Giant Bombcast

Giant Bombcast 01-05-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games864 days ago

A new year with the Bombcast picks up right where it left off in the previous year, with tales of ridiculous holiday break hijinks. Vinny and Jeff each take their turn solemnly calculating the massive amounts of money they spent on games they will never play during the Steam holiday sale (something Giant Bomb shares with CastMedium). Brad took the break to finally dive into Fallout 3 while he wasn’t eating fried chicken and Ryan played a bunch of Borderlands with Jeff. A busy week for news to kick off the new year with the guys discussing...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 146: Potpourrat

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV865 days ago

It’s a “top 5″ extravaganza this week with the guys presenting their lists of top 5 movies, games, TV and moments of 2009. After each present their top 5, an overall top pick is chosen. Movies are up-front as always, and it is pretty easy to guess which film took top honors– something about being “moved by triumph.” The games section is a little more contentious with a rather wide range of games represented, but it is a clear choice in the end. TV is a strange one as there are very few repeat entries on the guys’...

Mobcast

Mobcast Episode 33

by Jon Cole in Games886 days ago

John Davison joins the Mobcast, hitting it off by lending some insight into Jason Wilson’s question of whether or not we’re actually having fun while playing games.  Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin’s Creed 2 have provoked some conversation about mature storylines, graphical fidelity, and other technical aspects, but the guys try to tackle why talk strays so often from the simple idea of fun. Game of the Year comes up next, with John pondering the validity of some choices due to an inherent concern for credibility. Aaron also brings up how...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 145

by Jonathan Downin in Games889 days ago

The November NPDs are at the front this week and there is nothing too shocking. The games industry is down over last year, but the guys point-out that other sectors in the entertainment market are down as well. It is notable that Tony Hawk Ride sold over 100k units despite the horrible reviews though. Dead Space 2 has been confirmed to have multiplayer, but Daemon has a difficult time getting anyone excited about the news. Borderlands 2nd DLC pack has been announced, and Greg has been having some trouble getting PSP minis working on his PS3 with...

The Rebel FM Juneteenth Special!

by Ross Adams in Games903 days ago

It’s a “Juneteenth” holiday special this week, which essentially means a slightly shorter podcast than usual. Tyler starts off what you’ve been playing with what he hasn’t been playing, as his Xbox 360′s disc drive has scratched his Assassins Creed 2 disc to the point that it’s unreadable. He has been playing a lot of games that are part of the IGF. Tyler has moved on from Captain Forever, to the follow-up Captain Successor. He is enjoying it, but he feels Captain Forever (which is now free) is probably the...

Mobcast Episode 28

by Jon Cole in Games921 days ago

The sweet sounds of a new opening theme song flow into your ear canals at the top of this week’s Mobcast, finally brought to a resolution after the whole submission flush fiasco.  The first topic for this week is 3D gaming, which seems to get unanimous praise amidst cautious optimism due to the high price point of entry. A conversation about gaming pet peeves brings up some real game design issues that seem to plague the industry for no good reason.  Guest Jay Frechette talks about lazy backtracking and monster closets, which are issues that...

Good Grief: 11/09/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games921 days ago

It’s the last episode of Good Grief. With its erratic schedule, it’s not too surprising. After the downer of the issues surrounding Modern Warfare 2, the group moves onto Tom Morello and his explosion onto the gaming scene with some leaked Halo Reach screens. Sam shares some thoughts about thee PS3 implementation of Netflix and it seems to work fine. Tina is enjoying Ratchet & Clank, which Sharkey somehow deems bottom-of-the-barrel for game mechanics. In recession gaming, the group is talking about Miami Shark, a game that allows...

Drunken Gamers Radio 11-07-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games921 days ago

Another early episode of DGR this week brings us a very inebriated Moe, who honestly makes this episode fairly difficult to listen to. As usual a drunk dial and mailbag segment starts off the show. A couple of emails challenge the DGR crew’s apprehension to Forza 3 having a second disc that needs to be installed, which they proceed to defend. Reviews this week contain a pair of download only games with Silent Swords for the iPhone and Pinball Pulse for DSiWare. Hilden feels that Silent Swords is interesting, but some mechanics could have been...

