Weekend Confirmed Episode 11

by Alex Martin in Games616 days ago

Billy Berghammer’s back on Weekend Confirmed, replacing Jeff Cannata for this episode. He’s the first to tell what he’s been playing, and chooses to start with DJ Hero which he picked up on the cheap. He was frustrated by Super Mario Galaxy 2, but appreciates it nonetheless. Finally, he’s been reviewing Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, but can’t say much about it. Garnett, meanwhile, has not been enjoying Backbreaker — a highly flawed football game. He is looking forward to Blacklight: Tango Down, though. It seems...

Joystiq Podcast

Joystiq Podcast 141 – Big News edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games616 days ago

Chris is out again this week, and in his absence, it appears that the industry has decided to do nothing. There is just a week left until E3 starts, so the lack of news is pretty normal. The guys predict that this year should prove to be a big one for E3 reveals. With not much news, it’s all played games and emails. Ludwig kicks things off with talk about his time with DJ Hero. He picked it up on the cheap and is enjoying learning new rhythm game mechanics as apposed now ingrained guitar mechanics. Luddy also names Split Second his 3rd favorite...

Mobcast

Mobcast Episode 48

by Jon Cole in Games676 days ago

Dan Hsu returns to the hosting seat this week, welcoming ex-Crispy Gamer Kyle Orland and ex-Blizzard “tastemaker” Keith Lee into the studio along with Bitmobber Demian Linn.  Being a huge Blizzard fan, Demian takes on the first topic, primarily asking Keith how Blizzard so often enjoys massive success.  Design and user experience lead the pack of strong attributes that rope in many more users than games that use far more complex interfaces on the surface. Rhythm games seem to have tired out hardcore gamers at this point, especially...

Drunken Gamers Radio

Drunken Gamers Radio 01.16.10

by Derek Lavigne in Games752 days ago

Coming to us semi-live again this week (via a webcam on UStream) DGR starts off with a short Drunk Dial segment and emails before moving on to a “very January review segment”. First up is You Will Die, an Xbox Indie game which Hilden describes as a boss-rush shmup hybrid which doesn’t sound bad for $1. Staying with the Xbox Indie shmup theme, next up is Decimation-X which is a Space Invader clone with bullet hell elements added to it. Random Retro review this week is a little bit of a dud with NBA In The Zone for N64 which is as...

Giant Bombcast

Giant Bombcast 01-05-2010

by Derek Lavigne in Games766 days ago

A new year with the Bombcast picks up right where it left off in the previous year, with tales of ridiculous holiday break hijinks. Vinny and Jeff each take their turn solemnly calculating the massive amounts of money they spent on games they will never play during the Steam holiday sale (something Giant Bomb shares with CastMedium). Brad took the break to finally dive into Fallout 3 while he wasn’t eating fried chicken and Ryan played a bunch of Borderlands with Jeff. A busy week for news to kick off the new year with the guys discussing...

The Engadget Show – 003: Drew Bamford, Joystiq’s Chris Grant, Adamo XPS, and lots of game demos

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Tech808 days ago

The Engadget Podcast and Engadget Show released on the same day– that’s a lot of Engadget. HTC’s Director of User Experience, Drew Bamford, is the special guest this time around. He has been with the company for many years and has been a driving force behind HTC’s Sense UI from the beginning. The interview doesn’t lend too much insight, but this seems to be due to the somewhat PR-speak style Bamford employs. Nilay and Paul join Joshua on stage to discuss the Dell Adamo XPS and recent redesign of Engadget.com before...

The HotSpot 11/17/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games815 days ago

Relative to other big releases over the past weeks, Assassin’s Creed II has been flying under the radar to some extent. A level of trepidation after the critical reception of the first game is understandable, but the latest entry has wowed Kevin, and he is not the only one. Left 4 Dead 2 has garnered an equally positive reception and Shaun shares his opinion after weeks of playtime. Tony Hawk Ride is still MIA due to Activisions decision not to send out review copies– not a good sign. Moving onto the news, EA is cutting 1500 jobs and...

