a very good thing.  If you want to see more remakes of these old classics get over to Steam and buy the originals. This is a episode 100 for...

Listen UP: 06/26/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1057 days ago

Garnett and crew are back this week with a full-length edition.  Sharkey is on for the first part of this one, but he inexplicably disappears after getting pretty worked up over The Conduit.  It seems like he needed to go get some coffee if you get the drift. David has started playing through Shadow of the Collosus for the first time and he is talking about his impressions after recently finishing Ico.  If you haven’t played either of these, get a hold of a copy, you are in for a treat. Leading in with the news about Activision threatening...

Rebel FM’s Thanksgiving in July Short-tacular!

by Jonathan Downin in Games1058 days ago

The guys over at Bethesda keep cranking out the DLC for Fallout 3 and it sounds like it just keeps getting better.  Arthur has played quite a bit of it and he is enjoying it.  He is also playing the new Call of Juarez and it sounds equally entertaining. Battlefield 1943 get some love as does the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta.  There are going to be a lot of great multiplayer games this year with these and Halo ODST out this fall. Covered topics and games: Fallout 3: Point Lookout, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Overlord 2, Battlefield 1943, Uncharted...

Joystiq Podcast 094 – Just Riffin’ edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games1120 days ago

Chris made a comment over Twitter talking about the Joystiq policy of not accepting free flights or other perks from publishers in relation to CAPTIVATE09.  This garnered a lot of attention and he went on to talk about it in a post as well.  It is a completely honorable policy.  Listen in to hear the details. Mike Capps from Epic was interviewed by Chris earlier in the week and there were a lot of issues touched upon.  The biggest of these was the topic of employees being overworked and undercompensated.  He has a lot to say about it and Epic...

Good Grief: 04/06/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1138 days ago

There are some changes coming to 1UP soon and they all sound very good.  They are listening to the community and tweeking the site to include features that many have been hoping to see.  1UP has recently implemented new boards which are much cleaner and logically organized. As usual the group talks about smaller games, both free and cheap.  Want to here about a turn based RPG wrestling game for the iPhone, give this one a listen. There is an interview about the upcoming downloadable Battlefield 1943.  As a game for Xbox Live Arcade and PSN it...

Giant Bombcast 02-10-2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1193 days ago

If there are two things the Giant Bomb crew love, they are achievement points and Fable II.  I played plenty of Fable II, but these guys are on a whole other level.  Still have to go back and get those aggravating gargoyles. So many great games came out last year and hearing talk about Fallout 3 makes me want to go back to that game.  I finished the story mode, but there is so much more to do.  Unfortunately the PS3 version isn’t getting any DLC.  Maybe biting the bullet and re-buying it on PC wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Almost...

Command Prompt Podcast, Episode 35

by Jonathan Downin in Games1193 days ago

The news of Battlefield 1943 is really interesting.  It’s basically a prettied up Battlefield 1942, which is not a bad thing, and it’s coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network along with the PC release at $20.  This is a lot of value, especially if you never gave the original a go. Dragon Age for PC being delayed to coincide with the console release is causing quite an upstir with the PC crowd.  The concern is that this means it is being dumbed down and won’t be the hardcore PC RPG successor to Balder’s Gate...
