Game Scoop! Podcast: The Best 58 Minutes of Your Life

by Peter Barta in Games531 days ago

The cast starts out with some stories from Germany as Daemon shares his experiences at and around Gamescom. Though extra-curricular activities occupy a good deal of the conversation, they bring it back around to what was great about the con itself. BioShock Infinite appears to have been the real gem, with a demo that seemed too good to be true. After briefly discussing live action trailers for video games, Mafia II gets a look. The group sees this game pretty clearly as good, but not amazing (less enthusiastic than some other sites and reviewers). The...

The Geekbox: Episode 76

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies, TV561 days ago

Karen is back and the show starts with talk of DeathSpank. Ryan S.is loving it, but Karen is just getting through it. Next up is Limbo and the inevitable price discussion ensues. Ryan H. has a strong stance on pricing for digital good and Karen almost can’t handle it. After touching on Burn Notice the group moves on to the new Street Fighter X Tekken announcement. Ryan S. talks about the idea of achieving true balance in a fighting game with 40+ characters. Green Lantern and Smallville talk lead into a spoiler-filled Inception discussion. Wherein...

Rebel FM Episode 69 – 07/22/10

by Alex Martin in Games566 days ago

Jim Reilly (IGN) joins Anthony, Arthur, Matt, and Tyler on the podcast too classy to for its 69th episode to be a source of amusement. Anthony kicks it off with Darkstar One. It’s a space combat sim with some trading and a lot of boring grinding. He’s enjoying grinding in DeathSpank though. Gravity Crash is a brightly colored, 2D space shooter he’s playing on the PSP. He has the low-down on Darkspore too — it’s a Diabolo clone with less customizability than the original Spore. Jim, a quiet guy, brings sounds down on...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 17

by Jonathan Downin in Games567 days ago

DeathSpank starts the show and the guys have some middling impressions of the game. Also, everyone has gotten back in World of Warcraft with the Cataclysm beta now underway. After a few extremely negative comments about APB, Garnett talks about his lack of enthusiasm for Singularity. The free Valve release, Alien Swarm, gets a unanimous vote for Cannataford this week. The middle segment has the guys again approaching the topic of games as value propositions. Garnett also explains how he wasnts to take a different approach to games coverage in moving...

GWJ Conference Call Episode 197

by Jon Cole in Games570 days ago

At the top of the show, Allen and Shawn talk a bit about their time playing RUSE due to its free weekend on Steam. Despite the game’s great gameplay and solid interface, the guys take issue with Ubisoft’s DRM and sadly can’t absolutely recommend it. Deathspank is probably the biggest game to release this past week and the guys chime in with their thoughts. While they seemed to enjoy the humor that Ron Gilbert probably helped contribute to the game as well as the unique camera perspective, some of the gameplay mechanics like...

CastMedium Podcast 044 – 07.20.10

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech571 days ago

It’s another glorious episode of the podcast– and it’s a good one. DeathSpank’s debut and Limbo’s kick-off of the XBLA Summer of Arcade are up first. If you aren’t up on Limbo, as always, the Giant Bomb Quick Look is a good primer. In tech, we spend a good amount of time on the state of iPhone 4 after the mini ‘Jobsnote‘ last Friday. Spoiler: None of us are too happy. We are happy about the overview of Windows Phone 7 that hit the tech sites recently though, and Erik is in a holding pattern for its...

Player One Podcast – Episode 195 (07/19/10) – Summer of Loots

by Ross Adams in Games571 days ago

Greg Sewart kicks off this weeks show by talking about his newest purchase of a Xbox 360 S, stories of file transfering and downloads follow. He and the other guys are miffed about the upcoming Destination Arcade app on Xbox Live, Greg and anyone outside the US won’t even have access to it because it is restricted to US only. On top of that it will only be available for the duration of Summer of Arcade. This leads to the crew discussing which of the games in the promotion they will be getting. CJ plans to get them all, which is no great shock,...

Game Scoop! Podcast: Comic-Con Preview

by Jon Cole in Games572 days ago

It’s Game Scoop!’s fourth birthday and a loving listener compiled some fascinating data regarding the history of this podcast, namely the amount of times each person has been on the show and what their debut episodes were. After wistfully delving into those numbers, Greg talks a little bit about his experience with Hulu Plus, which he’s been more impressed with than the janky, disc-required PS3 Netflix experience. The guys somehow talk about Buffy, Angel, and Lost before Greg talks about his Comic-Con plans. Daemon and Hilary...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 17

by Jonathan Downin in Games574 days ago

Garnett starts the game talk with his take on NCAA Football 11. No one seems to care too much so the discussion quickly moves on to DeathSpank. Another recent downloadable title, Puzzle Quest 2, gets some time and then Garnett gets into Sin & Punishment, which seems to be an extremely difficult and niche game. Brian shares some impressions of OnLive after spending time with the streaming gaming service. He is positive on the technical execution of the offering, but everyone has a problem with the pricing model at play. After a few cheap game...

Podcast Beyond: DeathSpank

by Jon Cole in Games574 days ago

Podcast Beyond welcomes back Ryan Clements from the land of the podcast dead for this week’s show, starting things off with Greg’s plans for Comic-Con. The Roper Report gives Greg and Colin the chance to report in on Hulu Plus, which doesn’t seem to get anyone too excited. In other news, Double Fine has announced that they’re going to release four smaller games made by smaller teams within the company, which does little more than inspire an “eh” due to the somewhat misleading gameplay premise of Brutal Legend. Deathspank...

Active Time Babble XVIII: Persona 3 Portable & DeathSpank | 07/01/2010

by Ross Adams in Games574 days ago

Andrew Fitch and Ray Barnholt join Kat for this weeks episode. RPG news kicks things off, starting with the official announcement of Dragon Age 2. With the news that the console experience will be revamped Kat hopes they may aim for something like Demon’s Souls, although she admits that could be unlikely. The guys seem intrigued by the prospect of a story that take place over 10 years. With Ni no Kuni being confirmed for a western release Fitch thinks it really needs to be better indentified if it is to have the appeal of a Studio Ghibli movie. The...

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies577 days ago

Mike and Alan kick things off with some complaints about people’s fashion choices. The crew then starts the regular show with a reader email about a poor comic shop experience that pushed him to start buying from DCBS, which Mike also endorses. The DeathSpank Game Night also gets a quick mention. In the ‘Games Dammit” section Alan talks about his issue with NCAA 2011 and Jade talked about her frustration about Amazon’s sluggish delivery of Dragon Quest IX. The conversation then moves on to the topic of scary games and the...

Weekend Confirmed Episode 16

by Jonathan Downin in Games581 days ago

Crackdown 2 kicks off another podcast and the guys aren’t pulling any punches. If you have heard any of the criticism piled on this game from other podcasts, it is almost all represented here as well. Jeff also got into Deadly Premonition after receiving it from Shane last week and he goes on an absolute tear about the problems with the game– incredibly fun stuff. Brian talks about his time with Arma 2, and it sounds like it is for a very specific audience. If you will like this game, you probably already know about it. Deathspank get...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 161

by Jon Cole in Games648 days ago

Game Scoop is back this week, starting off the conversation with news that Activision has received the publishing rights to Bungie’s next big franchise for ten years. On a similar note, the guys share their opinions of Halo: Reach, with Nate clearly having played the most out of the bunch. He’s not totally sure about many of the new features, like the Sprint ability, but ultimately comes off as optimistic. Sony’s in a little bit of trouble for taking Linux support out of their PS3′s, under assault from a class-action...
