Mobcast 55: Sympathetic Villains, Embarrassing Game Stories, and Memorable Marketing

by Alex Martin in Games627 days ago

Aaron takes the reins of the Mobcast this week with Bitmob editors Brett and Demian joining the bandwagon. Writer Omri Petitte also makes his debut. First, Aaron asks the table if there is a correct way to play a game. The consensus is that so long as you’re having fun then you’re doing it right, but Aaron’s problem of how to approach reviewing a game remains. Demian asks what franchises could benefit from a free-to-play model. A lot of the suggestions are of RPG franchises — as Demian says, there’s a tonne of potential...

Three Red Lights Podcast Episode 137

by Jonathan Downin in Games716 days ago

Three Red Lights is back in more ways than one. They somehow managed to talk the higher-ups into letting them go back to their roots and head into the lands of the explicit– and it is glorious. X10 talk is riddled with impressions with the guys touching on Fable III and Alan Wake. The latter sounds like it is among the crews’ more anticipated games. The forthcoming Borderlands DLC gets a lot of discussion and Nate wants to play Dante’s Inferno since God of war 3 is still a ways away. The improvements to to Major League Baseball...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 152: Rambly Wandering

by Ross Adams in Games, Movies, TV724 days ago

In the past the TRS guys suggested Benicio Del Toro could be a real life wolfman but that doesn’t seem to have been transferred to the screen. Disappointment all round for The Wolfman, the style of the film gets the most praise with the guys enjoying the old school vibe. There’s some excitement at the prospect of Darren Aronofsky remaking Robocop. While they aren’t fans of the remake heavy climate there is some hope that Aronofsky could bring something interesting to the story of Robocop. God of War with extra boobs is how the...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast 1: THE GREAT GATLING-GUNSBY

by Jon Cole in Games728 days ago

If you’ve somehow missed the word on the virtual street, Idle Thumbs is back, reanimated in the form of the “Idle Thumbs Podcast” starring Chris Remo, Jake Rodkin, and Steve “Hot Scoops” Gaynor. With Steve’s work on Bioshock 2 dominating the last few months of his life, Jake talks very briefly about his recent playthrough of Bioshock and Chris discusses his time with System Shock 2 at length. For more of Chris’s thoughts, check out the most recent Idle Thumbs blog post. Mass Effect 2 has been tightly in focus for the gaming...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 16

by Derek Lavigne in Games729 days ago

First on tap this week is a discussion on the recently released Dante’s Inferno. Jeff Marchiafava and Phil Kollar, who both reviewed the game, are sitting in on this segment and spend most of the segment giving more insight into their scoring of the game. Jeff tries to reiterate the seemingly obvious that a 7 does not make the game terrible, although it seems that has been falling on deaf messageboard ears. Andy Reiner speaks up to disagree with the pair and says he has been enjoying the game so far, but Phil gives a few good reasons why the...

The HotSpot 02/09/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games731 days ago

Some serious love for BioShock 2 starts that discussion this week. The opinions fall on both sides, but the phrase ‘better than the first one’ is uttered several times. Dante’s Inferno doesn’t fair nearly as well with the guys labeling it as a complete direct rip of God of War. Sonic 4 doesn’t inspire much positivity either. Xbox Live service for the original Xbox is coming to an end and the indifference it palpable. A PSP iteration of the forthcoming PS3 racer, ModNation Racers, has been announced and the crew worries...

CastMedium Podcast 023 – 02.08.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech733 days ago

It is a 2 man show this week with Erik out due to internet issues. Jon and I start this one with some skepticism about CO-OP moving to a live format. That leads into a discussion about the new EGM and Jon is ready to subscribe. Indifference about Dante’s Inferno kicks off the games segment, but we quickly move onto BioShock 2. No pre-orders have been placed yet, but we both admit that we will probably make the Steam purchase rather soon. Android finally gets multitouch and the Edge of Darkness may not be Lethal Weapon or Payback, but it still...

Rebel FM Episode 50 – 02/04/10

by Ross Adams in Games734 days ago

Anthony just finished reviewing MAG, he doesn’t think it’s particularly great. The feeling seems to be that it’s just oddly designed in places and the hook of 256 players doesn’t impact the game in an especially meaningful way. He also got to check out Metro 2033, although it shows the limitations of its budget Anthony thinks it has a certain charm. Having the author of the book it is based on helping with the game could certainly give it a richer fiction than most games of its kind. Arthur has been playing alot of the Bad...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 151

by Jonathan Downin in Games735 days ago

Mass Effect 2 fever continues with Greg calling it “better than Uncharted 2.” As a staunch supporter of the PS3, this is a pretty huge deal. Dante’s Inferno got a 7.5 from IGN and the Scoop! guys say that it is worth picking up if all you have is an Xbox 360, if you have a PS3, the word is to wait for God of War 3. The Grinder, the lastest game from the team that brought us The Conduit, is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 and will use motion controls. Sonic 4 and Fallout: New Vegas receive hopeful comments. After another edition...

The GameSpy Debriefings #113

by Jon Cole in Games735 days ago

The Gamespy crew is trimmed to Anthony, Miggels and Gerald this week, ultimately resulting in a much leaner podcast. Dante’s Inferno starts off the show, a game which turns out to be not only similar to God of War in its positive attributes but also follows the negative aspects of the classic eastern-style action game. Frustrating puzzles mixed inelegantly with combat sequences harken back to Anthony’s controller throwing moments of God of War II, so excitement for Dante’s Inferno is quite tempered. The Fallout: New Vegas teaser hit the...

Three Red Lights Podcast Episode 136

by Jonathan Downin in Games736 days ago

Three Red Lights is back after a short hiatus and it is feels true to form with Erik back in the hosting seat. Some Lost fun starts the cast and then the guys move onto Dante’s Inferno. While it doesn’t sound like the guys have been blown away by the game, they say that the actual quality doesn’t warrant a lot of the negative reactions that it has been receiving. Bioshock 2 is less than a week away and the inclusion of a narrative-based multiplayer has the guys wondering if it is necessary. Mass Effect 2 gets an obligatory mention...

Rebel FM Episode 49 – 01/29/10

by Ross Adams in Games741 days ago

Assassins Creed 2′s first bit of DLC was released this week, guest Ryan O’Donnell and Arthur have both been playing it. While they agree it’s disappointing they both recommend picking it up because the low price for more Assassins Creed 2 content seems like a no-brainer. Arthur briefly touches on Dante’s Inferno, he is not sure of his feelings on it yet but hopes to talk about it more next week. Arthur played some of the 360 demo for Battlefield Bad Company 2, he says there is a definite learning curve when it comes to the...

Mobcast Episode 36

by Jon Cole in Games759 days ago

Joe Dodson and Kristin Reilly join the Mobcast this week, resulting in yet another mini-Gamespot reunion for fans of the good old days. The first topic of the week asks the crew what they’d consider some of their greatest gaming achievements. Greg Ford chimes in with a common, yet notorious one of completing the Facility level of Goldeneye within a strict time limit. Mature topics in games have been well tread by both the press and gaming community but the Mobcast has a few interesting points to add to the discussion. The topic of strategy...

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

by Ross Adams in Games781 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...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 166

by Jon Cole in Games786 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...
