GWJ Conference Call Episode 170

by Jonathan Downin in Games856 days ago

2010 means a new theme song for the GWJ, and it’s quite catchy. Darksiders start the discussion this week and the opinions are somewhat mixed. A GWJ classic, The Hunter, makes a comeback and the addition of a bow reinvigorates the love for hours of waiting in the brush. Bayonetta wasn’t stoking any fires in the GWJ’s gaming loving hearts a few weeks ago, but things have changed and Cory is completely in love with the game. Borderlands is also returning with Sean enjoying his experience much more with the PC version. The guys go...

Giant Bombcast 01-12-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games857 days ago

The Bombcast crew is extra loopy this week due to a rare morning recording which provides for some hilarity before moving into games they have been playing. Vinny spent the majority of his weekend playing Dragon Age: Origins and is still hungry to play more even after more than 80 hours. Jeff has been spending time recently finishing up Darksiders for review and reinforces how unabashedly it takes from Zelda, although like most, doesn’t think that is a bad thing. Brad seems to be stuck in some type of time warp as his Fallout 3 play clock...

Player One Podcast – Episode 168 (01/11/10) – I say we let him go

by Ross Adams in Games858 days ago

Last weeks best of the decade show bleeds over into this weeks episode as listeners tweet in their personal picks. With CES taking place this past week 3D tech is on everyones mind, the guys aren’t convinced it will take off in the home but are at least intrigued. The backlash toward Microsoft game room surprised everyone as they think it sounds like a pretty cool idea. More lists take up the second part of the show, this time the crew are listing off their Top 5 games of 2009. Aside from Phil’s inclusion of Pokemon Rumble there’s...

Joystiq Podcast 122 – iGUGU Gamecore edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games861 days ago

Chris is covering CES this week, so he misses the 1st half of the show, but Griffin is sitting in. Ludwig starts things off with some hate for Rogue Warrior and Bayonetta’s ridiculous story. Justin chimes in with a strong recommendation for Silent Hill: Shattered Memories which seems to be constantly receiving good word of mouth. Griffin shares his experience with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and it was not exactly positive. Chris joins the cast and Microsoft’s recently announced Xbox Live Game Room receives some discussion. As...

Rebel FM 46 — 01/06/10

by Ross Adams in Games861 days ago

Despite barely being able to talk Anthony manages give his fairly positive thoughts on Darksiders. He feels like it may have been poorly represented in previews and at events that made it seem like more of a brawler than it is. Tyler has played a few hours of Bayonetta, he thinks there are some really small smart design choices that have added to his enjoyment. Most of the show is taken up with replies to this weeks listener question, which asked for listeners gaming resolutions for 2010. Unsurprisingly a lot of replies involve dealing with gaming...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 120

by Jonathan Downin in Games862 days ago

The Beyonders are back in 2010. Releases kick things off and Darksiders takes the Pick of the Week since Bayonetta is in very poor shape in its PS3 release. The port seems to have been botched on all fronts and makes Ryan, who loved the game on Xbox 360, almost unable to say that it is even worth getting if all you have is a PS3. Roper, as the resident tech-head, talks a little bit about this year’s CES. Sony didn’t have too much to say on the gaming front, but they did focus heavily on 3D (the 3D glasses kind). No one in the Beyond...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 12

by Derek Lavigne in Games862 days ago

After a break for the holidays Matt Helgeson is back hosting the show and welcomes Joe Juba, Matt Miller and Annette Gonzalez to discuss the recent release of Bayonetta. For the most part, the whole group feels the game is great experience. They describe it as a more fluid and fast moving Devil May Cry that actually requires some skill beyond the normal button-mashing. Annette makes it clear which side of the empowering or exploitative controversy by stating that Bayonetta is her hero. Being the only one who hadn’t played it, Matt H. questions...

The HotSpot 01/05/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games864 days ago

The HotSpot is back after the holiday break and Bayonetta starts both the year’s big releases and the podcast discussion. The reception is pretty positive all around, but the story seems to fall into the realm of the unintelligible. Darksiders also gets a few kind words and seems to be shaping up to be more than a simple God of War clone. Another entry to the Def Jam series is coming to the PSP, and Brendan Sinclair and Kevin VanOrd read from the script of the game in place of ESRB ratings theater. There are some great 1-liners here. The guys...

4 Guys 1UP: 12/25/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games875 days ago

Christmas has come and gone, but David still managed to put out a show. It is a 2 man affair this week with the holidays making it difficult to bring in a special guest and the regulars out of the office, but GamePro‘s John Davison is on. John kicks things off with an update about what is happening at GamePro and how the WhatThePlay situation played out. This leads into a review of the year in games. Bayonetta gets some time, and the guys move into talking about Q1 releases. Prediction for 2010 take up the last half of the show. The guys are...

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

by Ross Adams in Games879 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...

4 Guys 1UP: 12/18/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games880 days ago

There aren’t that many games covered this week, but the games that are, get a serious amount of time. Mass Effect 2 kicks things off, and the guys are not shying away from spoiler, but David does announce the time-stamps before the spoilers begin. It sounds like a lot has changed from the first one, and the tech is much improved. Heavy Rain also gets a ton of time since Matt has played a significant amount of the game. The games seems somewhat divisive, but it may just culminate into something truly fresh. With the 2 big games out of the way,...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 166

by Jon Cole in Games884 days ago

At the top of the show, the Gamers with Jobs tackle the demos of Dante’s Inferno and Bayonetta, with the glaring consensus being that the former is nearly blasphemous and the latter is completely misogynistic. The crew wonders if these problems are just a shameless practice of “playing to the base”, but Shawn thinks that the hardcore crowd is actually increasingly defensive or prudish of such basal portrayals. The main topic for this week is arrogance and trolling in forums. Since Shawn is a moderator on the GWJ forums, it seems like this...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 165

by Jonathan Downin in Games891 days ago

Things kick-off with Lego Indiana Jones 2 which sounds like it is the best entry in the series yet, and actually has a rather innovative split-screen execution in multiplayer. Dragon Age continues to entertain, as does New Super Mario Bros.Wii. The Left 4 Dead 2 discussion makes a comeback and the opinion here is that the game is quite difficult, but not so much as to diminish the fun. Talk of gaming on the road comes up with a couple of guys traveling a lot lately, and the consensus is that they are more likely to reach for the laptop over other...

Joystiq Podcast 119 – Simply2Chaotic edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games895 days ago

Justin has been playing the Saboteur, and he calls it a “mix of Assassin’s Creed II, Mercenaries 2 and GTAV put together, if they were made 5 years ago.” This is not exactly a ringing endorsement, but he feels like there is some fun to be had. Ludwig gave the Bayonetta demo a go and he is enjoying its ridiculous action. There is also yet more love for Assassin’s Creed II and word of DLC in January. There is a new Medal of Honor on the way, but Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is the forthcoming sequel that spurs real...

The HotSpot 11/10/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games920 days ago

If you are looking for Modern Warfare 2 discussion, you will have to wait. Since there is a lot to cover on MW2, the GameSpot guys are going to be releasing a special, spoiler-filled podcast completely dedicated to the game on Thursday. Since Lark got his hands on an import copy, Bayonetta is up first this week. He doesn’t provide too much insight outside of what is already known, but there are a few minor details. Some of the guys have seen the Prince of Persia trailer and this leads into a discussion about Jake Gyllenhaal and other game/comic-related...
