Giant Bombcast 02-01-2011

by Ross Adams in Games372 days ago

A slight worse for wear Ryan returns to the hosting chair this week. Vinny quickly starts the game talk with Dead Rising 2, which he has gone back to once again. This time he has purchased some of the DLC costumes and weapons which make things alot easier. He sounds like he’s going through the game more to check it off his list rather than out of enjoyment. There’s alot of Dead Space talk, with Ryan playing through Dead Space 1 while Jeff and Brad have just finished the sequel. With lots of media surrounding the Dead Space fiction, with...

by Ross Adams in Games393 days ago

Jeff Gertsmann returns this week, with tales of go karting during his break. Before any game talk Vinny and Ryan discuss the movie Predators that they recently watched. Which leads onto a discussion of what Predator society might be like, surely there has be be an Costumer Service Predator? Brad regrets bringing up Tron: Evolution again as he learns it inevitably leads to discussion of Tron: Evolution which the guys agree is a bad game that could easily have been much better. Vinny talks about his varying emotions in relation to Dead Rising 2, he...

Rebel FM: Episode 88 — 01/04/11

by Alex Martin in Games396 days ago

IGN Editor Jim Reilly joins for this 2010-retrospective podcast with Anthony, Arthur, and Ryan. First, though, they look back at the games they’ve played this week. Anthony starts with the PlayStation Move components of Auditorium and Heavy Rain. Jim jumps in the middle of that to talk Oblivion, which he has just started in the midst of Elder Scrolls V news. Arthur is puzzled at Bejeweled 3′s weird faux-epic aesthetic. He’s also got impressions on Mass Effect 2′s downloadable missions (not including Lair of the Shadow Broker). Ryan’s...

CastMedium Podcast 066 – 01.06.11

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Tech400 days ago

The news cycle is just kicking back into gear, so we take this week’s episode to discuss what we would like to see in games and tech this year. I start things off with my readiness for new consoles, but I seem to be alone in this. Jon then talks up the 2011 PS3 release schedule and Erik pines for day and date digital releases alongside retail launches. Jon closes-out games with love for avatar awards. In tech, I lament the now dusty-feeling state of iOS. Jon discusses what he wants to see in an iPad hardware refresh and Erik again discusses...

Rebel FM Episode 80 – 10/15/10

by Alex Martin in Games481 days ago

Arthur and Tyler lead the discussion on Medal of Honor. Arthur’s avoided reading the comments on his slightly above average IGN review. Tyler agrees with the score, but what they describe sounds worse even than the 6/10 on IGN. Even DICE’s multiplayer section suffers from the forced emulation of Call of Duty. Next, they talk about the frustration Dead Rising 2 brings by combining zombie-slaughter fun with antique game-design. Arthur has had to break the game to beat it. Anthony has a backhanded comment for Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Gears Multiplayer Fixed?

by Peter Barta in Games486 days ago

This week’s Game Scoop is pretty light – the guys cruise through a lot of games and topics and don’t spend too much time on any one thing.  The biggest news of the week is Gear of War 3 and its improved multiplayer experience.  Ryan has had some hands-on experience with the new dedicated servers and is clearly impressed with what he’s seen. The staff seems to have a slew of reviews ready to post at IGN, including Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light and Def Jam Rapstar.  Ubisoft recently stated their belief that dance...

Rebel FM Episode 79 – 10/08/10

by Alex Martin in Games488 days ago

Matt and Arthur have been playing Enslaved this week. Despite agreeing that it is “remarkably OK”, and being underwhelmed by the combat and platforming, they seem to love it. The game is built around Alex Garland’s story though, and they recommend it for that and the brilliant acting and level design. Matt talks a little about his floating dungeon in Minecraft before Anthony details the forthcoming European PC games he recently had a look at. The First Templar, Dungeons, The Ball, and Amnesia all have some interesting concepts...

Weekend Confirmed

Weekend Confirmed Episode 28

by Peter Barta in Games493 days ago

This week’s episode starts with an interesting twenty-minute debate regarding the merits of Guitar Hero vs Rock Band, and the future of music games in general.  Jeff’s been playing Enslaved, and is pleasantly surprised by the production value and fun factor.  Brian seems pretty underwhelmed by Dead Rising 2, and Garnett gives some insight on Front Mission Evolved. Brian actually suggests a game for Cannata-ford this week – Super Mega Worm for iOS devices.  Garnett thinks everyone should play Planescape Torment, and Jeff kinda...

