The HotSpot 04/20/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games759 days ago

Kick-Ass starts the show this week. Although it’s not really game related, the guys enjoyed the movie a lot and want to recommend it. Capcom held their anual Captivate event last week in Hawaii and the biggest reveal was Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It will be in 3D, much like Street Fighter 4, and is said to feature more than 30 playable characters. The group talks a bit more about Splinter Cell and everyone is pretty high on the game. In news, word of a “taboo” new Kojima game kicks things off before the NPDs get some time. Software...

GameSpy Debriefings

The GameSpy Debriefings #115

by Jon Cole in Games820 days ago

This week’s Gamespy Debriefings is heavily dominated by talk about Heavy Rain, opening up with Anthony’s reaction to comments that his review is too vague about the story.  Anthony makes the argument that the game was only as effective to him as it was because he came in knowing very little about the plot and it took him by storm.  Miggels takes it a step farther and says that the game resonated with him so much emotionally that he actually felt bad when he performed unconscionable acts in the game. Next up is Ace Attorney Investigations:...

CO-OP Live: Bioshock 2 and X10 Previews

by Derek Lavigne in Games821 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...

Drunken Gamers Radio 02.13.2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games821 days ago

A Hilden-less show again this week as he is off dealing with real life (read: his wife told him he had better things to do), and the show is a bit lacking in being a duo. Like last week, Moe and John had a bit of trouble with the audio equipment and share their adventures to start off the show. Voicemails are skipped so a few emails get things moving for real. Blaster Master: Overdrive for WiiWare is first up in the reviews segment. John seems to enjoy it, but spends most of the time explaining to Moe what the original Blaster Master is all about...

Giant Bombcast 02-16-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games821 days ago

Bombcast is recording a little late this week due to appointments to see games which means Brad is once again missing. Vinny kicks things off by baffling everyone with his return to Mass Effect 1. Jeff talks about his disappointment with Aliens vs. Predator before shifting into a long discussion about Microsoft’s X10 event. Jeff seems hyped for Game Room and equally so for Crackdown 2 and they also touch on what they saw of Dead Rising 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction. The segment closes out once again in befuddlement as Drew reveals he has...

The HotSpot 02/16/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games821 days ago

Aliens Vs. Predator is out and it sounds like it is very faithful to Rebellion’s earlier Aliens vs. Predator games, but this is not necessarily a good thing. Perfect Dark for XBLA was announced at x10 and it garners some excitement here. Fable III is passed over rather quickly with Halo Reach, Alan Wake and Dead Rising 2 getting bigger chunks of time for discussion. NPDs and recent comments from Activision and Ubisoft have the guys pondering the state of the industry. Activision is closing and paring down some of their studios resulting...

Mobcast Episode 41

by Jon Cole in Games822 days ago

The Mobcast is back to their typical format, bringing on Garnett Lee of Shacknews and Justin Fassino of Machinima.com.  Demian’s topic kicks things off, asking the importance, function, and marketing capabilities of beta trials of games.  Most everyone can agree that betas serve many masters, but ultimately provide important information concerning multiplayer gameplay, especially in terms of balancing and design. Next up is the subject of X10, which was the reason Garnett and Justin came to San Francisco in the first place.  Lost Planet’s...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 152

by Jonathan Downin in Games825 days ago

While many podcasts have focused on Microsoft’s X10 event, Game Scoop! starts with NPDs this week. Mass Effect 2 had very strong initial sales, but other games seem to have lost out to BioWare’s latest– except for Just Dance. X10 does get some coverage with the guys talking about Dead Rising 2 and Alan Wake. Perfect Dark has also been confirmed for XBLA and Daemon is especially interested in the update. Left 4 Dead DLC is touched upon before the group moves onto another edition of Knockin’ Boots. Emails run long this week...

4 Guys 1UP

4 Guys 1UP: 02/12/2010

by Jonathan Downin in Games825 days ago

It is an all X10 show this week and Garnett Lee stops by his old stomping ground to discuss some of the games that were on-hand at the event. Fable III, Halo Reach and Crackdown are the big games this week with interviews the their respective developers before the guys dig into their own impressions. Peter Molyneux is as enthusiastic as ever about Fable III and he addresses his “people will be pissed-off” comment. Bungie seems to be focusing on the technical improvements of Halo Reach with a lot of their commentary and recently released...

CO-OP – Episode 216: TGS Special

by Jonathan Downin in Games956 days ago

There is no narrative this week and next week’s show will be shorter with the guys taking a small break to gear up for the busy holiday release schedule and the premier of season 3. Dead Space Extraction starts the show out this week and impressions are positive all around. EA has been billing this as a guided experience, as opposed to an on-rails shooter, and it looks like this distinction is made with good reason. Ryan says he almost feels like this could be a new genre for the Wii. Tokyo Game Show talk takes a huge chunk of the middle section...

Three Red Lights Podcast, Episode 126

by Jonathan Downin in Games959 days ago

It’s the first episode of Three Red Lights without Hilary and things are going fine. Ryan Clements has been added to the mix, but it is not clear whether he will be a permanent member along with his regular spot on Podcast Beyond. The guys have been playing some ODST and have a few stories to tell while berating Ryan for not playing with them. Erik was at TGS last week and he shares some impressions about Project Natal. It sounds like everything played fairly well, but he does complain of some minor, ever-present lag in the input. Dead Rising...

Listen UP: 09/28/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games963 days ago

With this final Tokyo Game Show podcast from 1UP, 1 thing has been made abundantly clear: 1UP gives you hard games coverage and IGN gives you flavor. While the group here agrees that there wasn’t too much big news coming out of TGS this year, that is not going to stop them from talking about every singly game they saw. There are so many games covered here that it is almost impossible to point out anything specific. Look at the list below and if you want to hear about those games, listen to this. Mark MacDonald does take a moment at the end...

Game Scoop! Podcast: TGS 09, Pt. 3

by Jonathan Downin in Games964 days ago

This is the last TGS podcast from the Game Scoop guys and it is a fun one. Yakuza 4 is the first game discussed and the guys are pretty high on it with Greg saying it will destroy GTA. Erik got a chance to check out a few Project Natal demos and he came away impressed. Lost Planet 2 get some discussion before everyone chimes in on the Dead Rising 2 multiplayer. It is an American Gladiators style collection of mini-games and has the guys puzzled about why the developers didn’t go with a more straightforward design. Although the is a fair amount...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 134

by Jonathan Downin in Games987 days ago

Erik has been playing Guitar Hero 5 and he is enjoying it.  Despite the recent decline in interesting in music games, Guitar Hero 5 has been getting a lot of good buzz.  It sounds like Neversoft have implemented a lot of new feature that make it easy to pick up and play while sprucing up the whole package. The IGN crew received a PR email from Capcom about Dead Rising 2 and what they will be seeing at the Tokyo Game Show.  It sounds like they are teasing a new mulitplayer mode.  Dead Rising was one of the premier launch window 360 titles and...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 121

by Jonathan Downin in Games1092 days ago

Many have heard about the rumors of a slide-out screened  PSP being announced at E3, but in addition to this, there are now rumors that Sony will also announce a downloadable rental service for PSP.  This would be a great thing for the PSP. Greg Miller is sharing some very important information here about etiquette involving buffalo wings and the romantic times. For those of you looking for E3 coverage, the guys let us know that IGN will be live-streaming the big press conferences along with many other things during the show.  Look for the details...