CO-OP – Episode 305: We’re Oscar Mike

by Jonathan Downin in Games816 days ago

Dragon Age: Origins is up first this week and Demian Linn and Jason Wilson of Bitmob and joining the love-fest. The characterization, and story to a lesser extent, are the big draws here. It does sound like the PC version is definitely the way to go with the interface hampering enjoyment somewhat in the console versions. 1UP’s Richard Li joins Cesar and Jason Bertrand to discuss DJ Hero. The game gets a surprising amount of time when the final determination comes down to the title’s steep learning curve and generally inaccessibility. Modern...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 142

by Jonathan Downin in Games818 days ago

NPDs kick off this week’s Scoop. DJ Hero sales came in below even the moderate expectations for the game with only 122,000 units sold. Most of the crew have finished Modern Warfare 2, and the opinions are universally positive. Charles has been playing some Left 4 Dead 2 and his review will be going up on Monday night. Microsoft has recently banned between 600,000 and 1 million Xbox Live accounts due to association with modded consoles. This is a huge number, and if accurate, points to the 360 piracy problem being a lot bigger than many imagined. GameStop...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 138: Funky Fly

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies823 days ago

It’s a duo of sci-fi flicks with “the” in the title this week. Neither movie really won the guys over with The Box meandering through its 2nd act, and The Fourth Kind trying too hard to be taken seriously. The Box is probably the one more worth checking out though. In the spirit of summer, the guys picked up some kites, Star Wars kites to be exact. They finally get them put together, but the attempts at getting them in the air are markedly less successful. Let’s hope for a follow-up segment in the future so we can see those...

Giant Bombcast 11-03-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games829 days ago

With Vinny out on assignment, friend of the show Jared Rea sits in on the podcast to bring a wave of fighting and music games to the table. After a lengthy Tekken 6 discussion, Jeff talks about his evil impulse buy of DJ Hero: Renegade Edition and having to explain it even to the employees he purchased it from. Brad quickly discusses his loot addition swapping between Borderlands and Torchlight. Jared dives back into some more obscure fighting game tournaments as well as Forza 3, which Jeff has also been playing since some good Giant Bomb logos...

at1UP: 11/02/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc829 days ago

Halloween stories, or the lack thereof, start things off this week with Mike being the only one who chose to don a costume, as a hobo. There are various improvements coming to 1UP, including revamped my1UP and user review sections. Travis says to look for those soon, hopefully by the end of them week. Travis has been playing Torchlight and shares about his loot-filled experience with the game. Mike has gone deep into the player creator in WWE SMackdown vs. Raw, and Jade vents about the difficulty of A Boy and His Blob. Conflicted feeling about DJ...

Player One Podcast: Episode 158 – Castro the Friendly Ghost

by Jonathan Downin in Games830 days ago

First up is some sad news about a recent loss within the gaming community. Once the guys move on to game talk, Modern Warfare starts the conversation in relation to violence in games. We will all have to wait and see how Infinity Ward handles this in the game before making final judgments, but the guys offer some good, insightful discussion here. The DSi XL gets a fairly cool reaction here, much as it has everywhere else. The bottom line is, this is not for us. After a long absence, the Game Club segment makes a return with the Halloween inspired...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 140

by Jonathan Downin in Games833 days ago

DJ Hero is the first topic up this week– again. The group discusses the forthcoming DLC for the game and then Greg touches on Band Hero, which he is in the midst of reviewing. Hilary recently reviewed GTAIV: The Ballad of Gay Tony and gave it a 9.2. He deems this the better of the 2 episodes and obviously enjoyed it. Greg talks about the announcement of Netflix coming to PS3 and states that it will only require a Netflix software disc to be in the drive for a few months before it is integrated into the XMB. Modern Warfare 2 has been in the...

The Game Informer Show: Episode 5

by Jonathan Downin in Games834 days ago

Anyone who has been following Game Informer knows that they have been going through a transition. They have recently relaunched both the magazine and website. Along with a stronger online presence, they have also started a podcast, The Game Informer Show. Although this is only the 5th episode, it feels like they have settled on a structure that is somewhat unique. There is no classic “what you’ve been playing” segment, the show is instead partitioned into self-contained segment which have a tight, 1-game/topic focus. This allows...
