Giant Bombcast 12-14-2010

by Ross Adams in Games, Podcasts422 days ago

The regular crew are joined by Popcap’s own Jeff Green for this weeks Bombcast. Some general conversation kicks off the show as usual, some of which of course focuses on Jeff Greens move from EA to Popcap. The free Doritos games released on XBLA this week start the game talk, Harm’s Way gets quickly written off but the Wipeout inspired Crash Course gets heaps of praise. Vinny and Ryan played some Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit together, with Ryan playing a whole lot more on his own. They love the game, they note that the autolog social...

Weekend Confirmed

Weekend Confirmed Episode 27

by Peter Barta in Games498 days ago

The band is back together again and they waste no time getting into heavy gaming industry concepts and lots of dense conversation.  Jeff starts off Whatcha Been Playin by praising Civilization 5 (again).  Garnett recaps a few of the games he played at TGS, including The Third Birthday, Ni no Kuni, and Valkyria Chronicles (2 and 3!).  Batman: The Brave and the Bold gets a little attention as well; apparently it brings the whimsy.  Halo: Reach commands a bit of time before Cannata-ford.  Jeff’s recommendation is Baldur’s Gate, while...

Rebel FM Episode 74 – 09/02/10

by Alex Martin in Games524 days ago

Rebel FM is intact this week, but sans-Jeff Green. The newly-unemployed writer is on a podcast tour but couldn’t make an expected appearance. Matt starts the game talk with Civilization 4: Warlords. He’s got tips on how to win a cultural victory. Anthony and Tyler have been playing a fantasy-themed Civ — Elemental: War of Magic. Circumstances converged to force it to launch broken, and it is so inaccessible Stardock are to patch in a tutorial. Despite its significant flaws, both are loving it. Tyler calls Mafia 2 a “linear...

Even though I’m a couple weeks late due to poor living conditions and yes, pure laziness, Happy 5th Anniversary to DGR! Here’s to 5 more years if your livers last that long. Moe is out this week so friend of the show RykerXL fills in quite seamlessly. A shorter than usual show kicks off as always with Drunk Dials and the mailbag. John and Hilden take the time to remind listeners about the Deathsmiles contest they have going on that they have received no entries for so far. A short games segment this week features City Builder for the...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 12: The Silken Goku

by Jonathan Downin in Games549 days ago

First up is Civilization V and it is probably fair to say that Chris is totally into it (and of course he is– already towing the company line). He points to the overall tone of the game as achieving a grandness that is absent in almost all other games. Steve takes some time to talk about the forthcoming Bioshock 2 DLC that has been occupying his time recently, and then the conversation moves to the PSP. StarCraft 2 talk is rampant again this week, but the focus is on the story and presentation this time around. The guys have a lot of good...

Podcast Beyond: Batman Returns

by Jon Cole in Games552 days ago

This week’s show starts off with a quick story about a Dance Dance Revolution competition between IGN editors and their readers. After that, things proceed into the Roper Report to talk about the announcement of Batman: Arkham City as well as the game’s beautiful Game Informer cover. Also in the news is the unfortunate news that Playstation Plus updates will be scaled back to a biweekly schedule, which makes it harder to recommend from even the most dedicated Sony fans. Regardless, Colin still finds the service worthwhile, with a year...

Rebel FM

Rebel FM Episode 70 – 07/30/10

by Alex Martin in Games558 days ago

StarCraft 2 commands the first segment, with Ryan O’Donnell (Area 5) joining the regular crew. Everyone except Tyler has played and enjoyed it and they have little but praise for the Mass Effect-like breaks between missions, the accessibility, and the ambient occlusion. After a break, they talk about the other games they’ve been playing recently. Ryan’s played a handful of iPad and iPod games — Osmos HD, Monkey Island 2, Helsing’s Fire, Aqua Moto Racing, and Archetype — all of which sound like they’re worth...

