Giant Bombcast 10-27-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games934 days ago

The Bombcast again starts off this week on bigger name recent release with Vinny discussing his experience with Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time. Talk of a recent press event that Vinny and Brad went to for Army of Two: The 40th Day then leads to a discussion on the merits of pre-order and pack-in bonuses, which all the guys seem to agree are largely a negative trend.  Afterwards, Jeff shares his excitement for DJ Hero, which seems to clear up his previous skepticism. News starts off once again with talk of the Modern Warfare 2 PC server controversy,...

CastMedium Podcast 009 – 10.26.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech935 days ago

Episode 9 is here, but it almost wasn’t. Our secret podcasting machine decided to crash just as we hit the stop button after recording the first time around, but Monday is CastMedium Podcast day, so we sucked it up and did it all over again. I present to you, episode 009 – take 2. A lot happened in the podcast world last week so we are talking about it. 1UP’s new premier podcast, 4 Guys 1UP, had its first episode and it was a strong start. All 3 of us gush over The Engadget Show with Steve Ballmer, and express our dismay over the...

Player One Podcast: Episode 157 – That’s Evolution!

by Jonathan Downin in Games935 days ago

Tweets start this week’s cast with topics ranging from the Modern Warfare 2 private server issue to good entry FPSs for the uninitiated. Phil does a good job of dismissing the MW2 to issue and fields a questions about his current state of unemployment. CJ chimes-in to share another story in his ongoing battle with Best Buy. Phil announces that he is going to pick up Tekken 6, much to everyone’s bafflement. Fighting games are a dying breed, and Tekken 6 is probably going to have an uphill battle upon release. Greg Sewart is still loving...

Game Scoop! Podcast, Episode 139

by Jonathan Downin in Games937 days ago

DJ Hero is frst up this week since the IGN crew had a party centered around the game on Thursday. Everyone seems to be enjoying it more than they thought that they would. Greg has also been playing Band Hero which doesn’t sound like it is going to appeal to too many people, outside of kids/families. Borderlands continues to get good buzz with word from Gearbox Software that they have been having supply issues. Whether this is a real situation or a marketing ploy, a lot of people have been caught off-guard by the quality of the game. If it...

Podcast Beyond, Episode 112

by Jonathan Downin in Games939 days ago

Sega has confirmed that they are bringing out an updated version of the racing classic, Daytona USA. The new HD version will be titled Sega Racing Classic, but it has yet to be confirmed outside of an arcade release. Gran Turismo gets a bit of discussion before Greg decides that he wants to break the record for consecutive hours of GTAIV play. The guys talk about Borderlands and then move onto Uncharted 2. Everyone is still singing the praises of Uncharted 2 and this leads into a discussion of PS3 having the best exclusives of the year. DJ Hero...

Out of the Game, Ep. 15

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies939 days ago

It’s a 3-man show this week with Jeff out for this one. Starting with movies, District 9 takes up good portion of the beginning of the show with Robert finally getting around to seeing it. The impressions are positive all-around with some misgivings about the buddy-flick nature of the last 1/3. Shawn predicts that this will turn into a trilogy. The discussion stays in the realm of movies with the central topic turning towards special effects and CG versus practical executions. Uncharted 2 starts the game talk, but they are holding off the...

The Geekbox: Episode 35

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc946 days ago

Karen is back on this week and she is following up last week’s discussion about Orson Scott Card with her own personal decision to boycott the Dragon Quest games after Fitch related that the original creator is a Japanese Nationalist. Ideologies of Japanese Nationalism include justification of Japan’s WWII actions and denial surrounding the Korean and Chinese occupations. Comics talk takes up a chunk of time before group the covers the topic of outlets receiving huge swag, and if that influences coverage. This is spawned out of the fact...

