Game Scoop! Podcast: Is DC Universe Good or Evil?

by Jon Cole in Games487 days ago

As a devoted Game Scooper, Greg takes a break from his day off to join this week’s show and talk about his time with DC Universe Online. He’s pushed nearly all the way to the level cap of 30 and has been satisfied all the way through, though he does note that much of the office lies more on the negative side of things. Ryan in particular talks about the rough start to the game, not offering a lot of narrative hooks into the exciting core superhero universe as well as poor user interface. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has excited almost...

by Ross Adams in Games492 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 Games495 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...

The lack of new...

Podcast Beyond: Uncharted 3 and PSP 2 Bombshells

by Jon Cole in Games525 days ago

The reveal of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is probably the biggest Playstation-centric news of the week, especially coming off of the completely disappointing casting of Mark Wahlberg as Drake in last week’s movie announcements. Scott Lowe is on the show and dug up some rumors concerning the upcoming PSP2 hardware, including rear-facing camera and dual analog inputs. Resistance 3 had some rumors confirmed, most of which bring it up to speed with other modern FPS games including multiplayer character progression and customizable weapons. Topic...

Podcast Beyond: Arsenic Bacteria’s Favorite Show

by Jon Cole in Games530 days ago

Greg Miller joins Podcast Beyond after a week away from the reins, bringing in Game Scoop! co-host Daemon Hatfield for much hilarity. The Playstation Move has shipped about 4 million units and Daemon goes a bit crazy over the fact that Sony has only released “shipped” numbers rather than the amount of product actually sold to consumers. Colin talks a little bit about the delay of Explodemon and how he finds it odd that people accuse it of being derivative of Explosion Man despite the fact that it entered development first. In the Official...

Game Scoop!: IGN’s Epic Yarn

by Peter Barta in Games577 days ago

This week’s Game Scoop! starts with “one of the year’s biggest disappointments” – Medal of Honor.  Arthur’s review ponders how a game that took so long to release ended up lacking so much polish.  From different engines driving the single player and multi-player, to the inconsistent and buggy delivery, he stands tall against the fan-boys (especially compared to Bad Company 2). Dead Space: Ignition leaves Greg wanting, but the guys have a good laugh over it and it doesn’t appear to detract from their excitement...

Rebel FM Episode 77 – 09/24/10

by Alex Martin in Games601 days ago

Although they start talking about nocturnal emissions and biblical autoeroticism, Anthony, Arthur, and Matt manage to spend almost an entire hour talking about video games with guests Brian Altano and Scott Bromley. Anthony has played a handful of iPhone games this week, and gives his positive thoughts on Predators, Aftermath, Mirror’s Edge, and Osmos HD. He also talks about the problems with IGN’s video review format, regarding his Civilization 5 review. Matt shares his tips for a cultural victory in Civ 5 and talks about the Dead Space...

CastMedium Podcast 052 – 09.21.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech606 days ago

After missing a week we are back. If you missed our Halo Reach special, check it out. It’s full of Halo talk (weird huh!) I paticipated in this week’s show, and I edited it, so I have authority around these parts– and I say, this is our best episode yet. Seriously! A bit of unexpected podcast space developments start the cast and then we move on to Erik’s (short) time with the PS Move hardware. After our mutual disinterest in the Move, we move on to TGS news. Microsoft seems to have courted the Japanese dev community...

Podcast Beyond: Cheating Dead Rising 2

by Jon Cole in Games607 days ago

Podcast Beyond starts with some TGS news, since the Playstation 3 had a pretty large showing as per usual. The announcement of an Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD re-release excites most of the guys, giving them a chance to revisit some of the PS2′s best games. Dead Space Extraction was announced to be released alongside Dead Rising 2 and as a downloadable title, but the more interesting news about the port is that it won’t require PS Move. Many new games have been recently announced, including original titles like Shadow of the Damned...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Comic-Con Wrap-up

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV658 days ago

Game Scoop! dodges a typical episode and picks back up this week with a special, Comic-Con Wrap-Up with Daemon, Hilary, and Greg. Starting things off, Hilary tosses out the disclaimer that most of what they saw at the conference was actually also shown long before their first public appearance, so their enthusiasm is a little deflated. Daemon got a chance to check out Dead Rising: Case Zero and isn’t quite impressed with the whole thing. Luckily, Greg reports in that the downloadable prequel will cost 400 MSP and will contribute to your...

The Idle Thumbs Podcast Episode 10: Nasty/Good/Badass

by Jonathan Downin in Games663 days ago

Episode 10 is here sooner than expected with Limbo talk up front. The guys have a lot of good things to say about the game with the bulk of the praise expressed for the games incredible atmosphere. The guys relate the feeling the game conveys to that of exploring when they were kids. Next up is Valve’s Alien Swarm that was recently released for free. Chris also share some anecdotes about his time with the Nasa backed, and also free, Moon Base Alpha. After a lengthy discussion about simulation games and who plays them, the guys get into the...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Bewb Flash

by Jon Cole in Games676 days ago

Dead Space: Ignition receives a little bit of confusion and a lot of criticism from the Game Scoop! crew, due to the fact that this paid downloadable game taking place between Dead Space and Dead Space 2 dodges the gameplay of the main series and instead plans to implement a “comic book action” style of play.  Daemon grills this change the most, predicting that it’ll be little more than a series of quick-time events.  Greg is a little more cautiously optimistic, though, as the first game earned this DLC episode a little bit of...

Podcast Beyond: Move vs. Kinect

by Jon Cole in Games679 days ago

Ryan is out yet again, Jim returns after many fan requests, and Nicole Tanner of IGN Girlfight joins the show for her first time.  After cast introductions, Greg transitions straight into the Roper Report and the announcement of Dragon Age II.  While not everyone is so hot about the console implementation of the first Dragon Age, news that the combat system will be overhauled has inspired a little bit of optimism.  In other news, a slight hardware revision of the PS3 in the form of a white console has piqued the curiosity of some of the guys,...

Game Scoop! Podcast: E3 Adventures

by Jon Cole in Games689 days ago

Game Scoop! returns after an E3 hiatus with a retrospective episode tackling the past week’s events.  Many of the topics they hit on were previously discussed on several other podcasts, such as the odd Kinect/Cirque du Soleil announcement and Playstation Move party. Knockin’ Boots returns with some flair, welcoming special guest Jimmy Fallon over the phone to talk about the ladies.  He also gets a chance to weigh in on the Shark vs Octopus debate of the ages, hopefully leading to a clear end to the warring states era of IGN. Listener...