4 Guys 1UP

4 Guys 1UP: 11/06/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games923 days ago

Episode 2 of 4 Guys 1UP is immediately high energy with newly appointed Editor-in-Chief of www.ea.com, Jeff Green, as the special guest this week. Things start off with Jeff hitting on a plethora of topics, all centered around his transition from press to development to PR/corporate online content master. A lot of this is treaded ground, but Jeff is entertaining as always. The solid game talk doesn’t start until the 1:20:00 minute mark though. Moving into games, Jeff talks about recent tent-pole PC releases Torchlight, Borderlands and Dragon...

Rebel FM Episode 39 – 11/05/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games924 days ago

This week’s cast kicks off with Left 4 Dead 2, but quickly moves on to Modern Warfare 2 and the group, with guest Tina Sanchez, spend over 30 minutes discussing the various recent developments surrounding the game. The overall tone is rather negative, with the limits on the PC and Xbox multiplayer modes and the recent controversial video being cited. Tyler and Arthur both state they will not be picking up the game in light of these issues. Tyler has been playing GTA IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony and has nothing but praise for the game. Borderlands...

Giant Bombcast 11-03-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games926 days ago

With Vinny out on assignment, friend of the show Jared Rea sits in on the podcast to bring a wave of fighting and music games to the table. After a lengthy Tekken 6 discussion, Jeff talks about his evil impulse buy of DJ Hero: Renegade Edition and having to explain it even to the employees he purchased it from. Brad quickly discusses his loot addition swapping between Borderlands and Torchlight. Jared dives back into some more obscure fighting game tournaments as well as Forza 3, which Jeff has also been playing since some good Giant Bomb logos...

Drunken Gamers Radio 10-30-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games927 days ago

An early episode of Drunken Gamers Radio this week starts off, as always, with a mailbag segment. A lot of emails this week bring in great drinking stories. Another listener continues the bashing of Jessica Chobot from last week. Reviews this week start off with Forza 3, which Moe loves and Hilden thinks it’s unforgivable that there is a mandatory install. Up next is the new Ratchet and Clank game, which everyone seems to love. The retro review for the week is Sonic 3D blast, which Hilden doesn’t seem to love, but thinks it is worth...

CO-OP – Episode 303: Halloween

by Jonathan Downin in Games927 days ago

iPhone games are up first this week with a focus on the rhythm genre. The iPhone has always been a good platform for this type of game, and with the recent release of Rock Band, it is only getting better. In addition to Rock Band, Jason and Matt discuss Guitar Rock 2 and the Tap Tap Revenge series. Jay and Ryan are talking about Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time and Ryan found himself having a good time after getting past the slow-burn opening. While the tone is positive overall, the consensus is that Insomniac needs to do something new with...

CastMedium Podcast 010 – 11.02.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech928 days ago

10 episodes in and still going strong. 1UP podcast news starts the cast off again this week with the at1UP interview with David Ellis about his new 4 Guys 1UP podcast, and the new RPG-centric Active Time Babble from Kat Baily and Jeremy Parish. There were a lot of happenings in games over the past week, and Jon kicks things off with his Torchlight experience, and Jeff Gerstmann level addiction to Borderlands. Erik gives the thumbs-up to GTAIV: The Ballad of Gay Tony, and we are all baffled by the disc-required Netflix PS3 announcement. Demon’s...

Drunken Gamers Radio 10-23-09

by Derek Lavigne in Games933 days ago

A drunker than usual DGR crew warns us that it is very late and they may not make much sense this episode as they have been up late finishing the ZomBOOsical. A email from Australia gives the guys more details about how much it sucks to live there as a gamer as everything is incredibly expensive. The reviews segment is packed this week with downloadable titles Rock Band for the iPhone and Trine for PSN starting things off. Hilden has been playing a lot of Borderlands for the 360 and says he loves the loot factor. The retro review for the week is...