Joystiq Podcast 133 – Suppervillains edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games671 days ago

Mass Effect 2 has seen the release of its first paid DLC pack in Kasumi – Stolen Memory, and the final word is that it is just okay and not a great value proposition. After a bit of discussion about the lackluster moments in God of War III, the guys move on to Final Fantasy XIII and even more frustrations. We now know that the reveal announcement of Gears of War 3 was meant to happen on Thursday night due to a reveal banner accidentally going up on Xbox Live on Friday morning. Someone forgot to flip a switch due to the change in schedule,...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 3

by Jonathan Downin in Games671 days ago

Special guest, Billy Berghammer, kicks-off the game talk with Final Fantasy XIII and his opinions are in line with most people’s commentary. Jeff is excited to talk about the iPad, and Brian gets in on the discussion since he picked one up as well. They are both quite excited about Apple’s new tablet and they touch on some of their gaming experiences. This leads into a discussion about the prospects for Sony and Nintendo’s upcoming handhelds. After a section about affordable games, the group moves on to a another new segment that...

Player One Podcast – Episode 176 (03/08/10) – Is It Martika That Sang That Song?

by Ross Adams in Games705 days ago

Phil is out this week so it’s a 3 man show, with Greg Ford taking on hosting duties for the first time. Only a few games discussed this week as everyone has only played a couple each. Greg Sewart finished his Heavy Rain story, his thoughts from last week stand. He now looks forward to discussing the game with other people just to hear how their stories and actions differ. CJ picked up Sonic & Sega All-stars Racing and by all accounts it’s a very solid Mario Kart clone.The nostalgia/fanservice seems to be a big factor too. Greg Ford...

The Geekbox: Episode 54

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV715 days ago

With the UGO redesign over and his vacation complete, Mike Cruz finally returns to the Geekbox to talk about… Old Spice commercials and green screening.  Fortunately, Burn Notice talk comes up next and Fitch deals some dirt on a potential steamy relationship with Michael Westen and a relatively new character. Ryan Scott has been playing P.B. Winterbottom, a highly stylized puzzle game that is built upon time-shifting mechanics reminiscent of Braid.  Running on Xbox Live for only 800 points, Ryan thinks the game is worth far more than that...

at1UP: 02/23/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games, TV716 days ago

Get ready for some Olympics updates at the beginning because Mike has deemed at1UP “the official Winter Olympics podcast of 1UP.” The 1UP cover story this week is Final Fantasy XIII and Tina is on to talk about a contest to win a poster of art from the game. Matt Leone has released another episode of Backstage which covers the making of BioShock 2 and Game Night is delayed until Friday for some special StarCraft 2 action. Travis finished Mass Effect 2 and proceeds to baffle Tina as to how a person can play “long” RPGs. Mike...

Player One Podcast – Episode 174 (02/22/10) – The One Where We Never Get to What’cha Been Playing

by Ross Adams in Games717 days ago

Sega’s Ethan Einhorn sits in for Greg Ford this week and as a result the show takes on a rather different format than usual, although that wasn’t the plan. An attempt to start the what you been playing segment leads to very brief discussion of BioShock 2 and Heavy Rain with much of the feeling from last weeks show being echoed. Quickly however the show begins the first many tangents as the guys start telling stories from back in their Ziff Davis days. Tales of prank phone calls to Gamestop and funny stories about fanboy managers follow. Most...

Joystiq Podcast 128 – BioShock 3 edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games720 days ago

It’s a packed week for the Joystiq boys. Justin starts off with a complete trashing of Heavy Rain. He says the story is awful and the acting is equally bad. Chris and Ludwig haven’t played too much of it yet, but they aren’t disagreeing with his assessments. BioShock 2 is still on the guys’ minds and they are still positive on the game. There seems to be some wonkiness with the Mass Effect DLC that causes problems when resuming games if you are not connected to Xbox Live. The StarCraft 2 beta and Civilization V garner no...

CO-OP Live: Bioshock 2 and X10 Previews

by Derek Lavigne in Games722 days ago

Week 2 of the live show brings a few changes as Area5 settles in to their new format. The packed couch is gone, replaced with individual chairs which still doesn’t feel quite right. Jay and Matt are up first to discuss Bioshock 2 while Ryan sifts through twitter questions to be asked at the latter part of the segment instead of lumping them at the tail end of of the show. As a whole, they don’t seem to have much negative to say about the game, citing improved sound, combat, and a changed environment. Matt does mention he wished the underwater...
