GWJ Conference Call Episode 226

by Jon Cole in Games365 days ago

This week’s Shawn/Sean show kicks things off with Shawn’s continuing experiences with Dead Space 2. He admires the pacing and narrative style of the game, giving you these areas to explore that flesh out the world in different ways but are also mostly optional. He also gives us a brief update on Magicka, which he’s continued to play despite the bugs due to a longer campaign than he expected and deep gameplay mechanics. Sean shares a couple stories about playing LittleBigPlanet 2 with his son, though his propensity to quit out for...

New releases nothing really but Jack, some good emails and voicemails… and next week’s topic is revealed … and that ends off...

Player One Podcast – Episode 224 (02/07/11) – Chuckle Canucks

by Ross Adams in Games368 days ago

A Halo: Combat Evolved HD remake is the first thing discussed in this weeks episode, Ford is intrigued by it…if it’s a 10 dollar downloadable. The guys wonder how much they’ll actually change, while HD graphics are a certainty there’s no indication whether level design or anything in that vein will be touched. The Gregs and Phil tried the demo for Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 and Sewart starts off pretty negatively, he found it to be fairly plodding and boring. Phil has some issues that aren’t strictly related to the...

Mobcast 90: Dead Space 2 and other scary games

by Alex Martin in Games370 days ago

Jay Frechette (Visceral Games) and Matt Chandronait (Area 5 and Rebel FM) are the guests for this horror-themed Mobcast. They’re joined by Bitmob’s Brett Bates and Rus McLaughlin. First off, they talk about the successes and failures of horror games. Players need to be immersed in a game to be scared by it, which is why Visceral minimized the heads-up display in Dead Space, and implied that their menu screens were actually in Isaac’s world. On the other hand, Alan Wake’s collectibles were a constant reminder that the game...

Giant Bombcast 02-01-2011

by Ross Adams in Games373 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...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 225

by Jon Cole in Games373 days ago

This week’s Gamers with Jobs starts off with some talk about Magicka, a PC game that seems to have come out of nowhere to capture a fair amount of attention. Magicka’s best attribute is its gameplay, which allows a user to combine different types of spells into diverse, impressive combinations that add a layer of unique layer of complexity. The only detractor of the experience is some bugginess that disrupts multiplayer connectivity and other parts of the game, which will likely be patched in the near future. Dead Space is definitely...

Interactive Distractions – Ep 164 – NGP: Need Good Pants

by Nikko Kusanagi in Games375 days ago

Today, we’ve got Travis, Chris and Jason is a last minute replacement for Geoff. In Distractions… Jason is playing some Uno, Travis is loving on his Dead Space 2 and Chris is playing Vanquish. There’s also some Nerd talk in there too… so watch out. News… NGP… duh! What else can anyone expect?! After the break… have recent games made it so we aren’t as good at games as we used to be. New releases contains one game that REALLY matters, lots of listener voicemails and a new and topical question of the week hits home. Enjoy Episode...

Player One Podcast – Episode 223 (01/31/11) – Five in the Pocket

by Ross Adams in Games375 days ago

After a somewhat bitter start to the show Greg Sewart kicks off the game talk this week with the Bulletstorm demo, while he found the gameplay to be quite fun he isn’t too keen on the wrappings around it. The low brow, swear filled dialogue isn’t something that appeals to him and makes him not want to play the game in front of anyone because he finds it so dumb. Sony’s announcement of the not-PSP2 (NGP) gets discussed, with CJ dropping the bomb that he’ll buy one ever if it hits $400. Sewart and Phil don’t seem quite...

Rebel FM Episode 90 – 01/28/11

by Alex Martin in Games377 days ago

Anthony starts this week’s Rebel FM talking about a video-less game. Papasangre is an iPhone horror-game that uses stereo sound to creep out sighted and sightless gamers alike. Another iPhone horror-game, Dead Space, does require vision and is surprisingly easy to control. Naturally, they continue their Dead Space 2 discussion. He’s also enjoyed Breach, a downloadable multiplayer shooter, but was disappointed by its lack of original ideas. Ryan’s discussion of Vanquish segues into an examination of what “bad shooting”...

Giant Bombcast 01-25-2011

by Ross Adams in Games380 days ago

Ryan is out with an injury this week so Jeff takes up the hosting duties. Brad and Vinny are a bit mistrusting at first however after being duped into appearing on Jeff’s other podcast. Brad starts off the game talk with Dead Space 2, which he can finally talk about in more detail. Thankfully he doesn’t go into too much detail other than to say it’s an exceptionally made game which isn’t overly different to the first Dead Space. Lots of small tweaks and additions to the gameplay and UI make for an impressive sequel. He also...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Dead Space 2 Review

by Jon Cole in Games382 days ago

This week, the Scoop! crew finally gets a chance to talk about Dead Space 2 after weeks of fist shaking at EA’s embargo. Navigation is one of the most immediate changes to the Dead Space formula, as the cumbersome map of the first game is discarded for a glowing path on demand to the closest point of interest. Additionally, the melee and stomp attacks are far more effective, spicing up the gameplay and making it easier to verify that a necromorph is finally finished off. Nintendo’s 3DS event was the other big piece of news this week,...

Rebel FM Episode 89 – 01/21/11

by Alex Martin in Games384 days ago

Dead Space 2 is the focus of a lengthy discussion at the start of this episode. They stay away from spoilers for this and its prequels, talking instead about the usability improvements and aesthetic differences. Next, Arthur talks about Age of Empires Online and the Xbox Live Arcade version of Torchlight. He’s also played Mass Effect 2′s Shadow Broker DLC, and seen the interactive comic that accompanies the PlayStation 3 version. He’s left with some questions about Mass Effect 3. Anthony has storys to tell about Game Dev Story....

Giant Bombcast 01-18-2011

by Ross Adams in Games387 days ago

Vinny is out this week so Alex Navarro steps into the empty chair, the guys also haven’t been playing alot of games so it’s a more news heavy show than usual. Alex played some Raskulls and although he doesn’t seem to feel too strongly about it he had fun with it. Jeff played a significant amount of DC Universe Online and is not a fan, the PS3 version especially isn’t particularly well made in alot of ways. The menus haven’t been streamlined for consoles and the game itself often runs at a less than ideal framerate....