CAGcast #175: The Citizen Kane of Podcasts

by Derek Lavigne in Games946 days ago

Starting off the show with stories as usual, CheapyD recounts his trip to Disney Sea in Tokyo the previous week with his wife. Wombat then tells about his adventure with his family going pumpkin picking, which included his wife getting a speeding ticket after she insisted on driving so Wombat didn’t get one. Cheapy was unable to find Demon’s Souls to talk about like seemingly everyone else, so instead he picked up Mirror’s Edge, which he is actually enjoying so far. Wombat shares how he was able to play Tony Hawk RIDE and DJ Hero...

Giant Bombcast 09-29-2009

by Derek Lavigne in Games961 days ago

This week’s Bombcast starts off like usual with games everyone has been playing, which this week dominated by experiences with DJ Hero. They all tend to agree that it was better than they expected, although Ryan expresses some displeasure over feeling the controller is too crowded. Brad also shares his experience with Dead Space: Extraction and is stopped short of spoiling a party that he really wanted to share. The news segment, after quickly touching on TGS, talk turns to the rumored Super Street Fighter IV and what Capcom would need to...

Rebel FM Episode 33 – 09/25/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games966 days ago

Halo ODST continues to be the first game covered in this week’s Rebel FM. Arthur ends up defending the game as Anthony argues that it doesn’t feel different enough and doesn’t offer enough content to justify its $60 price tag. Dead Space Extraction gets a glowing response from the guys here with them saying that it almost elevates the whole on-rails shooter genre. Tyler is talking about wanting to pick up Plants vs. Zombies, and the recent release of a stripped-down free flash version made it impossible for him to put it off any...

CastMedium Podcast 004 – 09.21.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech970 days ago

We are a little short on hard-hitting game topics this week, but Need for Speed: Shift starts off the discussion with us wondering who this game is targeted at. Things move into ridiculous territory with some Darkest of Days talk and then we find ourselves back where we started by questioning what kind of market DJ Hero is shooting for. The first episode of The Engadget Show debuted last week and it is a fresh and exciting take on tech video shows. They managed to bring in Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein for a little 1 on 1 time with Joshua Topolsky and...

Listen UP: 09/18/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games973 days ago

Need for Speed: Shift is the first game up and impressions continue to be middling.  With Halo 3: ODST‘s release mere days away it gets a lot of discussion.  Jeremy is excited about the departure in mood and over-world structure of the game.  He does mention that this is probably not exactly what hardcore Halo fans are really looking for though. Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story continues to entertain with its light-hearted action and clever writing.  John has been playing Gran Turismo PSP and is unimpressed.  He cites the...

Joystiq Podcast 109 – Porcadillo edition

by Jonathan Downin in Games973 days ago

It’s a Chris-less show this week, but Griffin is always a great addition to the group.  He is almost as able as Chris in creating awkward silences.  There are a lot of games discussed here.  The description of Borderlands post–apocalyptic setting being unique in that it is not overbearing and dark like Fallout 3 makes it sound like a fresh take on a trodden setting. The Modern Warfare 2 event and reveal of the “super elite” 250Gb bundle is the biggest news of the week.  Justin asks who needs a 250Gb as his recently acquired...

Rebel FM Episode 32 – 09/17/09

by Jonathan Downin in Games974 days ago

Robert Ashley is on this week and that is always a good thing.  WET impressions and reviews have been disparate, but there is no doubt which side the Rebel FM guys fall on the issue– they don’t like it.  Darkest of days fares even worse here, but for the definitive view on the game, Giant Bomb’s quick look can’t be beat. Scribblenauts has not proven to be the game that the press had hyped it up to be, but Robert seems to be on the right track when he calls for an iPhone release of the game.  Anthony attended the recent...

Listen UP: 08/21/2009

by Jonathan Downin in Games1001 days ago

Don’t let this week’s Listen UP fool you with it’s shorter length and only 2 man crew, there are a ton of games covered here.  Garnett and Sam are recording from Germany and they are hitting everything. First up is the PS3 slim news and the guys are understandably excited, but Garnett doesn’t feel like the new system is too handsome looking and the lack of backwards compatibility brings some disappointment.  Moving onto Microsoft, the Fable III and episodic Fable II announcements go over well, with Garnett positive that...