Player One Podcast – Episode 206 (10/04/10) – The Color of Hulk

by Ross Adams in Games493 days ago

It’s a fairly packed show this week, so the guys get swiftly down to business by talking about Dead Rising 2. CJ has alot of problems with the game, he feels like the game piles on the pressure far too quickly. Where as the first Dead Rising slowly introduced elements, such as rescuing survivors. The guys are mostly positive however, Phil cites the weapon combo system and the Las Vegas-esque enviroment as a couple of the things he’s enjoying about the game. CJ, Sewart and Ford checked out the demo for Ninja Theory’s latest, Enslaved....

Rebel FM Episode 78 – 10/01/10

by Alex Martin in Games495 days ago

After the Altano-Bromley circus has passed through town, the crew is back to their usual, low-level crass. Anthony starts the game talk with Quantum Theory — a flawed, Japanese version of Gears of War. Another Japanese action game — Earth Defense Force: Ant Invasion — exhibits similar levels of dated design features, but is charming for it. He also gives his impressions on the downloadables Hydrophobia and Death Spank: Thongs of Virtue. Everyone’s still playing Civilization 5, and talk about the late game and their different...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 24

by Peter Barta in Games523 days ago

This week’s Weekend Confirmed is absolutely packed, despite being down one member.  With Brian sick, its Garnett and Jeff touching on all manner of content, starting with Whatcha Been Playin?  They spread the wealth this week, talking about Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Shogun 2, Mafia 2, Sonic Riders for Kinect, and F1 2010.  Garnett gives a quick teaser for the upcoming Borderlands DLC and Jeff explains his new favorite boardgame Cutthroat Caverns. The Warning gives us the third week of discussion surrounding shooting in games and potential...

Mobcast 54: CO-OP on Co-op

by Alex Martin in Games633 days ago

Ryan O’Donnell and Cesar Quintero of Area 5 media, producers of CO-OP, are hosted by Bitmobbers Demian and Brett. Appropriately, the theme for this episode is co-operative gaming and Demian starts with his topic — games the panel only plays co-operatively. Some games are just better when you have friends there with you, like Phantasy Star Online, which Ryan seems to think is the same offline as on, but is transformed when your friends are there to check out your loot. Ryan has a cool idea — more games should have two-part weapons...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 5

by Alex Martin in Games656 days ago

Before they can confirm your weekend, Garnett, Jeff, Brian, and Billy talk about the games they’ve been playing. Garnett is happy with Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Monster Hunter Tri. Jeff thinks Monster Hunter is antiquated, sluggish, and impenetrable but Brian tells him to go play it co-op. One of the last this week of many podcast crews to talk about Captivate, they have mixed feelings on Dead Rising. They also saw Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Okamiden, and Sengoku Basara. In the Cannata-Afford-a-Game segment, the four give cheap game recommendations....

Rebel FM 59 – 04/21/10

by Alex Martin in Games657 days ago

The regular cast are joined by semi-regular Matt Chandronait, and IGN’s Scott Bromley. They teach us some new euphemisms for sex before talking about the games they’ve been playing. Anthony’s been playing Ghost Recon: Future Soldier — which brings the series into a third person perspective — and Starcraft 2′s campaign. Tyler has been playing an intriguing indie shooter called Drone. Everyone’s been playing Splinter Cell Conviction and liking it, although Matt complains that it is more linear than previous...

Three Red Lights Podcast, Episode 142

by Jonathan Downin in Games658 days ago

TRL starts with a whole lot of Halo: Reach talk this week. Charles had a chance to get a sneak peek at the multiplayer beta which is due for public consumption on May 3rd, and he has plenty of details to share. Hilary and crew are especially excited about the addition of jetpacks to the game. Capcom’s recent event in Hawaii, Captivate 2010, then takes center stage with Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The crew aren’t too excited about the latest cross-over fighter, and quickly get into Dead Rising 2 which they say looks really rough. Word of Bionic...
